Babe was quite a big hit upon its initial release and I rewatched recently and it holds up fairly well. The talking farm animals concept still works and this film is not trying to be overly clever like many subsequent films of the type can't seem to resist being. No clever dialogue here but just a wholesome story, simply told. The look of the film is still good and Babe has maintained many of his charms through the years. As for the humans, they all play their parts well and collectively come together to create a sunny, cohesive world that is enjoyable to spend a little time in. In the end a solid family film.
