How in the name of all that is good and holy, did this masterpiece get rated a 6.8?! "Babe" is a gem of a film; the story is original and beautifully adapted from its source material. The acting (both the physcial and voices) is wonderful, the effects are fantastic. It's heartfelt, charming and funny. It's light, with moments of darkness, and is humble, incredibly charming and very genuine. What a brilliant film. The rating system on here baffles me. 10/10.

p.s. Like I said above, I'm aware that "Babe" is based on Dick King-Smith's children's book, "The Sheep Pig." What I meant was that the story King-Smith wrote is original and clever in itself. Noonan and Miller took that story, and refined it, turning it into something wonderful.

I think it's a magnificent film, and I've rated it highly. Why some people rate thing low I cannot say, but it is a fact that there are lots of people who lack taste in all sorts of things; books, music, cars, whatever.

This film really changed, or rather reinforced, my view of animals. I've always liked animals, but this film tends to give them an even more human quality so that we can contemplate them as living creatures, and not just "things" that have some features that we have.

Yeah I know, it definitely should be a higher rating. When it first came out it had originally been on the IMDB top 250 with a very high rating, so it wasn't always under rated. I think it just experienced major back lash. 6.8 isn't actually all that bad, it's a pretty decent rating, but I don't think this movie is deserving of it. I think it deserves to have a rating of at least 7.0-7.5. I love this movie
