What’s the name of the farmer who trains Babe?
Ever see a grown man dance in his kitchen at midnight to cheer up a pig? That's the kind of weird charm that made "Babe" special. Most talking animal movies go straight to video, but this one racked up seven Oscar nominations and had everyone quoting a farmer who barely said anything. What was the farmer's name?
▼
Correct Answer: Arthur Hoggett
Cromwell played Arthur Hoggett, the farmer who won Babe in a guess-the-weight contest and ended up teaching a pig to herd sheep. The actor actually fell so in love with his time roleplaying as an animal caretaker, he went vegan shortly after filming and became an animal rights activist. His famous line "That'll do, pig" became such a cultural touchstone that people still use it today, even if they've never set foot on a farm.
