Gentle farmer Arthur Hoggett (James Cromwell) wins a piglet named Babe (Christine Cavanaugh) at a county fair. Narrowly escaping his fate as Christmas dinner when Farmer Hoggett decides to show him at the next fair, Babe bonds with motherly border collie Fly (Miriam Margolyes) and discovers that he too can herd sheep. But will the other farm animals, including Fly's jealous husband Rex, accept a pig who doesn't conform to the farm's social hierarchy?

Much to my surprise, I found Babe charming in an eccentric, oddly tough-minded sort of way. And if it isn't quite good enough to change my mind about the entire critter-chat genre, it is certainly good enough to recommend.

TIME Magazine

He's brave and bright, good-natured and ambitious, naive and vulnerable. All in all, he's probably the most winsome orphan to appear on the screen since Freddie Bartholomew impersonated David Copperfield 60 years ago.

New York Daily News

Thanks to well-trained live animals, clever voice characterizations and a big dash of muppetry from Henson's Creature Shop, Babe and his barnyard friends not only walk the walk and trot the trot, they also talk the talk.

Rated: 3.5/4

Babe is a delightful tale told with untold depths of joy and acceptance. It says that not only should you be accepted for who you are, you should be accepted regardless of what you choose to do or who you choose to be.

Rated: 4/4

I cry every time I watch Babe. It's a cute, feel-good, talking animals movie and who doesn't love James Cromwell.

Babe is a heartwarming family film that combines endearing characters with a delightful story. The film's unique blend of live-action and animatronic animals brings the farmyard world to life in a charming and believable way. With its positive messages about friendship and determination, Babe is a timeless classic that appeals to both children and adults.

The perfect children's movie. Just dark enough and just fantastical enough to spark imaginations.
