THAT’LL DO, PIG. THAT’LL DO.

A young pig fights convention to become a sheep dog – or, rather, sheep pig – in this charming Australian family film, which became an unexpected international success due to superior special effects and a thoughtful and heartwarming script.
After being separated from his family, a confused (and adorable) pig named Babe gets adopted by a friendly dog. Discovering that the fate of most pigs is the dinner table, Babe devotes himself to becoming a useful member of the farm by trying to learn how to herd sheep, despite the skepticism of the other animals and the kindly but conventional Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell). Despite its unlikely premise and low profile, BABE’s inspirational story was embraced by audiences and critics, and the movie became an international sleeper that won an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.
