Orphaned and alone, Babe finds himself on the Hoggett farm where he is adopted into an eccentric community of fellow talking animals. To avoid ending up on the dinner table, the young pig must prove himself worthy of something greater.
This groundbreaking live action film won hearts locally and internationally, scored by Nigel Westlake with a star performance by Magda Szubanski and voiced by the likes of Hugo Weaving and Miriam Margolyes. Australia’s highest grossing children’s film (and third highest overall) is a timeless, uplifting classic.
