Babe 1995<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director Chris Noonan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starring James Cromwell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #475<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"268776-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewed September 9, 2016<\/p>\n

Grade: B<\/strong><\/p>\n

Babe (1995) is a cute, charming family film about a pig who becomes a hero while living on a farm with a family of other animals and a farmer and his wife.<\/p>\n

It is not a risky film from a story perspective- any doubts about a happy ending?- though here are props for some visual creativity.<\/p>\n

And let’s face it- the film is sweet and heartwarming with not a mean bone in its body.<\/p>\n

The film is an inspirational one, nice for kids no doubt, and the visual effects, i.e. how they edited the animal movements with voices successfully are well done and not tacky.<\/p>\n

The film is predictable and harmless and I’m not sure I agree with the Best Picture or Best Supporting Actor (for James Cromwell) nominations it garnered, but it was enjoyable all the same.<\/p>\n
