Babe – a classic!

Babe, is a 1995 family friendly movie about a little piglet and his remarkable life on a farm in New South Wales, Australia. After watching the CNN documentary about nuclear power and the Wolverine's newest venture, I was happy to find this movie on the Starz channel. The movie had me smiling the entire time. The animals are charming and unique characters. The dialogue is believable. The farmer and his wife are priceless. The story is well-written and superbly acted – I believe the late Jim Henson was in charge of much of the puppetry. There certainly is a moral to the story, but it doesn't smash you over the head – it creeps up on you slowly and subtly. If you have not watched this movie, and you have small children in your life, please take the time to rent it and watch it together... All I can say is, "that 'll do pig, that 'll do."
