Babe

Babe is one of the single best family movies ever made, telling a story that’s relevant not only to the youngsters in the audience but adults as well, and telling its story with technical and prosaic excellence that earn the film a place of greatness.

Ernest & Celestine

While its animation and style would make for a great film on their own, Ernest & Celestine’s message of overcoming prejudices in order to forge bonds of friendship that lead to the cultivation of one another’s strengths makes it a film worthy of all-time great status.
