It brought back good memories of reading this story when I was a kid. If you are unfamiliar with the work, it is an Excellent satire of the Russian Revolution by George Orwell.

Jim Henson's shop pulled off another winner. The use of CGI, and "Muppets" mixed with Live animals was a cool twist, and added a LOT of realism to the flick.

I was saddenned I do not have any children to share this with. It's an excellent way to expose kids to the relationships of idealism to practical application in the implimentation of  eco-social-politico systems.
