OLD MAJOR
CREATED BY:
George Orwell
VOICED BY:
Sir Peter Ustinov
AS SEEN IN:
"Animal Farm"
From the Muppet Wiki:
Old Major is an aging prized show pig in Animal Farm. Nearing the end of
his life, Old Major wishes to impart wisdom to his fellow animals, encouraging
them to rejoice in the nobility of their "animalism," care for each other
collectively, and fight to eventually be freed from men. During the meeting at
the barn, Jones (who is attracted by the noise) goes to investigate, he slips in
mud and fires his gun, hitting Old Major in the rear. Major then falls back off
of the loft to his death. His memory is honored by the animals, but later abused
by Napoleon, who goes so far as to bring the rotting head of the boar, saved
from the Jones' icebox.
In the original George Orwell novel, Old Major was largely inspired by Karl Marx.
