This was such an adorable movie! Babe is so cute, although I must say, the word butt heads was used, and there was a little highlight of violence. I give it a four star review.

Wow. Is everyone here desensitized to violence & scariness? Watched too much television & think this is mild in comparison? I haven't watched television in over a decade, & maybe it's made me naive, but sheesh! My 4.5-year-old was totally freaked out by this film. He hated it. It was WAY too violent & scary for him. And I'm vegan, & he's a vegetarian, & I've previously made him aware of what farms are about . . . & this STILL freaked him out. Going by comments from parents on this & other, similar boards, I rented this movie, thinking there were two or three intense scenes & that the rest of it would be cute & funny. Well, it is basically nonstop action, violence, & fright, with two or three cute, funny scenes. He and I watched some of it together, & then he made me turn it off . . . I watched the rest of it after he went to bed; that's the only way I know that it was just more of the same. Guess I'll just have to screen it myself next time; I can't go by what's on these boards.

I've never met anyone who didn't enjoy this heartwarming tale of a pig who is nurtured by a mother-figure border collie and thus, thinks that he too should be herding sheep. The animals "talk" to one another and the topic of stereotypes and discrimination/bias are handled in a positive way. The issue of animals being bred to be eaten is present but could only disturb the most sensitive of very young viewers. There is a brief scene of animal poaching but it is not violent. There is a shotgun present in a scene where the farmer considers slaughtering the pig but again, no violence. This film leaves you feeling good and presents many positive themes for kids. (The scene with the duck -- who thinks he's a rooster -- trying to make off with the alarm clock is too cute!) Good for young kids but also entertaining for adults.

i love this movie so much.its amazing and cute.one of my fave movies.its really not violent

Cute but not excessively cute portrayal of animals. Kids may miss some of the nuance but they still get the point. The under 3s may be upset that Babe could get eaten or be scared when the dogs attack the sheep. Some kids may also have trouble understanding the farmer's accent the first time thru but they'll get used to it. When my 5 yo allows my husband to pick the movie, this is always his first choice. Read the book to your preschooler too. The movie follows the story line quite well and it's a good early chapter book. Skip Pig in the City tho - too dark.

I totally forgot what it is about but I know it was a good movie, so whatever I rate, I'm not sure if it would really be that.

The first of two movies-this one is clearly a great example of family friendly entertainment. It is a truly unique creation and communicates good lasting values. A caution for those 3 and under - some sequences may be violent and dark so you will need to be there to explain what's happening.

i loved this movie its soooooo good for little great movie WATCH THIS MOVIE
