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.

The Worst Film Ever
Redundant and unnecessary.
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
This movie is about one little pig. He makes a lot of friends at a farm whose owner is Arthur, an old and quite farmer. Arthur lets Babe, the little pig,to participate in a sheepdog contest even though he is not a "dog." Babe mentions many problems but friendship between him and his friends and Arthur makes Babe strong.The most interesting point of this movie, in my opinion, is that friends around Babe, including Arthur, respects and loves him. I am moved when Rex, who has hated Babe at first, changes.The message of this story I thought is that prejudice of appearance should be seen as a very bad thing. Even though the first appearance is not really good, the person, the animal in this movie, might be a great one or he or she might has a wonderful skill of something.In conclusion, this movie is a story of a pig who is good at leading sheep. The most attracting thing of the movie is that Babe has a special skill and character which make him very popular. The main idea is that you should not evaluate people only by their appearance. This is a great movie which I recommend.
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.
For a movie about a talking pig, I never thought Babe would come close to being a great movie, especially after watching that catastrophe in Gordy. But here we are watching a film that was nominated for seven Oscars including Best Picture, which is especially great for a children's film. I like how this film is mature, especially for a kids film. It may be rated G, but some of the dialogue had me thinking it was an adult-friendly drama. But I really liked the film because it's a pleasing family-friendly film that features a dynamic story, great acting, and just very cute animals.Chris Noonan's film tells the story of Babe and his life at Farmer Hoggett's farm. When he first got Babe, of course he Babe was going to be used for ham, bacon, and pork. But Hoggett, along with his adoptive mother Fly (a dog), begins to realize his potential as a sheepherder and decides to enlist him in a sheepherding contest.The film does have great acting, believe it or not. James Cromwell is excellent as the simple, seemingly hare-brained farmer. Magda Szubanski is reliable as Farmer Hoggett's wife. We also get some good voice acting from the likes of Hugo Weaving and Christine Cavanaugh, who recently passed away, as the titular character of Babe.Overall, Babe is a timeless classic and a film that generations of people will be able to enjoy. It is much smarter than the average children film. The animation is very good, hence the visual effects win. The film manages to be cute, but also funny as well. I just love that wacky duck who constantly fears he will be eaten. On the whole, this is one of the better family films out there. It's much better than Gordy, so watch this film instead. I rate this film 9/10.
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.
