It's rather comforting to think that a polite pig can find his place in the world after all.
Cinemas
Babe is a little pig who doesn't quite know his place in the world. With a bunch of odd friends, like Ferdinand the duck who thinks he is a rooster and Fly the dog he calls mum, Babe realises that he has the makings to become the greatest sheep pig of all time, and Farmer Hoggett knows it. With the help of the sheep dogs, Babe learns that a pig can be anything that he wants to be.

I love the little pig!!! A perfect, incredibly endearing family comedy about kindness! A feat of puppeteering and visual effects! Babe waddled so Paddington could run! This movie is like a TV series with a thousand little genres in it- there’s a heist movie, there’s a coming of age story, there’s a mystery movie, and it ends with a sports movie. What a miracle that they all work!Absolutely enamored with this movie. The comedy off of the puppeteering alone is funnier than many of the movies I’ve seen in the last month or so. I’ll watch a sheep or duck puppet do anything for a full two hours, I think. I almost named my dog Pig and I would’ve teared up through the final sequence of this if I did. Instead, I named him Clooney and hugged him tightly every time Fly came on the screen because he looks a lot like her. :) He’s farting at my feet right now. :) God, he farts so much. :) That’ll do, Clooney. :)
