Story Synopsis

Based on the book The Sheep-Pig, By Dick King-Smith, Babe is a delightful fable that is filled with fun and laughter. When Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell) wins Babe (voice by Christine Cavanaugh) in a raffle, he sees more in the little pig than just Christmas dinner. At his fairytale farm, Babe finds it difficult to stay within the order of animal life because of his admiration of his surrogate sheepdog mother. When Babe helps rescue Farmer Hoggett’s sheep from thieves, the old man gives him a chance at herding—and is shocked by Babe’s performance. Braving the authorities and ridicule, Hoggett enters Babe into the championship sheepdog trials and, with great dignity, Babe brings pride and excitement to all.
