I recently read Animal Farm, thought it was awsome, but whats with the dodgy ending? Do the Animals get free of Communist Napoleon like on the 'hollywoodized' film or do they live an eternity of slavery under dictation?

Stick with the ending in the book. It's right, and dramatically correct. Nothing dodgy about it at all, unless you've been programmed to think there have to be happy endings (In which case, stay away from Hemingway!)
The leaders of the (justifiable, heroic,) rebellion have become indistinguishable from the dishonest and oppressive rulers who were overthrown.
Stalin was so different from a totalitarian tsar in exactly what way?

You used the word "dodgy". My interpretation of that is "depressed and scared". That's what I felt. 'Cuz I knew it was real, it was here, and it was going to stay. No darlin', the animals don't get free and the book wouldn't have endured if they had.

Depends on how you look at it.
I personally hated the book so I never too the time to analyze it. I hate how people are like "oh, this book is literary genius...the use of metaphors was ::place big adj. here::
They're animals. BFD!
