...through snow or mud with two of her pupils, Homer and Percy McClarty. The three clung together for mutual comfort: she feared the farmyard geese that "hissed and nipped at my legs above my buttoned boots"; they feared the somber Blackfeet Indians, who fished in the Flathead River. The trio hurried along, since before every class Miss Blachly had to put all the lessons on the blackboard in her neat, round Palmer script for the students to copy-no one had a textbook...

Babe backs up Deitch and Adagala with an engaging ensemble. Patricia Hawkins is Garga's selfish, brightly brainless wife. Jim Shuman, Anthony Mowbray, and Lloyd Schwartz as Skinny, the Baboon and the Worm respectively are a trio of underworld figures who are funny yet always potentially dangerous. And I. M. Lamb as Garga's father is the most amazingly impotent old man ever to live off his children...
