Title: Brilliant Film, but what about the full picture?
Review: Babe is the only series of films that through playing the theme song I actually start tearing up. The first one is simple, and so meaningful. Every moment is crafted to stick in a persons head forever, and that makes the film that much more precious. Everything about this DVD is excellent, but what I ask is, where is the WIDESCREEN VERSION! The images in this film are so meticulously crafted, depths of fields are perfect, composition is subtle, but it really matters. Everything about this movie is quite brilliant, but the DVD is lacking the original filmmakes vision to it's fullest extent. Yes buy this film, because it is the best of the available editions of it, but be prepared when half a sheep in the foreground is cut off, or when Babe and His Owner walk onto the field at the end, and it doesn't seem half as big as when you saw it at the movie theatre, and therefore far less imposing. And I give it a 4 out of 5 because of that alone.
Is the review positive or negative?
