“That’ll do pig. That’ll do.”

Gentle farmer Arthur Hoggett (James Cromwell) wins a piglet named Babe (Christine Cavanaugh) at a county fair. Narrowly escaping his fate as Christmas dinner when Farmer Hoggett decides to show him at the next fair, Babe bonds with motherly border collie Fly (Miriam Margolyes) and discovers that he too can herd sheep. But will the other farm animals, including Fly’s jealous husband Rex, accept a pig who doesn’t conform to the farm’s social hierarchy?

“Here’s the summer’s sleeper for kids and their parents, a terrific picture that takes a lot of risks and makes them all pay off in a charming story about a pig who fancies himself a sheepdog — or sheep-pig.” (Gene Siskel)

“If only people would be more like these animals, the world, though hardly saner, would certainly be a lot more fun.” (Los Angeles Times)

“It’s a clever, witty, touching piece of work that, coincidentally enough, is also a decidedly excellent date movie. Really.” (Austin Chronicle)
