THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This film is based on the book The Sheep Pig by Dick King-Smith.
• Yorkshire pigs grow too fast to be able to be use one pig throughout the shooting. In fact 48 real pigs played the part of Babe throughout the movie. Each of the pigs had a toupee fashioned to the top of their heads and fake eyelashes put on to help make the pigs all look the same. In addition there was also an animatronic double that was used for some of the scenes as well.
• There was nearly 1000 live animals used during the filming of this movie, and as a result 56 animal trainers were needed on set to keep the animals in place.
