Babe is a 1995 fantasy comedy-drama film directed by Chris Noonan, adapted from the 1983 English children's book The Sheep-Pig (also known in the United States as Babe, the Gallant Pig) by Dick King-Smith.It is the story of a little piglet ("Babe" to the other animals he encounters and "Pig" to all the humans — including the narrator) that gets plucked from his life as future bacon to become a prize at a fair, ending up on the sheep farm of one Arthur Hoggett (James Cromwell). The farm is quirky already, and taking in Babe — who's cared for by his "mother", the sheepdog Fly — only makes things stranger.As it turns out, Babe is a kind and trusting sort who quickly befriends most of the farm animals, and uses his friendship to become an effective sheep herder. From there, Farmer Hoggett decides that instead of making Babe a featured part of the dinner table, he'll enter the little pig in a sheepdog competition.While theoretically a children's movie, its offbeat charm and heartwarming (and remarkably Glurge-free) story made it a favorite amongst all ages. It even received seven Academy Award nominations including Best Picture, to the surprise of many... and the chagrin of the Academy, which made efforts to keep further "children's movies" from qualifying in the future. (Hello, Best Animated Picture category! Best Animated Picture says, "hi.")The film was followed by a 1998 sequel, Babe: Pig in the City.Not to be confused with Charlotte's Web, which also has a pig protagonist and most of the same thematic elements, but has an extra spider character, the eponymous Charlotte. Also not to be confused with The Babe.

 Babe / int_1439161f
comment
Rex's immediate reaction after he bites Mr. Hogget's hand for stopping the fight between him and Fly. Afterward he seems to go into a Heroic BSoD; even as Hoggett and the vet are acting like he's still dangerous and injecting him with sedatives, all he can do is lie there. However, at that point, it's not entirely clear whether Rex is subdued because of his sedation or just because he's still in shock.

The Runaway: Babe runs away from the farm after Duchess reveals to him that pigs are raised to be eaten. He's quickly found, though, and Hoggett comforts him with the song "If I Had Words." Ferdinand also leaves the farm after the female duck he liked is eaten, but eventually he comes back.

Green-Eyed Monster: This was one of the main reasons why Rex did not like Babe. Rex was a two-time sheepdog champion but had lost his hearing and therefore couldn't herd sheep as well as he used to. Then came Babe - a pig - who was able to do what he no longer could.

Urine Trouble: At the beginning, the young Babe is being offered in a "Guess the piglet's weight" contest; when Farmer Hoggett picks him up to get a feel for his weight, he lets fly with a stream of urine (which fortunately doesn't hit anybody). Hoggett's only reaction is to knock a few ounces off his guess.

Heel–Face Turn: Near the climax, Rex finally shows Babe some kindness after the latter's Heroic BSoD, and is later the one to seek out the password for him. Some of this potentially stems from his loyalty to Farmer Hoggett and/or finally recognizing how much Babe means to Fly, but he also seems genuinely happy at the end when Babe wins (especially noteworthy given that he'd been humiliated by Babe's success earlier in the movie).

Animal Talk: All animals can understand each other, though their understanding of humans is limited. Humans can't understand the animals at all. And yet, even though the different animals can understand one another, they're surprisingly bad at actually communicating with each other, especially dogs and sheep.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?
 Babe / int_8504b817
comment
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: It's not very clear where the Hoggett Farm and the rural town close to it are supposed to be; most of the Australian actors are doing Fake American accents while the American James Cromwell affects a vaguely English one. Compare this with the book The Sheep-Pig, which is explicitly set in the north of England. Maybe this was done so viewers could assume it could, indeed, be a rural region anywhere in the world.

The Corpse Stops Here
 Babe / int_9ce83619
comment
The Corpse Stops Here: Very nearly fatal to Babe; he's found next to the dead Maa, her throat ripped out, with blood on his snout. As pigs are omnivorous, that isn't an entirely unreasonable assumption for Farmer Hoggett to make, though the odds of a young piglet doing so are very dubious. He's only saved when Fly runs up and stops Hoggett from shooting Babe; moments later, Mrs. Hoggett runs up and reports the neighbors had just lost several lambs to wild dogs, clearing Babe.

Animal Athlete Loophole: There's no rule that says a pig can't compete in a sheepherding dog trial! In a trick of semantics the trial registration form merely requires "Name of Entry". The narrator says that had it been "Name of Dog", Farmer Hoggett would have been greatly troubled at the idea of being less than truthful.

My God, What Have I Done?: Rex's immediate reaction after he bites Mr. Hogget's hand for stopping the fight between him and Fly. Afterward he seems to go into a Heroic BSoD; even as Hoggett and the vet are acting like he's still dangerous and injecting him with sedatives, all he can do is lie there. However, at that point, it's not entirely clear whether Rex is subdued because of his sedation or just because he's still in shock. Hoggett has a "what did I almost do" version when he learns about the wild dogs and realizes he was about to kill Babe for no reason.

Esme, who has a large collection of trophies from those fairs, falls for the bait and suggests that they have duck instead.

Karma Houdini: Duchess gets nothing for having convinced Babe to run away from home, which causes him to come down with a serious illness that if not for Fly and Rex's quick actions might've been the end of him. The sheep rustlers manage to make off with dozens of members of Maa's herd before Farmer Hoggett can do anything to stop them. Perhaps the biggest ones are the dogs that maul Maa to death before being scared away by Babe. Although according to Mrs. Hoggett, the police are already aware of what they've been doing and alerting the locals to the danger they present.

Innocence Lost: For all the undesirable circumstances Babe has met with, including seeing his own mother herded away with the other sows when he was small, he still remains loving and idealistic, eventually finding his place in his new home and touching the others there in unexpected ways. His innocence is sadly tested when he witnesses the death of his friend Maa to a pack of wild dogs preying on her herd, and later when Duchess mocks him with the cruel reality of how the world views his kind. The revelation that his entire family likely met their end not in "pig paradise", but in slaughterhouses for food just like ducks very nearly sends him over the edge.

Innocent Inaccurate: The narration notes that pigs have come to believe that those pigs that disappear and are never seen again are taken to "pig paradise", a place so wonderful that they never want to go back. As is made clear to the audience, they're actually being taken to the slaughter. Later, Babe is completely unafraid of Farmer Hoggett's rifle because his only mental association with a device even remotely resembling it is the metal feeders that were used to feed the piglets after they were separated from their mothers. Fortunately, he never has to learn the truth about that one.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Both Fly and Rex get in on this trope at different points in the film—both time relating to the sheep, who are normally their mortal enemies. Fly manages to slowly and politely ask the panicking ewes what happened to Maa, which allows her to determine Babe's innocence in her death. Later, Rex also speaks to the sheep calmly and even promises to treat them with respect if they will give him the secret password that proves that someone is a friend to ewes.

Jerkass: Duchess the cat, who tries to scare Babe by convincing him that Hoggett's only playing sheep-pig with him until he gets a craving for bacon. All because Hoggett sent her outside for scratching Babe on the snout for no good reason other than just being in the house. Even cat-lovers wanted to give her a kick. Ferdinand for taking advantage of Babe's good nature, at least in the beginning.

Fantastic Caste System
 Babe / int_edcc813f
comment
Fantastic Caste System: The farm animals on Hoggett Farm have an unspoken hierarchy going as follows: Humans outrank animals (Hoggett is the "Boss"), then the two dogs Fly and Rex outrank everyone else, then you have the animals too valuable to be food (the old horse who pulls Hoggett's wagon and the mean housecat) then finally the animals that are eaten by humans (pigs, sheep, chickens). Unfortunately this means Babe is bottom-rung and few appreciate it when he gets ideas above his station.

A Dog Named "Dog": Farmer Hoggett calls Babe "Pig". Babe's mother called all her babies "Babe".

Kindhearted Cat Lover
 Babe / int_f9741356
comment
Kind Hearted Cat Lover: Mrs. Hoggett, the farmer's wife. While she seems fond of animals in general, she clearly has a lot of love for her cat, Duchess, and absolutely spoiled her. Too bad that said cat doesn't exactly take after her owner...

Shoo Out the Clowns: While Ferdinand leaving the farm isn't an immediate sign of things getting darker, it's telling that he doesn't return until the most dramatic part of the movie is over.

Gadgeteer Genius: Farmer Hoggett is a very understated, genteel example. He cobbles together an automatic opening/closing device for the farm's gate, and develops other gadgets around the farm as well. It's his uncanny ability to see purpose in things nobody else does that ends up saving Babe's life.
