Profile of Babe

The mood of Babe is offbeat, feel good, and touching. The plot centers around a rise to the top, best friends, and misfits. It is a drama, comedy, and family movie. Stylistically, Babe has a Hollywood tone. In approach, it is fantastical. It happens in the 1990s. Visually, Babe involves special effects. It is drawn from a folktale. The movie is known for being original, a blockbuster, and an award winner. Babe is especially suggested for kids and a family outing.

Summary of Babe

A little pig with big dreams teaches himself to be a sheepdog in this marvelous fantasy based on Dick King-Smith's children's novel "The Sheep-Pig." When an old farmer wins a piglet at a carnival by guessing its weight, be brings the oinker, named Babe, home. At first, the little animal feels confused and lonely. But a maternal collie, who just delivered her own litter, welcomes Babe into her family, and teaches him about farm life. Soon the precious pig proves that he can be a pretty valuable asset to the farmer and his wife--in a most unexpected way. Special effects allow the entire menagerie of farm animals to speak throughout this magical live-action tale.

The all-time great talking-pig movie, a lovely, intelligent gem of G-rated entertainment that is also rib-tickling funny. Full Review

The New York Times

The movie maintains a refreshingly light touch in spinning a fable about individualism and conformity. Full Review

A touching story about a simple pig who longs to be more. Easily my favorite movie of all time. Children will enjoy the talking animals, and there's enough story to keep adults interested as well. Fun for the whole family! Read and rate it
