Babe 4K 1995 Ultra HD 2160p

This is a story about the adventures of a small, exceptionally intelligent Yorkshire piglet. All the animals on the Hogget farm have distinct personalities and communicate with each other in human language. The humans, of course, are completely unaware of this. When the owner begins to suspect something, he joins in the game, hoping to use the animals' newly discovered intelligence on the farm. The four-legged baby, the very same piglet raised by Fly the sheepdog, tries to prove that pigs are not only good for decorating the Christmas table (which is what it was all about), but are also capable of performing work that requires intelligence and quick wits — herding sheep. You can imagine how the sheep themselves feel about this idea! Not to mention the sheepdogs — what professional pride could withstand such a thing?

User Review

Contrary to popular belief, pigs are not rude and dirty animals, but very kind and even clean. Any pig owner will confirm this. Babe was a groundbreaking character for his time, as before him, talking animals appeared either in cartoons or were portrayed by human actors in feature films. Later, computer graphics made it possible to create Cats vs. Dogs and, in 2019, The Lion King, but Babe was the pioneer, and a very successful one at that: the film quickly recouped its costs at the box office, which is probably why the two films mentioned above were made.

Because the animals in Babe are real, they elicit the most sincere sympathy. Graphics were used only to show opening mouths, and it looks very good. 1995 was a breakthrough year for special effects creators, as the first Toy Story was also released that year. But Babe could have been overlooked if it weren't for its family-oriented theme. In the plot, the piglet finds a new family and new owners, to whom he shows off his extraordinary skills when the opportunity arises. The charm of the main character, as well as his selflessness, are unconditional advantages of the film, but there are also ideas in it that should have been abandoned. First and foremost is the image of the cat. Have you ever noticed that it is cats that turn out to be the villains in such stories? Cat lovers are outraged by this, and I am among them. Another nuance is a sore subject in American cinema—toilet humor. There is very little of it here, but it is still present. Who adds such repulsive scenes to films, and why, especially considering that moviegoers often eat popcorn in theaters? Particularly surprising is the farmer, who, at the moment of the accident, does not even try to understand the situation and, say, compare the teeth of the suspects. How stupid can a person be...

Despite the fact that the plot revolves around a piglet, the tagline of the film could be “In any case, look for the sheep,” since both the happiness and misfortune of the main character are connected with sheep. There is a certain charm in this, but there is also a drawback, since the climax turned out to be very far-fetched. It follows that the script justifies all sorts of blunders by hiding behind kindness, but it probably makes sense to take a closer look at the animals themselves and everything related to them. Some characters call dogs wolves. This may seem like hyperbole, but it is interesting that according to biological taxonomy, a dog is essentially a wolf. Slightly modified, but still a wolf. Many viewers will probably discover the existence of the Yorkshire pig breed, as well as competitions for the best herding dog, thanks to “Babe.” Residents of northern regions will also be surprised by the weather in the United States at Christmas.

No snow and lots of greenery — that's what the South is all about!
