I vaguely remember “Animal Farm” from 1954, based on George Orwell’s novella to satirize communism (“some animals or more equal than others”), and imdb lists it as a 72 minute animated film, by Joy Batchelor and John Harris, from Louis de Rochment in the UK and France.
I think it played at the KB Ontario on Florida Ave in
Washington, which used to play mostly foreign films then.
YouTube has a longer 120 minute version. The novella was inspired
by the story of Welsh journalist Gareth Jones who “spied” on the Soviet
Holodomor in 1933.
