Like The Simpsons, and to a degree its various US cartoon followers, Babe is a film sophisticated enough to be too good for many adults.It isn't just the Saint-Saens organ symphony adaptation, If I Had Words, as its music score which marks it as a film to pay attention to. Or the fabulous character creations like Ferdinand. The simple but fundamental moral of the story is the profound truth that treating others as you would like to be treated yourself is the way to be. And that this works - just look at non-British-Capitalist Northern European nations' unmatched economic and social success in the latter half of the 20th century.Yes, cooperation and good communication beat brutality any day, even if at the expense of all those individuals and corporations who live off hatred and contempt.There's unfortunately no danger of Babe's philosophy making the world what it could be. That's the only reason it is a fairytale - and in any case not for children.

Babe is a film based on the children's Nobel "The Sheep-Pig" that wrote by Dick King-Smith's in 1983. Even though it's a comedy film made 20 years ago, wonderful VFX are used. Real animals and computer graphics are well matched, so we can enjoy the fantastic world without feeling strange. I think this film is about acceptance. Babe, A piglet left orphaned after his mother is slaughtered, is brought for Arthur's farm. Firstly, Border collie named Fly take care Babe instead of his mother. Dog and pig are difference species, but Fly accept Babe as her family. Also, Babe admire her and her job, sheep herding. After that, with warm, and pure heart of Baby built the trust from other animals. Sometimes, Babe shocked about what he is. However, he don't give up. Acceptance of himself, and other animals as mate work many miracles.

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?

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
