Amazon.co.uk Review
The surprise hit of 1995, this splendidly entertaining family film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture, director, and screenplay, and deservedly won the Oscar for its subtly ingenious visual effects. Babe is all about the title character, a heroic little pig who's been taken in by the friendly farmer Hoggett (Oscar nominee James Cromwell), who senses that he and the pig share "a common destiny." Babe, a popular mischief-maker the Australian farm, is adopted by the resident border collie and raised as a puppy, befriended by Ferdinand the duck (who thinks he's a cockerel), and saves the day as a champion "sheep-pig." Filled with a supporting cast of talking barnyard animals and a chorus of singing mice (courtesy of computer enhancements and clever animatronics), this frequently hilarious, visually imaginative movie has already taken its place as a family classic with timeless appeal. --Jeff Shannon

Format:DVD
My daughter was seven when we watched this together and I think we both enjoyed it equally; and though I could not have watched it again as many times as she did over the next few months, I have certainly seen it at least twice since. How wonderful to have a film for any age group to enjoy. An enormous amount of care and thought has gone into making this and it shows. Its very funny, engaging, no awful mangled accents to struggle with, and the sound track is lovely - especially the mice!

I love this movie so much - Babe tenderly appeals to all ages and fights the good fight for animal rights without being too pushy/dark/in your face (like the second film)... ever since I saw this movie I haven't been able to even think of eating any pork product - no lie!! A wonderfully touching classic for all time.

Perfect!
Arrived on time as promised efficient service. Kids loved it especially my 7 year old who had just read the Sheep Pig, the book on which the film was based.
