Introducing a barnyard full of captivating characters unlike any you've ever met! There's Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell); Fly, the sheep dog; Rex, her shepherding partner; Ferdinand, the quacky duck; Maa, the elderly ewe; and the most unusual Yorkshire piglet. It's a delightful story the whole family will love! Filled with fun and laughter, Babe is an instant classic.
The surprise hit of 1995, this splendidly entertaining family film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture, director, and screenplay, and deservedly won the Oscar for its subtly ingenious visual effects. Babe is all about the title character, a heroic little pig who's been taken in by the friendly farmer Hoggett (Oscar nominee James Cromwell), who senses that he and the pig share "a common destiny." Babe is adopted by the resident border collie and raised as a puppy, befriended by Ferdinand the duck (who thinks he's a rooster), and saves the day as a champion "sheep-pig." Filled with a supporting cast of talking barnyard animals and a chorus of singing mice, this frequently hilarious, visually imaginative movie has already taken its place as a family classic with timeless appeal.
