I love this movie. Adorable and accessible to children, and yet it has so much to say. Absolutely perfect family fare.

It charmed the pants off me. The mice were kind of annoying, but I really loved all the other characters. Through a combination of expert animal training and seamless computer animation, you really feel like these creatures are PERFORMING. The script keeps it simple without putting the animals into absurd scenarios. Cromwell and Szubanski are wonderful as well, and the film gorgeously highlights the lush Australian countryside. An absolute delight, one that warmed my heart and choked me up.

At the end there's two guys who hi-five each other in the crowd. I've never understood why they did that.

This movie is much better than it has any right to be. Such simple children's fare should not be this well made and certainly not this well produced. Babe is more than just fun for children, it will genuinely entertain the entire family and win over all but the staunchest of skeptics.

While some adults may be turned off to the idea of watching a family-friendly comedy starring talking animals, Babe features a timeless story, universal themes, notable cinematography, and Oscar-worthy special effects.

If Hans Christian Andersen came back from the dead and decided to make a movie, if would probably look a lot like this. Pure-hearted joy and old-school fairytale charm has rarely - if ever - been captured more touching on celluloid than here. That'll do for a perfect score, pig. That'll do.

The rare family-friendly feature with a heart as big as its special effects budget, Babe offers timeless entertainment for viewers of all ages.

One of the most surprisingly entertaining movies ever. Who would have thought that a movie about talking animals would be so good? I was entertained as a child and I still think it's very solid. The mix of puppetry, CGI, and actual animals is uncanny and the story, while certainly a family story, manages to get a little dark at times and even keep the stakes really high for a majority of its runtime. It's just really well shot and the story is very relatable. One of the best of its genre.

Through some cosmic mistake, Babe is a really good movie. And I don't mean it's a good movie considering it's about a talking pig, I mean it's legitimately a really good movie. The characters are fantastic (ironically, the animals have more humanity than some characters I've seen in other films), and the acting is great (voice acting and Cromwell alike). It's fun for both children and adults, which is what family films should aim for. Score is not a grade.

A lovely kids movie, cute and whimsical and the sort of light-hearted feel-good romp you vehemently pass off as nauseating even though it's more than on par with those nostalgic kid flicks you hold so dear to your heart.

I really have nothing bad to say about Babe. I loved it as a kid because of the talking animals, and I love it today because of how oddly endearing the whole thing is. This just might be James Cromwell's best performance.

Pros: Acting (human and animal), locations, cinematography, and story. Cons: May be too slow-paced for some. My favorite film. A rewarding experience with every new viewing. Cromwell is fantastic, the locations are beautiful, and Babe is a beautifully realized character. Full of warmth, humor, and love.

Gotta hand it to a kid's film that opens with the protagonist's mother being led to her death while it's played like dramatic irony.

Babe is an overwhelmingly cute and kiddy film with many enjoyable characters. James Cromwell is especially good as the farmer who owns all of the animals. Pretty good!
