Neither is Animal Farm

Given its placement on mega-cheap DVD racks, I would guess that the animated version of Animal Farm (very nicely done, btw) is regarded as public domain. I would be surprised if those cut-rate DVD companies are paying royalties to the Orwell estate.

Not in the US. Copyright is pretty much perpetual in the U.S. now because Disney has enough money to buy all the congrescritters they need to keep it that way.
