Summary: Cute story--amazing visual effects work.
Review: It's easy to see why Rhythm and Hues won an academy award for their work on Babe. The visual effects are so good that for a minute you actually forget that animals don't talk.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: It's the kind of movie that makes you go "aaaw...".
Review: I love this movie. It's sweet, it's innocent, it's touching and it's the first movie I think I've ever seen that actually really *is* as hearwarming as the marketing proclaims. I cried (not so shocking), my husband cried (okay, now *that's* shocking), we loved it thoroughly and we didn't even have kids the first time we saw it.

What a beautiful little movie. I highly recommend it to anyone with a heart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A TRUE CLASSIC
Review: I am a film buff, who never had much interest in children's films, because they were either cloying, patronizing, or incredibly manipulative. This one is different. This film does what any great film should do-involve you in the many layers, subtexts and subtleties of the film. While many would say, well, its just a story about a pig- I say-quite wrong! I am always attracted to the well-constructed story, and yes, this film is better than the book. Not because you can see it- I often prefer books to movies, because I create all the scenes in my imagination. It is because it plumbs deeper than the book, to create something as rare as the perfect short story- the perfect fable. All great fables teach us something about life- and that is what BABE does so splendidly. Indeed, life and goodness shine through beautifully in this film. And truth- BABE does not shrink from showing us reality. It seems to be such a little story- and its not. Yet, it is highly enjoyable, and it is even more rewarding for adults than children-although it is a perfect family film. I cried buckets when I saw this film in the theater, because it brought back memories of my childhood, when a lonely girl created an imaginary landscape of talking animals in the forest. The film appealed to me on so many levels, though. Move over Les Enfants du Pardis- BABE is now my favorite film, and I highly recommend this film to you. END

Summary: Great Movie For Those Who Don't Like Kids Movies
Review: If you loathe children's movies, you'll like Babe. Its hard to explain how smart, funny & charming this movie is. Part of the charm is the fact that almost all of the characters have distinctive personalities. The humans act like normal humans and the animals have normal human emotions. Endlessly inventive and with a heart of gold. Tremendous fun for everyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A CHARMING STORY THAT BOTH PARENTS AND CHILDREN WILL ENJOY.
Review: The pigs aren't the most popular animals in the world for good reasons, but this particular little pig, named Babe, will win your sympathy even if you hate animal films in general......"Babe" is the story of a charismatic pig that is adopted by Arthur Hoggett, a gentle farmer; Hoggett plans to eat our little fella on Christmas, but that plan is forgotten when the farmer discovers something special: Babe can perform several tasks that only a dog can do; Babe also has a heart of gold, and even the most straight-faced creatures begin to develop sympathy for the pig.......During the movie, the most colorful, wild and funny animals join the little Babe in this charming adventure, you will see a duck that thinks that is a rooster, brave dogs, a little mice chorus and a gentle sheep, among others. "Babe" is a movie that everybody will enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful surprise!
Review: Going into the movie, I expected a silly children's story that would be unappealing to anyone older than seven. I was terribly wrong. "Babe" is a beautiful movie. It has a near perfect blend of tension, comedy, and heartfelt drama. What may be most surprising about the film is that all of this comes from talking animals (and a fine performance by James Cromwell as Farmer Hoggett). The movie has a timeless, magical quality that is helped by its excellent cinematography. The film works both as a delightful children's story and a pattern of beautiful metaphors, including a powerful one of a child's relation to their parent or even as a person's relation to God. "Babe" also includes an excellent musical score using a nice variation on Saint Saen's Symphony No.3. "Babe" is a treat for the whole family and an instant classic.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: heartbreaking and cruel
Review: I just got done watching this movie and am really disgusted.If the writers intention was to make kids and adults cry and be horrified, well thumbs up.After giving each animal personality, they got killed off.this movie went from bad to worse.The kids were so upset by it, i turned it off 3/4 of the way through and tossed it in the trash.I kept fastforwarding over sad parts, thinking it had to get happier, only to have something more awful happen next.It had potential to be wonderful, with the animation and scenery, but they made it a movie that animal lovers can not stomach.
