A witty, stylish, beautifully made charmer of a family picture.
That rare movie that completely fulfills its admittedly modest aims.

Babe is such a charming and enchanting film, that even the fussiest adult can't help finding it easy to like. Babe himself, voiced by Christine Cavanaugh(Darkwing Duck and Dexter's Laboratory) is an adorable character, and one scene in particular when his mother is taken away is a genuine tearjerker. The other animals are also just as engaging, including Ferdinand, and are well voiced by the likes of Miriam Margoyles and Hugo Weaving. The human characters were very warm and likable, and James Cromwell and Magda Szubanski were both wonderful. The film looks lovely, there is a nice story and the music is just superb, with Saint Saens' Organ Symphony and Delibes' Pizzicato. And I loved the singing mice, they were really sweet and funny. All in all, a true classic. 10/10 Bethnay Cox
Report
A captivating comic allegory about daring to be different in the face of conformity.
The characters (both animal and human) are solidly conceived, and the storytelling and visuals are expertly fashioned.
A film that can be enjoyed by all ages and that insults no one's intelligence.
Babe could charm the pants off the most unregenerate cynic.
Very boring story line with some laughs provided by Ferdinand the duck. The first half of the film was fine, but the second half was uninteresting. The acting was decent.
Report
This film is garbage due to the influence it has on vegetarianism and the fact that it has a scene those pigs from Australia put into it that references domestic violence which would be too much even for a children’s film. As result of this, Babe has been officially placed on ban for life from my digitally purchased streaming library.
