Themes

Clean/Unclean

This movie is, on the surface, about life on a sheep farm. The central character is Babe, a pig. This movie explores the prejudices we all have towards people that are not like us through delightful encounters with all sorts of farm animals. Babe breaks the boundaries of stereotypes and challenges the other animals to do so as well. (Amy Southerland)

Good Shepherd

Babe is the good shepherd figure. The sheep come to know his voice because he genuinely cares for them. He also takes time to learn their language. Christ seems to communicate thus to us, in languages and ways that are unique to us and in a genuine love for us. (Edie Bird/Mark Thomas)

Redemption

Narrator: "This is a tale about an unprejudiced heart, and how it changed our valley forever. There was a time not so long ago when pigs were afforded no respect, except by other pigs; they lived their whole lives in a cruel and sunless world. In those days pigs believed that the sooner they grew large and fat, the sooner they'd be taken into Pig Paradise, a place so wonderful that no pig had ever thought to come back."
