Based on a book named ''The Sheep-Pig'' by [[Dick King-Smith]], ''[[Babe]]'' is the story of a little piglet ("Babe" to the other animals he encounters and "Pig" to all the humans -- [[Fridge Brilliance|including the narrator]]) that gets plucked from his life as future dinner to become a prize at a fair, ending up on the farm of sheep rancher Mr. Hoggett. His ranch is quirky already, and taking in Babe, cared for by his sheepdog Fly, only makes things stranger.
As it turns out, Babe is a kind and trusting sort that quickly befriends most of the farm, and uses his friendship to become an effective sheep herder. From there, Farmer Hoggett decides, instead of using Babe as a featured part of the dinner table, to use the little pig to actually compete in sheep dog trials.
Line 51:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Babe is a "babe" i.e, "baby" because of his naivety. Rex and Duchess because of their rank and place in the farm's hierarchy.
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Mrs. Hoggett.
* [[Parental Bonus]]: A particularly eyebrow raising one, again care of Ferdinand, this time describing his attempts to take over the rooster's role:
