message: I can't believe that no-one has put this in.
I'm watching Shrek I, and at 33:30, when Shrek has finished forcing Donkey across a rickety rope bridge, he says "That'll do Donkey. That'll do."
This is a direct allusion to the point in Babe where Hogget says "That'll do, Pig. That'll do."
Further research...all right, Google search...shows that Gilmore Girls had an episode titled "That'll Do Pig" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0588198/)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nuaho (talk • contribs) 04:31, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You can't believe it, because they don't belong.  Unless you add a third-party citation noting the connection to Babe, it's original research, and thus will be deleted. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 13:21, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Add "In Popular Culture" to Babe? 

message: BRIAN OVERTON: Hi. I own the Babe DVD. It's from 1997-1998. I got it at the Hollywood Video in 1498 Metropolitan Ave that is closing. The box says 1998 but the disc says 1997. Put the 1997-1998 DVD in the list of releases on the Babe article. Pleez.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.119.71 (talk) 19:14, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Where is the source that some of the animals were animatronic. If no one can give proof of this I will take this off. trainfan01  —Preceding undated comment added 01:54, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a cite for an animatronic pig being used, and I see no sign in history of a popular culture section, so I'm afraid I can't answer that question. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:40, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  animatronic 

message: I have re-worded the following info
"Babe is a 1995 family film that tells the story of a pig who wants to be a sheepdog" to "Babe is a 1995 family film that tells the story of pig of the same name. In this film Babe wants to be a sheepdog."
The first one is too short while the second one explains it better.

message: The pig is held at, and first meets Farmer Hoggett, a Lions Club booth at the fair.  The fair's location is not mentioned, but the booth itself is specifically established.  I have inserted this fact of the movie but it was removed.  What was the reason for removing this?
:How is the fact that it's a Lions Club booth relevant to the plot? Would the film be any different if it was a Masonic Lodge booth, or an Elks Club booth, or a Rotary Club booth? Detail in the Plot section should be limited to what's needed to understand the film. Doniago (talk) 13:56, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You're making a better argument for removing the items you bring up from the Plot summary than you are for including the Lions Club. Directors do many things with their films, many of them are not important to the plot. Assuming an element is important without specific evidence from reliable sources constitutes original research, and makes the item inappropriate for inclusion in the article. Please stop adding this material unless you can provide a better argument for how it is essential to understanding the film's plot, you appear to be edit warring. Doniago (talk) 15:02, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

text: The article is improved by removing information irrelevant to understanding the plot from the Plot section. Does that answer your question? Additionally, it's not EW when multiple editors agree that edits are inappropriate. I am not the only person who reversed your addition. Doniago (talk) 16:33, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lions Club Booth 

message: Nowhere in the movie, nor credits, is "Australian Cattle Dog" mentioned and there is no credible source to which a reference of the dog's breed used being tied to the movie.  The reference to the Australian Cattle Dog was removed and changed to simply "dog" because it is not relevant to the plot.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Southern Forester (talk • contribs) 23:52, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Australian Cattle Dog reference removed. 

message: Were separate versions released with Australian accents and American accents, or was it released worldwide with the "overdubbing" of American accents? The article seems kind of ambiguous regarding this and it would be nice to make it clearer if anyone knows.  -- Dougie WII (talk) 10:21, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A production decision was taken early on not to locate the film in any specific country or area, and the use of accents reflects this. The actors mostly use their own accents which are a mixture of American, Australian and British. The production design similarly mixes images of American, Australian and British small farm rural life. This works surprisingly well. The article could do with a Production section covering this sort of stuff, but I don't have the knowledge to add it. --Ef80 (talk) 15:37, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

text: No, it doesn't work at all.  What we have is an English book made into a film in Australia.  The setting looks more or less English; but of course due to Coca-Colonisation, mostly actors from an irrelevant country (the US) are chosen so that poor little American moviegoers won't judge the film to be foreign and thus unwatchable.  It's American culture being viral, in the worst possible sense of the term.  Correctrix (talk) 08:30, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Does the last paragraph in the reception section really need to be included? It's without source, is poorly written, and is speculative and full of OR.70.248.186.47 (talk) 05:45, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reception 

message: This article needs a proper soundtrack section.  The recent anon. edits were an attempt in that direction, but had too much trivial information, and was not formatted properly.  Such a section is needed, though, and we should discuss that here, rather than on user talkpages. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 17:08, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: As you've been putting it back into place, I've dragged the track listing out of my archive and stuck it in one of my sandboxes (here, in fact). If you want to bring it up to scratch and add it, feel free.  drewmunn  talk  19:50, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

text: As you mentioned IMDb, I should point out that it's not considered a reliable source. Happy editing. Doniago (talk) 05:29, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

text: I've removed a couple of items that were added regarding songs that play during the movie. Without third-party sourcing this constitutes trivia. It may also be worth reviewing WP:IPC. Happy editing. Doniago (talk) 20:09, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
