BABE (1995) — 30th Anniversary!
April 27 : 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
“One of the five greatest family films ever made. Possibly the best. Pure magic.” – Daniel Fienberg
A talking-animal movie that’s not only not stupid but charming, witty, and utterly endearing? Thirty years ago, a little pig and his barnyard buddies proved it was possible! Based on Dick King-Smith’s novel The Sheep-Pig, BABE tells the story of gentle farmer Arthur Hoggett (James Cromwell) wins a piglet (Christine Cavanaugh) at a county fair. Narrowly escaping his fate as Christmas dinner when Farmer Hoggett decides to show him at the next fair, Babe bonds with motherly border collie Fly (Miriam Margolyes) and discovers that he too can herd sheep. But will the other farm animals, including Fly’s jealous husband Rex, accept a pig who doesn’t conform to the farm’s social hierarchy? The rare family film that never condescends to its audience, BABE was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and took home the Oscar for Best Visual Effects — rightfully so, considering the expressive, still-impressive way it makes talking barnyard critters look like the most natural thing in the world.
This screening is fully family-friendly! Come out early for a Porky Pig pre-show starting at 2:30 pm.
