The Sheep-Pig

Content Ratings

No Romance

There is no romantic content; relationships are based on adopted family bonds between animals.

Light Themes

Babe is an orphan who must find his place on the farm and prove his worth; themes of adoption, kindness as strength, and challenging expectations are central; the tone is warm and ultimately triumphant.

Mild Violence

Babe's mother is taken to slaughter; this is handled matter-of-factly within the farm setting; predators threaten sheep; violence is realistic within a farm context but not graphic.

Synopsis

An orphaned piglet named Babe is adopted by a sheepdog named Fly and learns to herd sheep by asking them politely rather than bossing them around, eventually becoming a champion sheep-pig. A charming, funny story about kindness, innovation, and being true to oneself. The basis for the beloved film Babe.
