Description
An Animal Farm for the 21st Century, the slyly subversive political satire, Animals, Inc. takes aim at corporations, consumerism, and "predatory" capitalism gone awry, exploring the relatively harmless inanities of the contemporary business world, but also its darker side.
The plot follows a lively group of animals as they try to prevent their small family farm from being bought out by the neighboring factory farm after the death of their beloved owner. Led by a clever and forward-looking raven named Poe, the animals believe they can design an "animal-friendly" corporation that is profitable while avoiding the grisly practices of the human-run industrial farms. Despite many misadventures and near catastrophes, it appears-against all odds-their incredible enterprise just might succeed.
But when a conniving raccoon installs himself as Chairman of Animal Inc.'s Board of Directors profit is made the yardstick of success, Poe is torn between succumbing to the temptations of money and greed, and staying true to the original vision of a farm of the animals, by the animals and for the animals.
