Awesome / Animal Farm

• Jessie (at the beginning of the 1999 film) tackles Mr. Jones for threatening to whip Boxer, knocking his drunk ass out.
• The Battle of the Cowshed. Sure, things go sour after that, but the scene where the animals drive Farmer Jones back out is awesome.
  • Snowball himself is a pretty awesome character himself, especially in the 1954 film. He's the first animal to charge straight into battle, and he leads the other animals to whoop the humans' butts. Finally despite being wounded by Mr. Jones, he is able to defeat him with help from Boxer, and personally drives all the humans from the farm. His deeds in the fight also lead to much fewer casualties that the latter battle led by Napoleon. All of this goes to show that Snowball arguably would have been a better leader than Napoleon ever was.
• The Battle of the Windmill. All battles are awesome, but some are more awesome than others.
• Mollie may have been vain and frivolous, but we must give credit where credit is due. She bails on Animal Farm — apparently so she can enjoy sugar and ribbons and other luxuries again, but still, it's hard not to support her choice by the end of the story. No matter what her reasons were, she got the hell out while she could.
• Boxer standing up to Squealer and defending Snowball from his accusations of being a traitor. Even though he backs down it’s one of the only times someone calls Squealer out on his propaganda.
• The Purge. The dogs execute four pigs, some geese and hens, and then they try to take on Boxer, who nearly crushes the frightening dog under his hoof, making it beg for mercy. He only releases it when Napoleon orders him to, while the other dogs cower in fear. BURN.
• The song "Napoleon, Mighty Leader" at the end of the 1999 film. Awesome Music at its finest.
• Napoleon's other versions. He dies in both but we have both of them with evil and perfect voices. Mainly the 1999 who feels he's somehow more evil than the others. (His idea of a distraction to taking Jessie's puppies away? Drive Snowball away.)
• The ending of the 1954 film, where Benjamin the donkey leads the animals of Animal Farm against Napoleon and his pigs. The look on Benjamin's face as he's marching at the front of the crowd instantly spells "We're not gonna take it anymore." Even better is when Napoleon tries (and fails) to summon his drunk attack dogs, leaving him at the mercy of the animals he's tortured for years, leaving him with a marvelous Oh, Crap! face once he realizes he and the other pigs are about to get what’s coming to them.
  "To the animals, it now seemed that their world, which may or may not someday become a happy place to live in, was worse than ever for ordinary creatures. And another moment had come when they must do something about it!"
  • The animation for Napoleon in the scene is especially strong, initially he remains as self-assured as ever and stays calm whilst his fellow pigs cower. Then when he realizes his dogs aren’t coming; he begins to get nervous but keeps his composure, even shooting a glare at the animals out the window. Then scene begins to cut back and forth between the marching animals and Napoleon, and each time we return to Napoleon the pig is steadily getting more and more afraid. Finally, when the animals are upon him, any sort of pride or anger Napoleon has is totally gone and the final expression he makes is one of wide-eyed terror and horror.
