Una noche todos los animales de la granja del señor Jones se reúnen en el granero para escuchar al viejo Mayor, un cerdo de avanzada edad, que les cuenta que ha tenido un sueño sobre un mundo en el que todos los animales viven libres de la tiranía de sus amos. El viejo mayor muere poco después de la reunión en el granero, pero los animales inspirados por su filosofía animalista empiezan a planificar una rebelión contra el señor Jones.
