DVD Reviews of Babe (Widescreen Special Edition)
DVD Review: Great For Kids
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie in a theater with my family. I thought that it was a well made movie. The special effects with the little mice singing, and the 'talking' animals, are cute. This basically is a movie about finding out who you are, and where you belong. Babe wants to help out on the farm, and because he is a pig, the other animals don't think that he would be good with rounding up the sheep. Because of his gentleness and politeness, the sheep agree to help him. The other animals see his ability to do this purely because of his kind heart. This is a very gentle movie. One that all parents should get.(There is one small 10 second scene with a dogfight). Nothing major. The two dogs,(male and female)get along at the end.DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I saw this on a non-commercial movie channel. We are both animal "nuts" and really enjoyed it so I ordered it for my 2 year old grandson. He loves it. It's a lovely movie and is very refreshing compared to the smart alleck children's movies of today. DVD Review: Babe, A Pig In The City
Summary: 5 Stars
I speak for my wife and I when I say that this series both Babe and Babe A Pig In The City have to be two of the best movies I have ever seen.
The script is wonderful, the production is great and very cute I might add and our Grandchildren are just in love with these 2 sure to be classics
A true must see for anyone who loves animals
If I had an extra set of hands it would get 4 thumbs up and a big toe
DVD Review: A Perfect Score
Summary: 5 Stars
I rarely give a perfect score though I have given many 8's and 9's because I am extremely selective about which movies I watch. In this case babe really came through all the way to the end. Often movies can do well but kind of flub the ending by carrying on longer than the "Ah ha" moment. Babe however ended just right leaving you with glowing warm feelings.
Babe was entertaining, funny, somewhat thought provoking, and even a tad spiritual. Babe really prods the viewer to reconsider how they think about animals. Even though these animals are obviously anthropomorphized the movie still manages to break through our preconceptions.
I'm not sure how much of an animal rights bent this movie intended but for me it seemed obvious that deeper issues were implied. Ultimately though, even without much thought this is an easy movie to watch with its positive and wholesome values. I was heartened to see something so benign and at the same time well done movie (often a hard combination to be had) come out of Hollywood. In a time when it often seems almost anything goes this was a most welcome alternative.
Description of Babe (Widescreen Special Edition)
Academy Award winner and Best Picture nominee, Babe is the inspirational story of a shy Yorkshire piglet who doesn't quite know his place in the world. But when Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell) wins him at the county fair, Babe discovers that he can be anything he wants to be - even an award-winning sheepdog! With the help of a delightful assortment of barnyard friends, the heroic little pig is headed for the challenge of his life in this endearing and fun-filled tale the whole family will love.The surprise hit of 1995, this splendidly entertaining family film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture, director, and screenplay, and deservedly won the Oscar for its subtly ingenious visual effects. Babe is all about the title character, a heroic little pig who's been taken in by the friendly farmer Hoggett (Oscar nominee James Cromwell), who senses that he and the pig share "a common destiny." Babe, a popular mischief-maker the Australian farm, is adopted by the resident border collie and raised as a puppy, befriended by Ferdinand the duck (who thinks he's a rooster), and saves the day as a champion "sheep-pig." Filled with a supporting cast of talking barnyard animals and a chorus of singing mice (courtesy of computer enhancements and clever animatronics), this frequently hilarious, visually imaginative movie has already taken its place as a family classic with timeless appeal. --Jeff Shannon
