George Miller's Babe: Pig in the City (1998)

When Babe and Mrs. Hoggett are separated, he takes his mission to save the farm to the streets of the city. There he meets up with some major new challenges in the form of animals the likes of which he's never seen before — including a pit bull and a pink poodle — not to mention the authorities who want to impound all the animals. The city takes a lot out of our hero but he has the moral support of the three singing mice and Ferdinand the Duck, who has managed to follow him with a lift from a pelican.

Babe again comes across a great moral exemplar of kindness. He always sees the good in others. He is generous and self-sacrificing. You just gotta love him. However Babe has a definite tinge of self-defeating-ness; he naively walks into the most dangerous situations and never suspect people would want to harm him. He’s really self-sacrificing; making his own life unimportant to save the lives of the other animals; a true martyr!

Classification of Babe’s ‘character’: Oldham’s Self Sacrificing Style, Claudio Naranjo’s type E4 (masochistic subtype)
