Reviews for Babe
Top CriticThis reviewer for one, hasn't been able to face a pork chop in the months since, and is still laughing at the vibrant joyousness of this delicious comic fable.

Top CriticIt's enough to turn you vegetarian.
05/13/08
It has a surprising charm.
05/13/08
Australian director Chris Noonan and producer George Miller show what real talent and imagination can do, even without big-name humans as costars.
05/13/08
The characters (both animal and human) are solidly conceived, and the storytelling and visuals are expertly fashioned.

Babe provides a stunning revisionist take on barnyard politics, and may change the whole way we view pigs politically.
05/13/08
This Australian-made movie has a darker edge than most American kiddie films, but a perfectly contrived happy ending should soothe juvenile sensibilities. Adults, meanwhile, may find themselves enthralled.
05/13/08
A dazzling family entertainment with enormous charm that utilizes breathtaking technical innovation.

Top CriticIts seemingly effortless synthesis of humor and pathos [is] almost as wonderful as is its ability to capture the sense of awe and fear that attends youth's initial exposure to the big wide world.

This enchanting, cleverly made fable, brings freshness and charm to the premise of talking animals. A sleeper, the picture was nominated for 7 Oscars, including Best Picture, winning one for Visual Effects.
