You might notice a bit of stutter at times with the footage of Babe. There was some weird issues with processing the movie during the editing process.

Love the movie, it is still awesome and just adorable

@JoeyF: It'll do Joey, It'll do.

Also, I love the new intros and outros! Outtakes are always good

For people having issues watching the videos, if you're a Whiskey Member and use chrome, you can use the html5 Theater to watch the video, its what I did.

Not working for me. Also the website just died.

Not working for me either. None of the videos on the site are. Tried different browsers to no avail. I'm on a mac though so maybe that's the issue?

Same here.  Not working.  Using a mac might be the problem.  No clue.

I'm on windows and still having problems. Looks like the CSS has died.

I can't view the video (Like the rest of you ;_;), but I can't say I enjoyed Babe. I it's one of those films that I just don't like and I can't out my finger on why.
JammyJesuson June 22, 2011 at 1:36 p.m.

I love Babe. It holds a special place in my heart as it was the first film I went to see in a cinema.

Dig Deeper into Babe

This is getting ridiculous.

Did Rorie say Australian family? Mind = Blown.

I often find it flat out offensive when people don't give this movie it's props. I cried more during this film than possibly any other when I first saw it and I found myself mortified by the idea that a movie about talking animals struck me as more human and generally emotional than something like Saving Private Ryan or American History X. This movie is dam good and simple. Case closed.

@skywing: Yeah, I always thought they were British, but apparently the book this is based on was Australian.

MrMazzon June 22, 2011 at 2:46 p.m.

That'll do Rorie That'll do.

I had no idea this was set in Australia I always thought they were like british

Ah The Sheep-Pig my least favourite of Dick King-Smith's pig books.

Sitoxityon June 22, 2011 at 3:26 p.m.

Is there anything better than Rorie talking about things that are adorable?

I do like Babe as a movie, never actually sat through the second one though, and not seen Babe for a good few years now. Just looking at the footage in this video, I'm kinda surprised it was made 15 years ago, it really holds up well.
