I have to say I'm not a fan of the whole 'sappy happy kids movie', but when given the chance to watch one, I don't turn it down. Babe is a good movie, with generous effects and a whimsical story to entertain the kids. the story sets up simply enough - a small piglet, befriended by the sheepdog mother on the farm, begins to learn what life is like through a series of conflicts. The movie is colorful, playful, and friendly, with lots of cute little things to amuse you. The life lessons are also very effective - those little things, like how to triumph over the odds stacked against you. I recommend this movie for every one in the family. Even if you're a sullen teenager who thinks talking animals is stupid, you'll certainly be able to identify with the characters and their various struggles.
