Snowball is a main character in the George Orwell story Animal Farm. He is a pig who leads the animals' rebellion against their sadistic master Mr. Jones, and comes into conflict with his rival Napoleon, who seeks power for himself.
He was voiced by Maurice Denham in the animated film and Kelsey Grammer in the 1999 film.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Admirable?[]
- He's loyal to Old Major and committed to honoring his ideals.
- He plays a leading role in the rebellion and overthrowing Mr. Jones.
- He writes the Seven Commandments, stating that all animals are equal and must never kill another animal.
- He creates a period of prosperity on the farm, inspiring the animals to work equally and forming committees to improve their lives.
- He leads the defense of the farm in the Battle of the Cowshed and fights bravely, taking on Jones himself even after getting shot and forcing Jones and his men to retreat.
- He mourns the death of a sheep who was killed in the battle.
- Though he hates humans for their cruel treatment of animals, he shows some standards as he's only seen fighting them in self-defense and doesn't use lethal force, opposing Napoleon's plan to use firearms against them.
- He wants to liberate all animals, sending birds to encourage the animals on other farms to rise up against their masters.
- He wants to build a windmill and use electricity to reduce labor on the farm, which would allow the animals to work only three days a week.
- He dislikes Napoleon for his selfish and power-hungry nature, and opposes his plans for the farm.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He sides with the other pigs when they ration milk and apples for themselves, though it's only mentioned briefly in a single line and his reasons are not given.
- He is rather misanthropic as he agrees with Old Major that all humans are enemies, and scolds Boxer for showing remorse when he thinks he accidentally killed a human in battle, saying the only good human is a dead one, preventing him from being NPG.
