Gordy Soundtrack

Gordy, the kooky adventures of a modest little piglet that could, had the bad luck to go snout-to-snout with powerhouse porker Babe and became the "other" talking-pig movie of 1995. Pure-of-heart Gordy is a modest little guy who never loses sight of his mission--to find his lost family--as he confounds the pig-napping conspiracies of a sneering villain and his bumbling henchmen and becomes a corporate spokes-pig, media darling, country music maven, and national hero! Directed by eccentric documentarian Mark Lewis (Cane Toads: An Unnatural History), this oddball family comedy lacks the storybook images and polished grace of Babe, but it has its own goofy, cartoonishly exaggerated charm. While the shadowy threat of the dungeonlike slaughterhouse may be too intense for the very young, no pigs are harmed and happy endings are guaranteed for all. --Sean Axmaker
