    pig movie that came out this year but was a big flop. The movie came out before "Babe." Anybody know the answer? Thanks.

    Gordy was released the same year as Babe, IIRC?

    And flopped badly. The producer took out network time to scold the
    moviegoing public that if they weren't going to support such films,
    she would have to stop making them.

    Then along came Babe and swept the floor with Gordy.
