The exact definition of fable is subject to scrutiny, but two frequently cited components of a fable could exclude Animal Farm from the definition.
# A fable is often defined as a short story. Animal Farm may therefore be regarded as too long to qualify. # A fable usually features anthropomorphic non-human characters. Whilst the main story of Animal Farm focusses on such characters, they exist alongside human characters. As is evident here, Animal Farm's potential status as a fable is rather subjective. Whilst it is longer than what would usually be considered a 'short story', it is still somewhat shorter than a typical novel. Also, there is disagreement on whether the existence of non-human characters is a requirement, and if so, if human characters should also be precluded.
Another key element to a fable, however, is a moral or lesson to the story. This is undoubtedly the case for Animal Farm, as it rallies against Stalinism. Fables also tend to end by summarising this lesson in a single, and memorable, sentence:
'The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from
pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.'
