<P> In the 1954 film, Napoleon is voiced by Maurice Denham, and in the 1999 film, he is voiced by Patrick Stewart . </P> <P> In the ending of the 1954 film, Napoleon wears dictator - like clothing and pictures of him are put up signifying a cult of personality . In this version, the story ends with a mob of animals led by Benjamin seemingly killing Napoleon and the other pigs when they destroy the farmhouse's dining room, where the other pigs and he are having a meeting . This rather unsubtle change to a "happy" ending was done to make the story more politically correct, while at the same time abandoning Orwell's overall theme, which is the inevitability of mass uprisings that remove one dictator only to put another in his place . The 1999 film did not feature a specific revolution against Napoleon, but it did feature several animals fleeing his regime to hide in an area outside the farm, returning only after Napoleon's madness resulted in the destruction of the old farm and his own death . </P>
