It's rare to see this kind of care expended on any movie; on a family picture, it's a small miracle.

Reviews for Babe
It has been so long since I've genuinely cared about movie characters in a lighthearted story like this that I nearly wept with joy.
01/01/00
Entertaining and moving.
04/04/03
Through a mixture of imaginative storytelling, impressive animatronics, and irresistible cuteness, Babe casts a spell over all viewers -- young, old, or somewhere in between.
01/01/00
Top CriticA little moral masterpiece with its honoring of the values of hospitality, empathy and service of others.
08/21/02
...brought home the bacon at the box-office.
06/25/04
A sweet, surprisingly moving little fable.
01/18/04
Babe is a movie made with charm and wit, and unlike some family movies it does not condescend, not for a second.
01/01/00
Top CriticThis 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.
05/13/08
The world of Babe isn't a seamless one, but it's surely inviting and rewarding.
01/01/00
As zany movies go, this one goes whole hog.
04/17/02
A charming and ingenious hit.
01/01/00
Unlike subsequent talking-animal pictures, Babe is a movie in which the human leads matter as much as the animals, or more so.
05/08/02
One of those rare family films that refuses to talk -- or rather write -- down to the viewer.
12/29/02
Babe provides a stunning revisionist take on barnyard politics, and may change the whole way we view pigs politically.
05/13/08
Though the filmmakers romanticize farm life, they don't sugarcoat the realities.
01/01/00
The underlying tricks are never allowed to upstage the story in all its humble sweetness.
01/01/00
Top CriticAll aspects of the movie are top-notch, especially the digital and animatronic effects used to bring the animals to life.
02/27/01
A dazzling family entertainment with enormous charm that utilizes breathtaking technical innovation.
05/13/08
Top CriticIt has a surprising charm.
