Chris Noonan (2) (1952–)

There are some lovely cameos of family life that provide, if not humour, at least a lighter side to the story. And some humour, too.

Renée Zellweger plays a believable Beatrix Potter, with a more than passable upper-middle class English accent. She is portrayed as uncertain and awkward in so many ways, yet supremely gifted in her art and storytelling. The other characters mattered less, yet most the cast felt real, and overall we were captivated by this true story.

Definitely show more recommended.

Truly delightful but fantastic film about barnyard animals and a pig who takes over the sheepdog role by communication rather than intimidation. The farmer and his wife are excellently casted. But the pig steals the show.

Babe, a pig raised by sheepdogs, learns to herd sheep with a little help from Farmer Hoggett.

The story of Beatrix Potter, the author of the beloved and best-selling children's book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", and her struggle for love, happiness, and success.
Rated PG for brief mild language
