Summary/Abstract: George Orwell’s 'Animal Farm' (1945) featured a subtitle: A Fairy Story. It was the first lead that the author launched this ironical challenge for the readers to find new meanings and various interpretations. Since then, it was defined as: fable (Miller, 2026), allegory (Asadova, 2024), metaphorical model (Kozlova, 2016), political fable (Lanigan, 2006), dystopian science fiction novel (Muradian, 2016). Whatever it is called, this allegorical political novel has generated many debates, research, and scientific discussions. It was inevitable that the allegorical novel would turn into a film. In 1954, a British - American animated movie was adapted and released. The present research focuses on the challenges in subtitling the animated movie Animal Farm (1954), some of its linguistic and technical strategies, opportunities and limitations during the subtitling process.
