Philip Strapp and Lothar Wolf
These writer names are misspelled. Official film credits list Philip Stapp and Lothar Wolff, not Philip Strapp and Lothar Wolf.
Full reasoning
The names in this passage do not match the credited writers for Animal Farm.
The British Film Institute's official film entry lists the writers as Lothar Wolff and Philip Stapp (along with Borden Mace, John Halas, and Joy Batchelor). Because the article says Philip Strapp and Lothar Wolf, both surnames are incorrect spellings of the credited writers' names.

Halas and Bachelor
This company/family name is misspelled. The filmmakers were John Halas and Joy Batchelor, not 'Bachelor.'
Full reasoning
The surname Batchelor is misspelled here as Bachelor.
Official BFI sources identify the film's co-director and co-producer as Joy Batchelor, and a BFI feature about the film also refers to Halas and Batchelor and to their daughter Vivien Halas. So the phrase "Halas and Bachelor" is not the correct name.
