Babe is no ordinary pig - having been brought up alongside collies on the Hoggett Farm, he's mastered all the arts of the sheepdog, sparing him the mysterious fate of his relatives. But he's not the only animal in the barnyard with a personality: Ferdinand the duck wants to be a rooster, and Rex the sheepdog doesn't like sheep. As well as being fantastic entertainment with its cast of talking animals, there's a subtly delivered message to this delightful movie about not simply accepting your apparent role in life.

Babe


Synopsis

Based on the British novel ‘The Sheep-Pig’ this gentle and heartwarming drama begins with an adorable piglet being separated from his mother and ending up at a cosy farm full of other animals, all of whom know their job and their role in the wider world. Given the name ‘Babe’, the little piglet tries his hardest to fit in but, after seeing the farm dogs at work, he becomes fascinated by their talent for sheepherding. His ambition of becoming a world-class sheepherder is met with resistance by Farmer Hogget, the sheepdogs and all the other animals but Babe is not deterred and he sets out to prove everyone wrong. A talking-animal film that pulls the heartstrings and inspires hope, Babe is a story about pushing back against prejudice and striving to accomplish your dreams, whatever they may be.
