Many pigs have made it in Hollywood, in books and in other ways. Here's
the place where I honour some of these Famous Pigs.
Miss Piggy made
her debut on The Muppet Show in 1976. She's a glamourous pig who
is desparately in love with Kermit the Frog. She loves lots of sparkly
jewelery and feather boas.

Babe is a pig who was created by Dick King-Smith in his book,
"The Sheep Pig." Babe is a young pig who is won by a farmer and who learns
to herd sheep by being kind to them. The book was made into a movie in
August 1995 called "Babe", and was honoured with a nomination for Best Picture
at the Acadamy Awards. A sequel called "Babe: Pig in the City" followed.

Pippo is a pig
made by Sanrio, the company that makes Hello Kitty. He is a cute pig who's
Hello Kitty's friend. He lives across from the park in a small apartment
and is friends with a little bird. Zashikibuta is also a Sanrio
pig, but she's harder to find. She's a pig from the Netherlands. The Sanrio pig lines are no longer being produced. What a shame.

Snowball and Napoleon were two of many pigs in George
Orwell's book, "Animal Farm." It is a satire about pigs who get corrupted
by their power. It's not really about pigs but it's a great book.

Squealer is the Ty Beanie Baby pig. He is now retired and so
he's sometimes hard to find, but he's really cute. Squealer was one of
the nine original Beanie Babies. There is another pig Beanie named Knuckles, and one for the Chinese Year of the Pig.
