Fireflies: Babe
Part of Fireflies, a family-friendly film series.
Winner of the 1996 Oscar for Best Visual Effects and nominated for six others, including Best Picture and Best Director, there's no better way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this childhood classic than by sharing it with the next generation! Babe follows a young piglet, aptly named Babe, who is having trouble finding his place on Farmer Hoggett’s (James Cromwell) farm. After being adopted by a Border Collie named Fly (Miriam Margolyes) and her cranky partner Rex (Hugo Weaving), Babe discovers that he is also great at herding sheep. With the rest of the farm animals reluctant to accept Babe, he must choose whether to fit in or disrupt the social order to follow his calling.
"The all-time great talking-pig movie, a lovely, intelligent gem of G-rated entertainment that is also rib-tickling funny."—Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle.
