Babe
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.
Chris Noonan's adaptation of the Dick King-Smith novel pulls off the trickiest live-action premise in family cinema (talking farm animals, played straight) by combining real animals, animatronics, and dialogue dubbed with absolute conviction. James Cromwell's Farmer Hoggett barely speaks and gets the famous 'That'll do, pig' line. G at 92 minutes; one of the great family films of the 90s, fine from age 5+.
