Editorial 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. Babe 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. --Jeff Shannon

  I remember watching this film when i was growing up and decided to have a flashback so i went online to buy this little beutie of a film.

• Beautiful
  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
  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.
  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... more info

• Piggy heaven
  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!
