Jeff Millar

Although it's set in the present, Babe has the feel of something that's been around a long time - a story that's been passed from generation to generation.

The Hollywood Reporter

Duane Byrge

Packing this simple story with plenty of sage wisdom, screenwriters George Miller and Chris Noonan have created a cheerful, quirky and utterly glorious scenario.

In the end, "Babe" reaches a nice level of tongue-in-cheek humor. At the outset, however, it suffers from a cloying cuteness, after the runt pig is separated from his sow...

Thanks to clever filmmaking, impressive animal training, life-like animatronic stand-ins, and digital manipulation of mouths (to match dialogue) the animals contribute one of the best ensemble performances of the year.

"Babe" is something of a marvel in terms of special effects; the talking-animal trick is accomplished so naturally that you eventually stop paying attention to it.
