Babe is fully an entertaining film, where the lead role is played by a pig. He talks and lives with other animals, in the farm of a man, who rears animals as his livelihood. The man also manages sheepdogs, who takes active role in bringing the sheeps into their home from grazing. Babe dreams of becoming a sheepdog, as there were competition held for sheepdogs along with their masters. The only positive trait that babe possess is that of humility, respect and kindness, a loveable and emotional characteristics is bought to life in the form of a pig. Due to that he succeeds in winning the hearts of his fellow farm animals and does the unthinkable in the end. Yes, he takes the place of a sheepdog and becomes the winner in the competition. The film may not seem realistic but is entertaining with lots of fun and comic themes.
The film has two perspective going parallely, one is human-animal dealings where animals stay dumb with respect to man. Other is animal animal dealing where they speak with one another. It actually implies the personification of animals, as if they live with the same type of rational spirit, it is of course ambiguous but still may be true or may not be true. But it's made like it connect right with our emotions. It's a lovable film watchable with family.
The owner even once tries to consume babe out of desperation, but out of sensibility, decides not to. Babe seems as if, in turn brings him the prize and respect in the competition. The film shows us in an imaginative way how the animal world works, a kinda similar to man's, how animals are trustworthy when given love and care. It is one of those films which shows the positive sides of an animal farm. Personally, I too oppose animal harassment, support animal rights.
The film is funny, positive, a bit metaphorical too in the sense where animals are personified as sensible beings, marked by serene narratives and avoids all sorts of violence. Though it's a bit fantasy themed, I liked the film, really liked it and still in my memory. For its entertaining value it's an 8/10. A 79 on a scale of 100.
