Content Ratings

No Romance
There is no romantic content; relationships are based on adopted family bonds between animals.
Light Themes
Babe must find his place and prove his worth; themes of kindness, adoption, and challenging expectations are central; the tone is warm and triumphant.
Mild Violence
Babe's mother is taken to slaughter; violence is realistic within a farm context but not graphic.
Synopsis
