An old childhood favorite of mine, "Babe" is a delight for the eye, heart, and spirit. It's the story about a pig who lives his dream--and saves his life--by learning to herd sheep. It takes place on Farmer Hoggett's small farm, a picturesque ideal of country life. The screenplay is witty without being cynical and tender without being soppy. Babe treats all species as friends, while the animals show a great deal of prejudice against each other and him. The movie makes clear the way respect gets passed on by those who receive it.
See, even a cute little pig has a thing or two to each us about family, and how it can affect us.
