When Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell) brings Babe to his farm, the two know they share a common destiny. But fulfilling that destiny proves to be tricky for Babe, who faces a jaded world soured by prejudice. Complete with a Greek chorus of mice, cantankerous sheep and a neurotic duck, Babe teaches us that by believing in yourself and respecting others, you can truly achieve the impossible.
