Summary
A piglet named Babe is left orphaned after his mother is slaughtered .The winning farmer, Arthur Hogget, brings him home and allows him to stay with a Border Collie named Fly, her mate, Rex, and their puppies in the barn.
An eccentric duck named Ferdinand poses as a rooster to spare himself from being eaten and wakes the farm each morning by crowing. He persuades Babe to help him destroy the alarm clock that threatens his secret mission. when Fly's puppies are put up for sale, Babe asks if he can call her "Mom".
Arthur sees Babe sort the hens, separating the brown ones from the white ones. Impressed, he takes him to the fields and allows him to try and herd the sheep. Encouraged by an elder ewe named Ma whom he had met previously on the farm.
One morning, Babe is awakened by the sheep's cries and sees three feral dogs attacking them. Despite managing to scare them off, Ma is mortally injured and dies as a result. Arthur arrives, thinking that Babe killed her because he has blood on his snout when he had nuzzled her, prepares to shoot him for doing so. Fly is so anxious to find out whether he is guilty or innocent that, instead of barking orders at the sheep, talks to them to find out what happened. They tell her that he is innocent and saved them. Until Esme mentions that the police say feral dogs have been killing sheep on neighboring farms, whereupon he realizes that Babe was innocent.
Arthur signs Babe up for a local sheepherding competition. Later, at the competition, Babe meets the sheep that he will be herding, but they ignore his attempts to speak to them. As Arthur is criticized by the bemused judges and ridiculed by the public for using a pig instead of a dog, Rex quickly runs back to the farm to ask the sheep what to do. They give him a secret password ("Baa-ram-ewe"]), first extracting a promise from him that he will treat them better from now on. He returns in time and conveys the password to Babe. When he recites it to the sheep, they follow his instructions flawlessly and he is wildly acclaimed by the crowd and unanimously given the highest score.
