This movie is cute and funny. Granted it is unrealistic but so what? It is a kids movie that all ages can enjoy.The pig is very cute as are the two kids. It has some very funny scenes with Gordy in costumes. It also has some good old country music. Boxcar Willy, Jim Stafford and Roy Clark and other country stars appear as themselves. It is a feel good movie with a happy ending. If you need profanity, nudity, sex,violence or rude and disrespectful kids in a movie in order to like it then skip Gordy. It has none of that. The only dirt in this movie is actual dirt on the pigs. Gordy is a good movie for those who like clean, lighthearted family entertainment.

The talking pig who made it big has got people here folks! He's just your average adorable little piglet, from a typical farm family. That is, until his family has been taken away! Now he's off on an epic search in the city to find them! Along the way, he makes friends with two kids, and saves one of them from drowning! Gordy becomes famous for his actions of heroism, and becomes the CEO of a business! Eventually, with all the fame Gordy has attracted, he gets his own stamp! Meanwhile, an unscrupulous business man tries to take on Gordy and get rid of him! His henchman are told to kidnap him, tie him in a sack, and toss him in the river! But with the help of his new friends, they all figure out where his family's been taken to (a slaughterhouse in Omaha). They go there and successfully shut the sinister slaughterhouse down once and for all! And in the end, Gordy and his friends and family all get to live together on the farm forever! This seems to be a love-it or hate-it type movie. But I loved it! A sweet story, cute characters, and a precious piglet! This is the most underrated movie ever! It's beautiful and proves that no matter how small you may be, you can always make a difference! And it's NOT a rip-off of Babe. They are just as good and just happen to share some similarities.UPDATE ON September 17: Actually, Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale is not a hobo's version of Gordy. It is an in name only mockbuster of Charlotte's Web which just so happened to be released three weeks and three days before the live-action version came out. So, what did they do? That's right, they copied the original animated masterpiece from 1973. Very loosely that is. Hence it's an in name only mockbuster. Also, I never knew South Park ripped off Gordy. And I already hate that show just like you do, for pretty much the same reasons. Look at my list entitled "The most overrated shows and movies ever" and you'll see my reasons why. And as far as I'm concerned, the real reason Gordy's a great gem of a movie is not because it's funny (although that contributes). No, the real reason it's wonderful is because of its heartwarming story (which is NOT charmless, it's adorable), its lovable characters (come on, you know Gordy's adorable), its wonderful moral messages (I've already touched on this in this review and the one on my other account), and it's just plain entertaining, wholesome family fun. I know a lot of people say it's too dark with the slaughterhouse, but what about Bambi? Or The Lion King? They both feature the death of the most important parent (in Bambi it's the mother, in Lion King it's Simba's father Mufasa). At least Gordy's parents don't die. This is actually one of the few Disney movies where the parents live. Which makes it a lot like Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Tangled, and Mulan. Also, Sleeping Beauty was dark too. And then there's people think this is rip-off of Babe, um, no it's not. Babe's not about a pig having to save his family, Gordy's not about a pig aspiring to become a sheepdog. They're different plots people! Plus Sleeping Beauty was A LOT like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, does that make it a rip-off too? And I already mentioned one reason why Lion King and Bambi are alike, but there's more. They both have the Circle of Life theme, they both have the protagonist as next in-line for the throne, they both have the antagonist kill the important parent, there's a fire in both movies, the hyenas assist Scar the same way Man is assisted by hunting dogs, they both have the protagonist fall in love with his childhood best friend, they both have epic battles (like when Scar fights Simba and Bambi fights Ronno), and they even both have the book ends trope! So yeah, you see what I mean? And yet NO ONE has accused Lion King as being a Bambi rip-off. Not that that's what I'm saying, but I'm saying they're more similar plot-wise than this is to Babe. And come on, even shows like Shake it Up and Dog with a Blog have higher ratings than Gordy. WHICH MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER! I already wrote a review of Dog with a Blog explaining why it's awful and SHOULD have been canceled after the first season like Marvin Marvin. But no, they just HAD to renew it for a season season AND a third. It better not last longer than four seasons! If Gordy was a TV show I bet it'd be rated just as high as Regular Show. OK, I'm done with this before I exceed the 1,000 word limit.

I sat down with my just turned 5 year old for "Family Movie Night" and we let him pick this off the free video on demand.Sure the kid loved it, but words cannot describe how awful this movie is. I would rather saw off my head with an electric toothbrush (modified of course) than to watch this movie again.There are so many parts of this movie that are just completely unbelievable, it makes you want to cry (Ignore the fact that the pig talks and humans can understand him....that's the most believable thing in the movie).During one scene, the kid and pig are walking down the road lost when all of the sudden the only people in the entire country that know them pass by them in their RV. Granted this is just some country road and the people in the RV are traveling all over the country singing.Another scene has the bad guys throwing a pig off a couple hundred feet bridge where Cousin Idiot is able to catch the pig in his arms down below without the other people noticing.The wealthy businessman dies and leaves his company to his young grandson. However, because his grandson is too young to run the company, he gives complete control to Gordy. Gordy is a f'ing pig mind you. The pig is then shown interviewed numerous times on stock market / business type shows where the host asks him a question and the pig snorts a few times in response.The entire plot seems like it was generated by some drawing board created by a 3 year old. I cannot imagine how this actually got funding to produce or how badly an actor needed a job to look at this script and say "Hell yes, sign me up."
