This charming, talking-animals comedy was a bit hit in its day, but more recent work like "Toy Story" or, most relevantly, "Chicken Run", has moved the genre of films for children that can also appeal to adults forward. "Babe", a straightforwardly sweet story, is not loaded with cleverness like those films; and the voices of the animals are relatively dull. But the special effects work nicely, and it's honest enough to make no bones about what happens to animals in the end. Best of all is the climax, hilarious for all ages.
