The video is a radio drama created to reflect the events leading up to and the banning of Beasts of England. The animals sing the song in a depressed, melancholy tune, reflecting how reality is not living up to their ideals of revolution. However, they are cut off by the pigs and Squealer propagandizes an explanation of why the song has been banned, hiding their true reasons. Following this, Minimus recites the replacement, the poem "Comrade Napoleon." In the background, a beat may be heard, representing the frustration of the animals towards their new dictators and about their readiness, which never comes to fruition in the novel but is hinted at the end, for a second revolution.
