Trivia:
The talking pig is a combination of 48 real Yorkshire pigs plus an animatronic double. A makeup artist added toupee and eyelashes to each, and computer digitization manipulated pictures of the snout to make the pig appear to talk. moreGoofs:
Continuity: At the beginning of Babe's competition, Farmer Hogget removes the leash which then reappears and disappears in subsequent shots. moreQuotes:
Old Ewe: We've got something here that might be of use to our pig.Sheep, Sheep, Sheep: Password! Password!
Old Ewe: Before we gives you anything, wolf, you'll be making us a solemn, promise.
Rex the Male Sheepdog: Yes?
Sheep: Treat us civil!
Old Ewe: Yes, you gotta treat us nice-like.
Rex the Male Sheepdog: I'll try.
Sheep: No biting!
Old Ewe: That's right, wolf must avoid biting us sheep at all costs.
Rex the Male Sheepdog: Alright, I'll try that too. I'll try.

An extremely quirky film that you won't mind watching with the kids. Not full of sappy platitudes, this strange little tale of a pig that wants to be a sheep dog is extremely effective in it's message without hitting you in the head with it. No doubt because it wasn't made in Hollywood... we Americans have never been good at telling children's stories without being condescending and heavy-handed with the moral message.
The story takes place in some fairy tale amalgam of all the rural cultures of the English-speaking world - Sometimes it seems like England, other times Kansas, Australia, New Zealand, it's really never anywhere particular. The acting is superb, the animatronics are unrecognizable as such, and James Cromwell is superb as the taciturn farmer willing to give the little pig a chance.
