Babe
(a.k.a. "Babe, the Gallant Pig")

Australia/US (1995): Children's/Comedy/Fantasy

The surprise hit of 1995, this splendidly entertaining family film is all about the title character, a heroic little pig who's been taken in by the friendly farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell), who senses that he and the pig share "a common destiny." Babe, a popular mischief-maker on 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 rooster), 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.
