Animal Farm to break all records

April 24, 1998

Animal Farm, Hallmark Entertainment and the Jim Henson Creature Shop's upcoming TV-movie, is expected to be the most expensive two-hour TV-movie of all time, reports TNT.

By the time it airs, the movie is expected to cost between $22 million and $25 million. (Ironically, the movie does cost more than the NBC hyped "Merlin" which is going to air on Sunday night).

TNT president Brad Siegel predicted that the movie "will be a technological feat that’s going to make ‘Babe’ look like a high school film."
