Movie Summary

This great family movie is an Academy Award winner and Best Picture nominee. In the world of the Hoggett’s farm every creature has a preordained purpose until the orphaned piglet Babe arrives and turns everything upside down. Cared for by Fly, the sheepdog, Babe soon thinks that he too is a sheep herder. Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell) senses something special in Babe and, though everyone thinks he’s crazy, he enters Babe in a sheepdog competition. Just when the world is laughing loudest, the tall farmer and the short pig step into the arena to compete and everyone is in for a giant surprise. The barnyard Babe lives in is full of unforgettable characters. With the help of a delightful assortment of barnyard friends – there’s Ferdinand, the quacky duck; Maaa, the elderly ewe; and a trio of singing mice – the heroic little pig is headed for the challenge of his life in this endearing and fun-filled tale.

Movie Review for Parents - Our View

-by Allison

This is a charming tale that is suitable for all ages. Utilizing real-life farm animals that appear to talk like humans, this creative movie follows Babe, the innocent runt of a litter of pigs. He’s raised by a farmer and befriends a sheepdog and many other animals as he embarks on an endeavor to prove that he is capable of being a sheep-pig. This film encourages perseverance and ambition and demonstrates that despite what others think, you can try hard, work hard and succeed. Wondrous things can happen to good animals (and people).
