Froglet Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 So, Wilbur reminds me of Babe in Dick King-Smith’s book ‘The Sheep-pig’. The main theme in the film of that book (Babe) (usually sung by mice) is based on Saint Saens organ symphony. I had no idea until I went to see my sister’s university orchestra in a concert and they played it. My brother recognised it and started singing the words in a mouse voice making me giggle. Cue parental exasperation - I was about 24. I have never forgotten it! Have a look at FM’s video to see what I’m on about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
