Deservedly acclaimed as one of 1998's best films, this sequel to the beloved 1995 live-action fantasy proved a commercial catastrophe and a source of dismay to parents expecting another bucolic, sweet-natured fable. Every bit as sly and visually stu… more »



Narrator:
At any other time, the pig would've been tickled pink by his first visit to the sheep fields. But now, there was fear in the air. Maa and her kind were under threat.

[Babe wriggles through the fence and runs across the field to join the frantic sheep. Woolly flanks press against him as the sheep are herded toward the truck]

Sheep Rustler:
Hey, Frank, feel like pork for dinner tonight?

Maa:
Young'un! You're alive!

[Babe recognizes his old friend]

Babe:
Maa! What's going on? Who are these men?

Frank:
I'll get him out. Come around, Sniff!

[None of the animals know much about Men. Then naturally, they can't even imagine what a sheep rustler is. Babe decides to ask the strange dog why his masters are taking Hoggett's flock. But instead of responding, the dog nips the pig's tail]

Babe:
Where's our boss? It doesn't seem right.

[Babe runs for dear life, with the dog barking and snapping at his heels. He wriggles back through the fence and runs squealing louder to the farmhouse]

[The Hoggetts' granddaughter opens her last Christmas present in a greedy excitement to reveal the beautiful, extravagant, ultra-realistic handcrafted dollhouse her maternal grandfather, Arthur, made for her, unexpectedly lets out a loud, anguished shriek]

Mrs. Esme Cordelia Hoggett:
[upon seeing her granddaughter disheartened] What's wrong, dear?

The Hoggetts' granddaughter:
[complaining and sobbing] It's the wrong one! [shrieking tearfully as we see Arthur smirking at his granddaughter's tantrum, trying not to laugh] I WANT THE HOUSE I SAW ON THE TELEVISION!!

[We see see the Hoggetts' daughter chuckling and grinning at her daughter's tantrum as Esme sympathetically gives her granddaughter a hug as she starts consoling her]

Mrs. Esme Cordelia Hoggett:
Oh, there, there. [We see Fly and Rex past the fireplace. Fly watches this scene with pity in her eyes as if to say "Poor little tyke", but Rex lays down on the floor, looking away without showing any care or worry about his owners' granddaughter]

[Mr. Hoggett sees Fly's ears perk up at the sound. She starts barking. Something is wrong. The farmer races away in his truck. The dogs run across the fields]

[Rex reaches the other truck first. It is yet empty. The thieves hit the tailgate shut and smash through the fence at top speed]

[Rex is yet barking until Fly and Hoggett arrive. They are followed by an exhausted Babe. Hoggett pats Fly's head]

Farmer Hoggett:
Nice dog.

[Fly jumps into the truck bed. Then the farmer lifts Babe up behind her]

Farmer Hoggett:
Nice pig.

[That night, it is all over the farm that Mr. Hoggett thinks Babe is a watch-pig. Rex sulks because he hasn't heard Babe first. But Fly beams as she licks Babe's wounded tail]

Fly:
I'm very proud of you, my boy.

Babe:
I'm going to be a nice sheepdog if I grow up, aren't I?

Fly:
None of my pups would have done any better than you did so today.
