Snowball is a character in George Orwell's 1945 novella Animal Farm. He is largely based on Leon Trotsky, who led the opposition against Joseph Stalin (Napoleon). Snowball is depicted as an intellectual pig whose leadership, dedication, and feats for Animal Farm is unparallel to any others on the farm; however, he is rivalled by Napoleon, who hates him. In the 1954 film adaptation of Animal Farm, he was voiced by Maurice Denham, and was voiced by Kelsey Grammer in the 1999 television adaptation. The character is voiced by Laverne Cox and sex-swapped to a female in the 2025 film.
