           Animal Farm is an enchanting musical stroll through a little boy’s imagination.  It begins as a boy takes the book Animal Farm off his bookshelf and sits by his toy barnyard to read.  While he does so, the barnyard becomes an imaginative set in which the barnyard animals seek to take over control of the yard, as they feel they will have a better life without the interference of the farmer.  Their quest for this new life soon leads them to establish a totalitarian microcosm in which some animals are far more equal than others.
