Babe is a little pig who doesn't quite know his place in the world. With a bunch of odd friends, like Ferdinand the duck who thinks he is a rooster and Fly the dog he calls mum, Babe realises that he has the makings to become the greatest sheep pig of all time, and Farmer Hoggett knows it.

Who doesnt like a bit of Camille Saint-Saëns and his rousing third symphony to get a movie going? Its the ideal start to this entertaining story that reminded me a little of the Charlottes Web tale of farmyard antics. Its the runt of the litter who is destined for the farmers table - via a raffle - but Hoggett (James Cromwell) senses that Pig might be more useful out of the oven than in it! That might be because this young critter is an inherent friend-maker. He chats with the geese, the cattle, the horses and even Ma - the cranky ewe-in-chief. Indeed its that very skill that alerts the farmer to some rustlers and makes him realise that this could be the worlds first ever porcine flock-herder. With his wife (Magda Szubanski) soon to go on a...
