The head of DreamWorks Animation, Jeffrey Katzenberg, considers the future of animated films and looks back at a career he describes as a rollercoaster.
Animal Farm was the first animated film made by the British film industry in 1954. But what nobody realised at the time, least of all the producers Halas and Batchelor, was that the film was financed by the CIA as part of the Cold War effort.
