Sounds like this could be cute. Is this going to be traditional 2D animation or 3D/CGI?

Neither, it's going to be live action

Seriously? Ugh.

yup, seriously - they are planning to use the latest "mouth movement" technology, some of which you have already seen on commercials and will see in the new Underdog movie (also live action), to make the animals talking look as realistic as possible.

I thought the two Babe movies wore that out.
