- Andrew BMarch 24, 2026This might be a perfect film even all these years later. I remember seeing this in the theater as a child with my family. Not for the first time I watched it with my own child who, by the end of it, was cheering on the series of events in the film. I think at 11 years old she thought she was too old to enjoy it. However, I’m 40 and there are moments that bring tears to my eyes. “Babe” is all-time classic that must continue to be shared by families for generations. Five. Stars.
- ርልዪረNovember 5, 2025There are classics, and then there are masterpieces. This film has always been embarrassingly underrated since the moment I saw it. Easily one of the most creative fairytales if it isn't one, every character from Hoggett and his understanding of his animals to three mice that sit between chapters/acts. For those wanting star power, Hugo Weaving is a sheepdog! This film is perfect, do yourself a favor and don't miss this gem.
