If you are a parent looking to watch this with your kid, I would recommend this.
I think the movie does a good job of showing the child what are some responsibilities of having a pet, if it desperately wants one.
The family is also vegan, or vegetarian I'm not quite sure, so if you are one I'd say it portrays them okay I guess. There some typical sayings such as "Eating meat is barbaric", so take it how you will.
The story is quite good as well, maybe a bit too twisted, the grandpa gifted the pig to the girl so she could raise it, so that he could later use in his sausages to win a contest.
Overall a solid film for a family to watch, especially if you are from the Netherlands, I see very few stop motion films from there so it's always nice to hear another language.

A good children's movie
Male traumas in children story
All essential male characters are bad or a unuseful loser.
The story and voice acting is good. The animation and level of detail is superb.
Also it's nice to see a setting in Holland. Most jokes are flat and cliche though.
For children it's a very nice film.
Heartwarming story and beautifully made.
Babs gets a pig from her long gone granddad but her mother is not happy about it so Babs decided to get the pig to a puppy class.
I went to this movie as an adult because it's a beautifully made stop motion animation. Lighting is gorgeous as well. The story was moving too, I teared up during the puppy course and some scenes were really funny. The final scene reminded me of Wallace and Gromit.
Although I'm vegan, I'm afraid the overall message (don't eat animals) is brought a little too blunt and might put off some parents. Still the movie is a wonderful heartwarming story that tries to make the world a better place.
