A young pig fights convention to become a sheep dog -- or, rather, sheep pig -- in this charming Australian family film, which became an unexpected international success due to superior special effects and an intelligent script. The title refers to the name bestowed on a piglet soon after his separation from his family, when he finds himself on a strange farm. Confused and sad, Babe is adopted by a friendly dog and slowly adjusts to his new home. Discovering that the fate of most pigs is the

It has a surprising charm.
Australian director Chris Noonan and producer George Miller show what real talent and imagination can do, even without big-name humans as costars.
The characters (both animal and human) are solidly conceived, and the storytelling and visuals are expertly fashioned.
A dazzling family entertainment with enormous charm that utilizes breathtaking technical innovation.
A lovely, intelligent gem of G-rated entertainment that is also rib-tickling funny.
If only people would be more like these animals, the world, though hardly saner, would certainly be a lot more fun.
Heartwarming farm story touching and a bit scary.
Every movie for children should be made with this much care, expressing this much unparalleled richness and beauty
This reviewer for one, hasn't been able to face a pork chop in the months since, and is still laughing at the vibrant joyousness of this delicious comic fable.
It's enough to turn you vegetarian.
Babe provides a stunning revisionist take on barnyard politics, and may change the whole way we view pigs politically.
This Australian-made movie has a darker edge than most American kiddie films, but a perfectly contrived happy ending should soothe juvenile sensibilities. Adults, meanwhile, may find themselves enthralled.
Its seemingly effortless synthesis of humor and pathos [is] almost as wonderful as is its ability to capture the sense of awe and fear that attends youth's initial exposure to the big wide world.
This enchanting, cleverly made fable, brings freshness and charm to the premise of talking animals. A sleeper, the picture was nominated for 7 Oscars, including Best Picture, winning one for Visual Effects.
This flick brings home the bacon
Charming, eccentric and very amusing.
One of the five greatest family films ever made. Possibly the best. Pure magic.
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

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.
