Babe - Pig In The City

Babe Family Double Feature

'Babe' is an enchanting tale about a piglet, who's trained to be an ace sheepdog, and so gets saved from the slaughterhouse. Though, this film's sequel, 'Pig In The City', was probably even better.

The talking animals animatronics are delightful, and the human actors endearing.

As a vegetarian, I'd like to think this film would put off people eating bacon for life, but people are too selfish!
