Babe (1995)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Such a frustrating disappointment

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

There is not one redeeming quality about this film. From the beginning we are supposed to care for a character we don't even know yet. The movie kills off this pig's mother 90 seconds into the film and already expects us to care. Then, the real plot starts. Babe ends up in a farm with many animals who all seem to have a hierarchy with many heavy-handed symbols to racism. They shove racism down your throats and will not let you come up for air at any point. Anyway, Babe falls in line with his new "mother;" a sheepdog. Babe quickly becomes a sheepdog himself due to the fact that he is not racist. Then he wont be turned into bacon. Then something about a sheep herding competition, a grumpy dog, and learning to not be racist everywhere, THE END. This movie does not care about you, and seems to have made a movie with many plot holes and design flaws and heavy-handed symbolism because the creators must've thought that it can be gotten away with in a kids film. But no. Kids films should not be equivalent to laziness. That's wrong, and this movie-goer will not stand for it! Do not see this film. It is a waste of time.1/10

Babe (Christine Cavanaugh), a pig raised by sheepdogs, learns to herd sheep with a little help from Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell).Is this the best film about talking farm animals since "Animal Farm"? Probably, although "Animal Farm" is still better. At least this is more wholesome, and full of more cuteness, so the kids like that. For the rest of us, we get Cromwell and Hugo Weaving.Most interesting (and maybe not well known), the script was written by George Miller. Do you know who that is? The creator of "Mad Max". What the heck? The same guy who brought us the most essential Australian cult film of all time (and launched Mel Gibson's career) also brings us a tale of a pig who hangs out with sheep? Sure, why not?

For a movie about a talking pig, I never thought Babe would come close to being a great movie, especially after watching that catastrophe in Gordy. But here we are watching a film that was nominated for seven Oscars including Best Picture, which is especially great for a children's film. I like how this film is mature, especially for a kids film. It may be rated G, but some of the dialogue had me thinking it was an adult-friendly drama. But I really liked the film because it's a pleasing family-friendly film that features a dynamic story, great acting, and just very cute animals.Chris Noonan's film tells the story of Babe and his life at Farmer Hoggett's farm. When he first got Babe, of course he Babe was going to be used for ham, bacon, and pork. But Hoggett, along with his adoptive mother Fly (a dog), begins to realize his potential as a sheepherder and decides to enlist him in a sheepherding contest.The film does have great acting, believe it or not. James Cromwell is excellent as the simple, seemingly hare-brained farmer. Magda Szubanski is reliable as Farmer Hoggett's wife. We also get some good voice acting from the likes of Hugo Weaving and Christine Cavanaugh, who recently passed away, as the titular character of Babe.Overall, Babe is a timeless classic and a film that generations of people will be able to enjoy. It is much smarter than the average children film. The animation is very good, hence the visual effects win. The film manages to be cute, but also funny as well. I just love that wacky duck who constantly fears he will be eaten. On the whole, this is one of the better family films out there. It's much better than Gordy, so watch this film instead. I rate this film 9/10.

This is a feel-good animal film based on the children's novel, Babe, a story about Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell) winning a runty piglet named Babe at the local fair. The pig befriends the other animals on Mr. Hoggett's farm and learns and takes on the job of sheep-herding.Though a children's story, this film can be enjoyed by adults as well, as it is heartfelt and charming that is perfect for the entire family. It brings a message of friendship, courage and teamwork and the lessons of growing up. The special effects team did a great job in making the real life animals talk, so you have to suspend reality for several minutes and imagine a world where animals can interact with each other like humans can.This film reminds me of Charlotte's Web, where the pig of that film has an innocent personality whose inquisitive nature eventually brought the farm animals closer, much like the characters in this film. There are also sad moments in the film (which can, I suppose, teaches children how complicated life can be), but much of the film is filled with innocence, joy and zany characters (both human and animals).I did, however, found that some of the plot points to be a tad slow and not as adventurous as some other animal movies like Charlotte's Web, but overall, the film is a real treat for the entire family.Grade B
