In children's cinema, not everything will be animation. Also the real action movies, with actors and characters of flesh and blood can also enjoy and much. With 'Babe, the brave little pig' we find this type of movie, with real scenarios, but above all with a little pig as the protagonist, accompanied by others farm animals, which will surely arouse the attention of the smallest of the house.
It is a story endearing in which, by resorting to real animals as protagonists, it is very suitable to entertain children. It's just the hook, because in reality 'Babe, the brave little pig' is more than that, it is a very funny and, above all, exciting movie.
This family film was directed in 1995 by Chris Noonan, who adapts a novel where a little pig is believed to be a sheepdog. An Australian production that conquered the box office at the time (I recognize that I went to see it twice at the cinema) and also managed to seven Oscar nominations from Hollywood.
What counts
The story focuses on Babe, a little orphan pig which arrives at the Hoggett farm, where a group of animals live pleasantly. Each one has his task and Babe is taken care of by the Fly dog, with which the young Babe ends up thinking that it is also a dog and acts as such.
At first he is mocked and all the members of the farm take him for crazy, but Babe has a huge heart, much effort and willpower and ends up surprising everyone with their skills.
And so much effort has its reward, because to the amazement of many, Babe is enrolled in an important tournament of shepherd dogs Where it demonstrates its qualities.
We like it because ...
In addition to Babe and the rest of the farm animals being very well presented and their interaction is extremely realistic, the story presents us with how effort, companionship and good heart you can win the love and esteem of all.
Babe, is an orphan pig that finds his new family on the farm. And even though he seems to live his own identity crisis, shows that he has a great heart and helps everyone, immediately becoming an endearing member for everyone and indispensable. Not only for his qualities directing cattle, but also for his kindness and good feelings.
'Babe, the brave little pig' is a film very well narrated from the start and is passed in a sigh. The presentation of each and every one of the animals on the farm, their owners and the history in an idyllic and rural environment are very emotional. Especially how well all the characters are defined and, especially, Babe, the protagonist.
Values transmitted by 'Babe, the brave little pig'
As I have already advanced, the fact of feeling orphaned and being integrated into a very diverse new family is a hard time for the protagonist, but with support (especially from the Fly dog), understanding and a lot of self-esteem, ends up integrating.
He sweetie that Babe earns is based on good feelings, of offering his support, of fellowship and above all, always full of enthusiasm, energy and goodness.
Another of the values that the film distills is the good education and manners. Babe manages to conquer the sheep and direct them like a great shepherd dog precisely because he always treats them with delicacy, with understanding (something that the veteran Maa sheep discovers, in front of the savages that dogs usually behave).
Recommended from 4 years
The fact that animals appear as protagonists and in such an environment to capture the attention of children as a farm, makes the film very attractive even for children of two and three years.
Although being a film of long duration and with a story with many characters, it is more suitable for children from four years Until twelve. Of course, it is ideal to see as a family, because it has a lot of rhythm, it is very entertaining and especially with a character like Babe, absolutely adorable and endearing. If you have not seen it yet, you can look for it in a DVD edition, because it is really worth it. It is a jewel.
