Reply to comment by darkuen in What's the best feel-good climax to a movie? by acharismaticjeweller

That whole ending segment is so insanely well put together. The way the crowd starts out laughing at them, then how they go completely silent, and Babe does his thing in near total silence...then it's over and the crowd goes fucking apeshit, and Farmer Hoggett gets to share his iconic line with Babe.

It’s one of my favorite movies, I particularly love the narration at the end.

“And so it was that in all the celebration, in all the hubbub of noise and excitement, there were two figures who stood silent and still… side by side.

And though every single human in the stands or in the commentary boxes was at a complete loss for words, the man, who in his life had uttered fewer words than any of them… knew exactly what to say.”
