Additional InformationA little pig with big dreams teaches himself to be a sheepdog in this marvelous fantasy based on Dick King-Smith's children's novel THE SHEEP-PIG. When an old farmer wins a piglet at a carnival by guessing its weight, be brings the little oinker home. At first, Babe feels confused and lonely. But a maternal collie, who just delivered her own litter, welcomes Babe into her family, and teaches him about farm life. Soon the precious pig proves that he can be a pretty valuable asset to the farmer and his wife--in a most unexpected way. Special effects allow the entire menagerie of farm animals to speak throughout this magical live-action tale.

ReviewsNew Yorker - a comedy of animal manners that is much funnier and much cannier than any recent movie about human relationships: a lovely, stubbornly idiosyncratic fable of aspiration and survival., Premiere - "...Utterly charming..." - Recommended, Entertainment Weekly - "...It's inspiring what real talent, imagination, and style can do..." -- Rating: A, USA Today - "...[BABE] is in a league of its own when it comes to enchantment....Beautifully shot in Australia, Babe gives off a cozy, old-fashioned feel..." -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars, Variety - ...Dazzling family entertainment with enormous charm and utilizing breathtaking technical innovation...
