It's enough to turn you vegetarian.

Charming, eccentric and very amusing.

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.

A wonderful family movie; one of the best of the 1990s, and all time.

So bloody loveable that even the worst cynic will be hard-pressed to condemn it.

The world of Babe isn't a seamless one, but it's surely inviting and rewarding.

Though the filmmakers romanticize farm life, they don't sugarcoat the realities.

One of the five greatest family films ever made. Possibly the best. Pure magic.

A hilarious fantasy, about a plucky piglet that learns how to tend sheep, Babe is a barnyard charmer.

Top CriticEntertaining and moving.

As zany movies go, this one goes whole hog.

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.
