The lost sequel and prequel- Babe: Pig at Warp Speed (1996)

[fanfican]

A Note on the Drama...

I know a lot of you have asked me to comment on the current controversy that's taken over our fandom's little corner of the internet. While I (and most of the other Babe writers I know) do not consider Babe: Pig in the City to be canonical, I understand that some fans like it even better than the original film. I don't agree, but I understand. That said, I feel obligated to vehemently condemn anyone who agrees with the opinion shared by *~PigTales~* alleging that Farmer Hoggett financially abuses his wife Esme. I cannot comprehend how some people out there (including writers I have respected for YEARS) can truly believe that Farmer Hoggett's accident (and resultant injury) when he was trying to fix the farm's well was somehow intentional and calculated. I don't think there is any evidence in either film to demonstrate that Farmer Hoggett would risk his farm and his own health in order to traumatize his wife. Then again, maybe I shouldn't be surprised...many of these fans are the same ones who suggested he was "gaslighting" her in the first film when he didn't tell her about Babe's unique abilities before the televised sheep-herding competition. There is so much nuance in the Hoggetts' relationship that is being ignored by these folks. Ultimately, this work is predominantly a Sky/Rex story (with Sky/Ferdinand as endgame), but I will not cave to the demands of *~PigTales~* and her supporters--Farmer Hoggett/Esme Hoggett will remain a background pairing.

You know that scene where Farmer Hoggett is singing to Babe? I want to write that type of thing with Murtagh and little Thorn.

Evening Prayer - 14 Apr 2024

At the end of the movie Babe, James Cromwell’s character looks at Babe and says, “That’ll do pig. That’ll do.” That’s how I’m feeling tonight, God, with me playing the pig and you playing Farmer Hoggett. It was a good day and I did what was important, and I’m feeling like you are looking at me saying, “That’ll do, Jeff. That’ll do.” Thanks for that. Amen.

Babe (1995)

Entertaining anthropomorphic farmyard shenanigans that were way more fun than I expected. I’d read the book (obvs) but some years before. Babe la-la-la-ing Jingle Bells is possibly the most joyous cinematic moment I can think of. I have watched that clip on youtube a hundred times. This quaint British farmyard children’s book adaptation was filmed in Australia and made by George Miller, who directed the Mad Max and Happy Feet movies as well as the sequel Babe: Pig in the City (1998) but for some reason, he didn’t sit in the director’s chair for this one. 

I never understood why they named the film Babe instead of The Sheep Pig. Dick King-Smith’s title is pretty self explanatory and the word Babe on its own could refer to all sorts of content. One change I can get behind however is that Farmer Hoggett’s James Cromwell decided to become a vegetarian after he made this film, as well as many young people in the audience. If you don’t believe me, google The Babe Vegetarians or The Babe Effect. Perhaps this was what saved us from a trilogy that violently ended with Babe 3: He’s Back. Sorry, I couldn’t stop thinking about the Bacon connection.

Weekend Top Ten #556

Top Ten Couples Costume Ideas for Halloween

Well, it’s that time of the year again! Time to hang up flimsy plastic spiders, Sellotape spooky messages to the door, and spend the GDP of a small Eastern European nation on Haribo and Cadbury’s Heroes. It’s Halloween!

I do love a bit of Halloween, mostly because I like any excuse to dress up. Unfortunately I don’t really get much of an excuse to dress up nowadays. My kids do: they get to do the whole trick-or-treating thing. But I don’t get invited to many Halloween parties, and I always worry that walking around with my kids whilst dressed as one of the weird Nazi demons from American Werewolf in London might feel like it was trying a bit too hard. Or maybe I’m too self-conscious. Who knows?

In my day – by which, I mean, when I was a kid – Halloween was already very popular, but nowhere near what it is now. We’d all dress up, of course, but generally speaking in very cheap vinyl capes and plastic masks, looking like a parade of tiny Draclears. Today’s costumes are much more elaborate and, in many cases, genuinely very good. Kids also, I think, like to put in the effort to make their costumes individual; my eldest is crafting her own Death costume this year (by which I mean the Grim Reaper, not Death of the Endless or anything; she’s not quite got round to Sandman just yet). And often People will want to complain about the Americanisation of Halloween, of us importing what is on some level a colonial interpretation of a pagan holiday. But sod that, it’s cool to dress up, sweets taste nice, and carving pumpkins is fun. But one of the big things that’s happened as time has moved on and, I’d argue, the influence of America has grown, is that it’s more common for people to dress up as stuff that’s not scary.

Halloween was always a ghosts-and-goblins, spooky kind of thing. This is reflected in most media: Halloween specials are creepy and kooky affairs. Films from The Nightmare Before Christmas to Hocus Pocus to Casper to The Addams Family all hew very closely to stereotypical depictions of all things grisly and macabre. But what’s probably the earliest representation of “American Halloween” that I came across also illustrates the desire to just dress up as whatever you want which is becoming more prevalent over here too: I mean, of course, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The famous Halloween scene there has cowboys and Yodas and, well, terrorists in amongst the ghouls and zombies and everything else. All of pop culture, all of human history, is fair game now it seems. And that’s been the biggest import over the last thirty years I’d say; dressing up as something Not Scary.

With this in mind, I present some ideas for those still young enough or cool enough or popular enough or awake enough to be invited to a Halloween party. Ideas that aren’t necessarily scary or creepy or ghoulish. But costumes that would be fun! And what’s even more fun than just plain old dressing up is dressing up in pairs. Matching costumes! How cool is that? I did this once, funnily enough; not for Halloween, though, we were just invited to a costume party. My now-wife and I went as Robin Hood and Maid Marian. I walked through Newcastle town centre in tights. At night. I got cat-called by a bunch of Geordie women. I survived, and despite not having had the opportunity to get dolled up in something ridiculous since, it’s not put me off. I’ve been thinking long and hard about what else it’d be amusing to dress as. Which is what I present to you now! A bunch of suggestions of costumes for couples with a better social life than me. I mean, it’s gotta be more original than Gomez and Morticia, right?

Farmer Hoggett and Babe from Babe: one person wears mutton chops, wellies, and a flat cap; the other, presumably, a pink onesie. The romantic connotations of it are best left unexplored, however. That’ll do, pig.

Max Shreck and the Ice Princess from Batman Returns: whilst they don’t really have that much direct contact in the film, who could resist an excuse to dress up as Christopher Walken, with his crazy hair and lush coats? Meanwhile, the Princess could have a bloodied batarang sticking out of her chest. Now let’s go bring joy to the masses!

Anthony Hopkins’ Corky and Fats the dummy from Magic: look, there has to be some horror here, and what’s creepier than a ventriloquist’s dummy? Channelling pre-Lambs Hopkins, with his dowdy jumpers and dodgy hair, is possibly easier than looking like a terrifying and possibly possessed wooden puppet.

Lord Flashheart and “Bob” from Blackadder II: who wouldn’t want to dress as Rik Mayall? All pelvic thrusts and entendres that are less doubled than halved (I think that’s how it works, right? Anyway, he’s filthy). Bob – aka Kate – is a funny recurring character who blurs gender lines, and this episode ends with her in britches and Flashheart in a dress. Perfect!

Gonzo and Camilla the Chicken from The Muppets: sometimes you have to offer up a proper couple for the romantics among us, and what could be more romantic than a hook-nosed alien-weirdo-whatever and his chicken bride? Just don’t ask if he’s a leg or a breast man.

Cat and the fish-headed lady from Red Dwarf: veering into the realms of the needs-a-bit-of-explanation, one person is Danny John Jules’ Cat – hopefully recognisable – and the other is the mermaid he hooks up with in the episode “Better Than Life”, who’s human on the bottom half and fish on the top half, because that makes more sense. Best not to think too hard about it.

Nanny Plum and the Wise Old Elf from Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom: couple goals! Pre-school’s favourite bickering pair of old-timers are back, making a triumphant return to my Top Ten lists after, well, ages, basically. No tricks or jokes here, just a dry, sarcastic fairy and an exasperated elf. Try not to make a jelly flood.

Jacques and Mindy from The Simpsons: okay, so this might be getting too niche. Jacques was Marge’s bowling instructor, Mindy worked with Homer at the power plant; both were set up as temptation for our heroes, but – of course – nothing can ever really come between Homer and Marge. So what better, for Halloween, than a couple cosplaying as a pair of adulterous temptresses?

The Tenth Doctor and the Fourteenth Doctor from Doctor Who: spoiler alert? I guess? If you’ve somehow managed to avoid the news being, well, everywhere. All you need is a brown suit and a blue suit and two different pairs of Converse, and you’re good to (I don’t want to) go! What?!

Arcee and Daniel Witwicky from The Transformers: it’s not a list if it’s not got a Transformer somewhere, and short of doing actual couples or, like, Blackrock and Circuit Breaker (Google them), what about this – a romantic couple comprised of a big pink robot lady and the small boy who turns into her head? Actually, y’know what; this one’s too creepy even for me. Maybe stick with Powerglide and Astoria.

Protest gegen "Starbucks" Schauspieler Cromwell klebt sich an Theke fest 11.05.2022, 11:41 Uhr James Cromwell ist ein verdienter Hollywood-Star, der auch eine Oscar-Nominierung bereits in der Tasche hat. Doch der Schauspieler ist auch überzeugter Veganer. Im Rahmen einer Protestaktion gegen "Starbucks" greift er nun zu einem brachialen Mittel. Schauspieler James Cromwell ist seit den 90er-Jahren bekennender Veganer. Im Rahmen einer Aktion der Tierrechtsorganisation Peta hat er nun für jede Menge Aufsehen gesorgt. Der 82-Jährige klebte sich in einer New Yorker "Starbucks"-Filiale gemeinsam mit anderen Aktivisten an einer Theke fest. Damit wollten er und seine Mitstreiterinnen und Mitstreiter gegen die Preiserhöhung von Milchersatzprodukten protestieren. "Milchfreie Produkte auf der ganzen Welt ... in Frankreich gibt es diese Sachen ohne Zusatzkosten. Dafür wird nichts extra verlangt. Hier gibt es eine exorbitante Gebühr", beschwerte sich der 82-Jährige dem US-Portal "Deadline" zufolge während der Aktion. "Warum bietet man weiterhin Milchprodukte an, wenn es jetzt so wichtig ist, auf den Klimawandel hinzuweisen und die Gewalt gegen Tiere zu verstehen? Es steckt kein Grund dahinter, außer Gier", schimpfte der Schauspieler weiter. Cromwells Protest währte jedoch nur kurz. Schon nach 30 Minuten soll die Polizei die Aktion aufgelöst haben. Wie genau Cromwell von der Theke gelöst wurde, ist nicht bekannt. An seinen Händen seien jedoch Überreste des Klebstoffes zu sehen gewesen, schreibt "Deadline". Oscar-Nominierung für "Ein Schweinchen namens Babe" James Cromwell ist bereits seit 1974 Vegetarier. 1995 spielte er den Farmer Arthur Hoggett in "Ein Schweinchen namens Babe" und wurde für einen Oscar als "Bester Nebendarsteller" nominiert. Während der Dreharbeiten wurde er dann zum Veganer. Cromwell ist aus zahlreichen Film- und Fernsehproduktionen bekannt. So war er etwa auch in Erfolgsstreifen wie "The Green Mile" (1999), "I, Robot" (2004) oder "Spider-Man 3" (2007) zu sehen. In Serien wie "Raumschiff Enterprise - Das nächste Jahrhundert" (1990 - 1993), "Hör mal, wer da hämmert" (1994), "American Horror Story" (2012 - 2013) oder "Murder in the First" (2014 - 2015) bekleidete er ebenfalls Rollen.
