Babe is a little pig who doesn't quite know his place in the world. With a bunch of odd friends, like Ferdinand the duck who thinks he is a rooster and Fly the dog he calls mum, Babe realises that he has the makings to become the greatest sheep pig of all time, and Farmer Hogget knows it. With the help of the sheep dogs, Babe learns that a pig can be anything that he wants to be.

Reviews

schwapj There's no point in going over the plot here. There are a handful of one star sour grapes reviews that were all likely written by the cast of Apollo 13 or the dirtbags from the several mafia movies that came out that year. After that you don't get anything less than six stars and that's right where the reviews should start--at "above average". I just saw this tonight on cable for about the fifth time and had forgotten what a tremendous movie this is. Sure, a pig who herds sheep is a little corny, but like the plot or not, the movie is, as I say, Just About Flawless. It has some gentle humor, a few gentle lessons of the reality of farm life, some idyllic scenery, and shows cats for what they really are. Well made, well paced, well acted (to the extent the humans aren't just devices for the animals), and a satisfying conclusion. Great for all ages.

Cheritaro Babe is a film based on the children's Nobel "The Sheep-Pig" that wrote by Dick King-Smith's in 1983. Even though it's a comedy film made 20 years ago, wonderful VFX are used. Real animals and computer graphics are well matched, so we can enjoy the fantastic world without feeling strange. I think this film is about acceptance. Babe, A piglet left orphaned after his mother is slaughtered, is brought for Arthur's farm. Firstly, Border collie named Fly take care Babe instead of his mother. Dog and pig are difference species, but Fly accept Babe as her family. Also, Babe admire her and her job, sheep herding. After that, with warm, and pure heart of Baby built the trust from other animals. Sometimes, Babe shocked about what he is. However, he don't give up. Acceptance of himself, and other animals as mate work many miracles.

KARLA ES Each character is beautifully brought to life. From farmer Hoggett to Dutchess the cat, no matter how little is said, how little they are on screen they are pleasure to watch. Nothing is over stated or over explained. And it's all there before you: the beauty and the horror that is life. Now before I scare you thinking you will get some type of lecture shoved down your throat, let me say again: it is like a fairy tale. You are welcomed into both worlds of humans and animals and the story of what happens when their paths cross and you mix in a little love, patience and that belief that your dreams have a right to come true.

pavelb-968-44685 I've watched this flick many times now and can find nothing negative about the script, characters, narration, story-book sets or production. The contrast between Mother Hoggett and farmer Hoggett, as well as the dog's take on the order of things vs sheep's take, is utterly delightful. The development of the principal animals is electric with the frustrated duck, as the common man, being brilliant. Warning, PETA adherents and cat lovers, of which I can not number myself, might be offended. There is plenty of action and suspense to keep you riveted to the screen, yet everything falls within the bounds of talking-animal reality. The Director doesn't beat you over the head with the subtle morals (loyalty, pitfalls of "tribalism" (species-ism?), having the courage-of-your-own-convictions) that underline this story. A workmate of mine, the most oppressively cynical man on the face of the earth, was jumping around for days after seeing this film - it was as if he had been reborn. Any film that can have such a profound positive effect on a person is truly special. This film ranks up there with Ratatouille, The Gods Must be Crazy, It's a Wonderful Life and Waking Ned Devine as the cream of the crop.
