Description: Babe, a pig raised by sheepdogs, learns to her sheep with a little help from Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell).
Review: This is the story of a little pig, named Babe, that lives on a farm and is raised by sheepdogs. This way Babe learns how to herd sheep and Farmer Hoggett sees that this pig is special.
“Babe” is the perfect family film. Images of the young pig and the other farm animals are heartwarming and melt all our hearts. And there are many lessons learned in this film as well. Lessons about friendship, stereotypes and judgement. And each animal has its on character trade. “Babe” also has some great comical moments and the animals look great (because they use animatronics and puppets sometimes).
“Babe” deals with some ‘grown-up themes as well, but is mainly focused on a younger audience. And this way the film is an easy watch and will warm your hearts. And even though it’s a mid-90s film, it’s not outdated at all and will still entertain many youngsters today. If you can still eat meat after watching this film…
Rating: 4 / 5
