Snowball is a character in George Orwell's 1945 novel Animal Farm. He is largely based on Leon Trotsky, who led the opposition against Joseph Stalin (Napoleon). He is shown as a white hog on the movie poster for the 1999 film Beast Subcontract, and as a white pig in the 1954 flick. Snowball is voiced past Maurice Denham and Kelsey Grammar in the 1954 and 1999 films, respectively.

Snowball's ideas [edit]

Flag of Animate being Subcontract designed past Snowball.

Snowball believes in a continued revolution: he argues that to defend Creature Farm, he must strengthen the reality of One-time Major's dream of a life without humans and that they must stir upwards rebellions in other farms throughout England. However, Napoleon ever disagrees with any ideas that Snowball has considering he does not want Snowball to lead Brute Subcontract and proceeds more popularity than himself.

Snowball also writes the first version of the Seven Commandments. They are afterwards altered by Squealer under the orders of Napoleon, to accommodate the actions of the pigs. For example, the commandment stating "No brute shall drink alcohol" is inverse to "No animal shall drink alcohol to excess", and that which states "No animal shall sleep in a bed" has been inverse to "No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets". Another commandment, "No animal shall kill another brute" is changed to "No beast shall kill another animate being without cause". Later all the commandments are replaced with one phrase: "All animals are equal, merely some animals are more equal than others". The last amending to the commandments is seen towards the terminate of the book where Benjamin (the donkey) reads out the Commandments to Clover (an onetime cart horse).

Snowball is eventually forced out of the subcontract when Napoleon uses his baby-sit dogs to attack Snowball. After that, he is blamed for problems on the subcontract. Information technology is believed that he was in back up of Jones from the start too every bit sowing seeds with weeds. Though he fought bravely at the Battle of the Cowshed, the facts are contradistinct to say he openly fought for Jones and that the shot wounds are changed to wounds Napoleon inflicted on him. Those defendant of supporting him are executed afterward existence forced to confess, and a reward is offered for his capture.

Snowball is an inventive pig who influences others to his side with intelligence and compassion. It is never revealed what happens to him after his escape. In the 1954 blithe adaptation it is unsaid that the dogs kill him. However, in the 1999 live-action film adaption, he is shown escaping the dogs and surviving, though Napoleon declares him banished under pain of death.

CIA-made character changes [edit]

When the novel Animal Farm was adapted for the screen in the 1950s, the CIA investors were initially greatly concerned that Snowball was presented too sympathetically in early script treatments and that Batchelor'due south script implied Snowball was "intelligent, dynamic, courageous". A memo alleged that Snowball must be presented every bit a "fanatic intellectual whose plans if carried through would have led to disaster no less complete than under Napoleon." De Rochemont afterwards implemented these changes.^[1]
