   Animated Version of 'Animal Farm' With Altered Ending Among Films Produced   
   by the CIA   
   The Memory Hole has acquired a list of films that were produced or used by   
   the Central Intelligence Agency.   
      
   Among the films on the list is a 1955 animated version of George Orwell's   
   "Animal Farm," with its "chilling finale in which the farm animals looked   
   back and forth at the tyrannical pigs and the exploitative human farmers but   
   found it 'impossible to say which was which.'"   
      
     [The original] ending was altered in the 1955 animated version, which   
   removed the humans, leaving only the nasty pigs. . The C.I.A., it seems, was   
   worried that the public might be too influenced by Orwell's   
   pox-on-both-their-houses critique of the capitalist humans and Communist   
   pigs. So after his death in 1950, agents were dispatched (by none other than   
   E. Howard Hunt, later of Watergate fame) to buy the film rights to "Animal   
   Farm" from his widow to make its message more overtly anti-Communist.
