Amazon.co.uk Review
The surprise hit of 1995, this splendidly entertaining family film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture, director, and screenplay, and deservedly won the Oscar for its subtly ingenious visual effects. iBabe/i is all about the title character, a heroic little pig who's been taken in by the friendly farmer Hoggett (Oscar nominee James Cromwell), who senses that he and the pig share "a common destiny." Babe, a popular mischief-maker the Australian farm, is adopted by the resident border collie and raised as a puppy, befriended by Ferdinand the duck (who thinks he's a cockerel), and saves the day as a champion "sheep-pig." Filled with a supporting cast of talking barnyard animals and a chorus of singing mice (courtesy of computer enhancements and clever animatronics), this frequently hilarious, visually imaginative movie has already taken its place as a family classic with timeless appeal. i--Jeff Shannon/i

Truely one of the classic family films that makes you feel all happy :Dbr /br /xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Beautiful July 26, 2007
This is such a wonderful film and it is so sad. Babe is the sweetest little thing on the planet. This film is great for children, adults, and even grandparents. I would recommend this to anyone that likes animals.
Charming And Tear-jerking July 7, 2007

This is a wonderful children's film, but I think it also appeals to a great many adults. I know many adults of varying ages who love to watch this, laughing at the funny moments (of which there are many), crying at the sad ones.br /br /The central character is a piglet called Babe whose family are taken from him in early childhood for slaughtering. From the beginning, we hear Babe's voice, and undoubtedly this will infuriate those with dull imaginations or little emotion, but the distress depicted when Babe is separated from his family is only too real, as many people who have witnessed such things can testify.br /br /Babe himself is sold to 'Farmer Hoggett', played superbly by James Cromwell, and the film takes off from there, showing Babe charming the many animals of the farm and Farmer Hoggett himself, who develops a bond of companionship, if not friendship, with Babe. There are a great many funny moments, including frequent appearances from singing mice, a jealous cat, and Babe's befriending of Ferdinand the duck.br /br /Babe also begins to develop an extraordinary talent, when Farmer Hoggett discovers he can work in the same capacity as a sheepdog, herding the sheep with the greatest of ease. All of this is amusing and sweet, and then Famer Hoggett hatches a plan to train Babe for the annual 'sheepdog' trials.br /br /This film works superbly on two levels: not only is it a beautifully sweet and innocent children's film with many funny moments, but it also has much to teach adults about the value of animals. Although we as the viewer hear the animals speaking in human tongue, and this doesn't happen in real life, it is a proven scientific fact that animals communicate with each other in their own ways, thus proving that they are very sentinent beings with real feelings and real value. The film shows adults that above all, animals have an intrinsic value above and beyond providing meals for humans, and interestingly, James Cromwell himself became a vegetarian during the filming of 'Babe'. This emotional aspect to the film will undoubtedly not be to everyone's taste, since there are a lot of callous people in the world, but this film definitely has an overall moral message which is hard to ignore: what sits on your plate today, walked, thought, and felt last week.

My daughter was seven when we watched this together and I think we both enjoyed it equally; and though I could not have watched it again as many times as she did over the next few months, I have certainly seen it at least twice since. How wonderful to have a film for any age group to enjoy. An enormous amount of care and thought has gone into making this and it shows. Its very funny, engaging, no awful mangled accents to struggle with, and the sound track is lovely - especially the mice!
The Movie with a Big Heart June 16, 2004

For those of us who are fans of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, this is a must have. The touching story of a Pig which thinks its a sheep dog is magical. This is one of those movies which will bring you back to your childhood and away from the every day toils of life.pBabe is the little pig who ends up on Hoggett farm and from the moment of arrival we are entertained no end with Ferdinand the Duck, singing mice, Fly and Rex (sheepdogs) and a host of other farm animals. James Cromwell, who gives a wonderful performance, plays the role of Farmer Hoggett. This a man who follows up those niggling idea's which don't go away.pThe storyline is simple but movin and combined with the visual effects, we have a movie which should appeal to both children and grown-ups. The storyline might be a little dark at times but this is counterbalanced with humour.pThis movie should cause a few eyes to moisten and the ending is truly captivating. At the end of the day, this movie is spellbinding, will tug at the heartstrings and leave you with a feel good feeling, bring a smile to your face.
