Short description

Babe is a little pig who doesn't quite know his place in the world. With a bunch of odd friends, like Ferdinand the duck who thinks he is a rooster and Fly the dog he calls mum, Babe realises that he has the makings to become the greatest sheep pig of all time, and Farmer Hogget knows it. With the help of the sheep dogs, Babe learns that a pig can be anything that he wants to be.

What's left behind the scenes

The talking piglet is the result of a combination of 48 real Yorkshire piglets plus an animatronic double.
The large number of piglets required for the role of Babe was due to the fact that piglets grow very quickly.
Each of the piglets was made up accordingly to look like the same piglet. The basis of the makeup was false bristles and eyelashes.
The author of the original book "Babe: The Gallant Pig" is Dick King-Smith (born 1922) – a British farmer. He published his first book when he was already 57 years old.
In the finale of the original theatrical release of the film, after the end credits, field mice reappeared and said: “Thank you for staying with us until the end.” This final appearance of the mice was removed from the television and video versions of the film.
Dick King-Smith (b. 1922), the author of the original book 'Babe: The Sheep-Pig', is a British farmer. He published his first book when he was already 57 years old.
The talking piglet was the result of a combination of 48 real Yorkshire piglets plus an animatronic double.
Such a large number of piglets were needed for the role of Tiny because piglets grow very quickly.
Each piglet was appropriately made up to look like the same piglet. The makeup consisted primarily of prosthetic bristles and eyelashes.
The effect of the talking piglet was achieved through computer processing of digital images of the piglets' snouts.
In total, nearly 1,000 animals and 56 trainers participated in the filming of the movie.
