Babe (Widescreen Special Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Amazing and moving!
Review: The dvd is great for Spanish as well as English speaking households. Both languages are well dubbed and the cinematography is magnificently beautiful. The Spanish version contributes a quirkier, more ethnic humor that just cannot be translated into English. Highly recommended, you will want to see it over and over again. Wish there was a widescreen version.

Summary: Dick King Smith is a great children's writer!
Review: Nobody in the US seems to realize that Babe is actually an adaptation of Dick King Smith's wonderful book "The Sheep Pig", and they're really missing out. He's very popular in Britain and Australia, and was one of my favorite authors when I was growing up. It's not surprising then that "Babe: A Pig in the City" was godawful, because they weren't taking it from one of his books (and Hollywood has problems with scripts....). Anyway, my point is that you should get your kids Dick King Smith books if you find them!

Summary: I just have to say...
Review: When I first saw Babe I walked out thinking: "How the hell did they get the animals do do that?" The animatronics/animation is that believable. Funniest bits are with the duck. And the part where babe sings "Jingle Bells" is a hoot.

Summary: You don't have to be a kid to love "Babe"
Review: A totally inspired surprise, this little piggy is one of the most charming films ever. The tale of an orphaned piglet who develops into, of all things, a sheepherding dog, its story will enthrall both children and adults alike. Despite the adorable talking animals and bucolic setting, the story is grounded in the basic realities of farm life and the position animals hold within the human world. As a result, it has a darker, at times more menacing edge than most such films - but nothing that should frighten or disturb anyone but the smallest of children. Terrific performances by all, seamless animatronic special effects, and well-deserved Oscar nominations (including Best Film) and a Best Supporting Actor win for James Cromwell as Farmer Hoggett. And the ending, where Babe is entered in a sheepherding competition, is as rousing and heartwarming as any sports finale ever filmed.

Summary: Great for the entire family!
Review: Wonderful film for all ages to watch. "Pig" seems so genuine and feeling. The film makers did a great job in creating this! (Only 1 drawback: the giggling mice in the lower part of the screen!)

Rating:
Summary: One of my all time favorites
Review: Not only extremely entertaining, but an important lesson in life. You owe it to yourself to watch this movie. If you have kids, every time they watch it (instead of ??? cartoons) they will be becoming better persons.

Summary: A brilliant, beautifully-crafted modern fable
Review: It's not just the cute animals and the clever voice-over animation that make this endlessly watchable by all ages - it's an anti-"Animal Farm," just as intelligent in its vision of society and well-observed actual animal characteristics that are both metaphors for human society and excellent portrayals of animal life, but also witty, sometimes ROTFL-funny, and genuinely moving. I'm sure the upcoming sequel will be just as cute and well-animated but I don't see how anything can touch the multi-layered story of the original.
