The 1995 movie Babe is the definition of the ‘little movie that could’ trope.
“It was this film about a pig and the animals talked and I thought, you know, they’re gonna put peanut butter in their mouths.
Making Babe was a collaboration between first-time director Chris Noonan and George Miller, of Mad Max fame, who had written the script alongside Noonan and was also a producer.
The adults are in this picture, they’re seeing this picture from the point of view of the animals, the pig.”
