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.

OH MY CHILDHOOD :')

@mad-matty 4 years ago

This was the first film I ever saw at the cinema. The fact that it was released in 1995 surprised me because I was only 2 years old when I saw it. Yet I remember seeing it for the first time vividly. I remember what coat I was wearing and Mum telling me to "take it off or you won't feel the benefit."
I remember there was one sad moment in the film which I cried at and that must have been when the dogs attacked the sheep and it dies. After watching it for a second time today on Netflix (I can be very modern at times!) I began to realise that my love and affection for animals and veggie views all stem from this film. I may have been only 2 but this film made me aware that some animals are on farms only to be eaten and throughout all my early life, I apparently said to my parents "What animal am I eating now?"

When I was 9 or 10 years old, I used to read a few books by Dick King-Smith, the writer of "The Sheep Pig" which this film was based on. And I have recently ordered some more books by the author to read again, including this one.

Despite the tragic sheep death scene I really enjoyed this film. While it is always a tragedy to know the eventual fate of farm animals, something which I can never turn a blind eye to, I genuinely found it a heartwarming and at times quite a funny film. I will look forward to jumping back through the pages of Dick King-Smith's work and I will definitely buy this film on DVD (perhaps not always so modern) because it is one I will happily watch many times. I can't recommend it enough.

It has easily been twenty years since I have seen this film, and it was almost exactly how I remember it! While it will never be one of my favorite childhood films, it was super cute and one I will look to revisit with my kid eventually.

That was a lot darker than I remember.

One of the cutest pig movies ever made. Memorable and genuinely sweet, with a pig character that made you care. Not the best writing, but wins with heart.

Considering the genre & the target audience, it was good.
