  This is a thoroughly charming movie. I saw it when it first came out and here it is, sixteen (can it be?) years later and having seen probably everything that Netflix has to offer ordered it as a "what the hey." I liked it better the second time. The movie teeters on the verge of sentimentality, but pulls back in plenty of time so there is no cringing! My favorite part of the movie is when the stoic farmer, nursing Babe who is sick with the thought that the farmer just wants to eat him, sings him a song, then--omigosh--does a highland dance. I don't think I've ever seen a more original declaration of interspecies love.

  With a large targeted to the infantile audience, Babe obtain a nice effect to an older public with an intelligent screenplay, a good direction, just like the special effects and a simple language about dreams and friendship. Babe is a different tale that impress all for his humor and criative script. Fresh.

  I loved Dick King Smith books, must've read a dozen of them as a kid. This movie was awesome when I was a kid--the farm animals were charmingly brought to life, and extra points for the loveable mice singing a beachy "If I Had Words"! It didn't quite stay true to the understated elegance of the book, but is still a classic in my heart.

  Cute talking animals. A young piglet is won at a fair and is brought back to live on a farm. He wants to be a sheep dog, herding sheep like his adopted dog mother. I love the farmer, his wife and their farmhouse. Very quaint.

  You know, live action kids movies just aren't what they used to be. "The Haunted Mansion" was okay and "Nacho Libre" was a amazing, but a great many of them are pretty bad. That said, "Babe" is the best live action kids movie to date. It was smart, funny, heartwarming, everything a kids movie should be. It remains one of my all time favorites. Let me start of by saying that I love pigs. They're one of my favorite animals. Babe is no exception. Christine Cavanaugh did a great job as the lovable Babe, portraying the perfect amount of innocence and farm ignorance. Her performance was probably the best voice acting performance I've seen in a VERY long time. James Cromwell also did a fantastic job as Farmer Hoggett, despite few lines in the movie. In fact, I think the whole cast did a really good job. This movie can also be really funny at times. Ferdinand the Duck was incredibly funny, for a children's film. Usually, I don't laugh once at kids films, but this one was actually pretty funny at times. The script was really fantastic too. This movie is known for having one of the best script of any children's movie, and the title is rightly deserved. If you haven;t seen it, it's basically the exact opposite of "Battlefield: Earth" What makes this movie so amazing is the emotion. It is by far the most emotional kids movie I have ever seen. There are so many heartwarming scenes in this one, as well as a few sad ones. It really angers me that people say that "The Gameplan" (Which I HATED) has a lot of heart when this movie has 12 times as much. The characters were really likeable too. Babe, a newcomer to farm animal society, is one of the most likeable characters in movie history. He loves everyone and everything, and is always trying to help out, even if he is not always wanted. Farmer Hoggett was also very likeable. Because of this movie, I don;t eat bacon, pork or ham. If you haven;t seen it, I highly recommend it. This is like the "Toy Story" of live action kids films. You'll be rooting for Babe all the way!

  Fantastic

  Why did I hate this movie? The lame, stupid, unfunny comedy mixed with the annoying talking animals you have to watch for the whole film, I suppose? Yeah, let's just say this movie irks me.

  Babe is a timeless classic. A visionary genius movie that was loved by many as kids.

  Amazingly cute. That is all I have to say. Plus I have some mad respect for all the film people who had to work with ten thousand animals. AC rating: Again, GIANT surprise this commentary was here. It was from the animal coordinator (or some title) of the film and so it was… More
  Amazingly cute. That is all I have to say. Plus I have some mad respect for all the film people who had to work with ten thousand animals. AC rating: Again, GIANT surprise this commentary was here. It was from the animal coordinator (or some title) of the film and so it was interesting to hear how they did all this. And I mean there is now way THAT was easy. Plus it was very interesting to know all the millions of other details that had to happen for this to happen.

  a beautiful film about one of the most unlikely subjects, babe is definitely one of the most heart melting films ever.

• Kyle F

  
  Babe is high quality feel good material. Complimented by a great soundtrack and beautiful scenery, the dazzling story of a pig turned sheep dog is classic. The atmosphere itself is hard to top.
