Talkin' Babe

Babe (1995)

For our season finale, we go from the garbage fire of The Dog Who Saved Easter to one of the most beautiful movies ever made. 

A simple movie about a pig trying to find his place in the world; about breaking stereotypes, and forging relationships; about eschewing the expectations placed upon you by the world,  extolling the virtues of kindness and respect.  A movie that needs no plot summary as it is the paragon of talking animal movies.

This time, we at Talkin' Talkin' Animals are legitimately pleased to present to you, our review and discussion of the 1995 classic: Babe.

Within this episode, such topics are discussed as:

• The sheer beauty of this movie
• How Garrett's going to hell
• James Cromwell's almost unbelievably badass life
• The surprisingly interwoven industries of New Zealand talent and voice actors
• Discrimination, dehumanization, and the concept of "otherness" as applied to animals
• Andy's Corner of commenting on the main (animal) character's phallus
• Kevins' daughters' questionable system of determining cinematic value
• Garrett does 6 degrees of separation linking disparate actors through Babe
• The gang plays several rounds of fuck-marry-kill with the animals from Babe and the rest of the talking animals this season
