Son of Babes

About This Movie

So, 'Son of Babes' is this quirky slice-of-life gem that takes a candid look at the lives of LDS children through the lens of T.C. Christensen's unique storytelling. The pacing is pretty breezy, which suits the lighthearted and often humorous situations the kids find themselves in. The performances feel genuine, capturing that innocent charm of childhood, while also touching on some deeper themes of faith and family. It's one of those films where the practical effects just feel right for the era, adding to its overall authenticity. There’s something about the way it portrays everyday moments that makes it distinctly relatable, even decades later.

This title has a bit of a mixed history in the collector space. Initially released on VHS, it later made its way to DVD with the remastered version, 'Mouths of Babes.' The remaster has sparked renewed interest among collectors, but the original format still holds its allure, especially for those who appreciate the film's nostalgic feel. While not extremely scarce, finding quality prints can be a bit of a hunt, so there's a certain thrill in tracking down a good copy.
