I have this movie for years on own videotape only to say I don't know whether I've seen it before or after the sequel "Pig in the City" which I like more.
Title character is pig left with no family heart bleeds for him (given voice performance as with Chuckie Finster of Rugrats) and being adopted by Fly the sheepdog who's got her loving side and her yelling sometimes I laugh at. Other sheepdog Rex (voiced by Hugo Weaving) is one I didn't like for his initial stern aggressive behaviour, and that cat is unlikeable. James Cromwell gives a good performance as farmer Arthur Hoggett. And Babe's friend Ferdinand the duck is source of comic relief.
This movie has its very heartbreaking or emotional moments from Fly's pups sold away to dogs attacked sheep and killed one which Babe nearly and wrongly got penalty for it.
And the ending credits If I Had Words sung by the mice is hard to listen to without getting upset - just like hearing Sarah McLachlan's singing in Jessie's backstory of Toy Story 2 movie.
Regardless what anyone says, I have to admit that I prefer the sequel more than this movie.
