You don't have to be a kid to love "Babe"
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.
