Overview
See production notesA piglet named Gordy lives on Meadow Brook Farm near Hope, Arkansas. However, after the farmer goes bankrupt, he is forced to sell everything, starting with Gordy's family. Gordy tries to stop his father from leaving by following the truck taking him, but he tells Gordy to go home and look after the family. Returning to the farm, Gordy finds that his mother and siblings were taken in another truck while he pursued his father. Determined to locate his family and return to the farm, Gordy sets out to find them. He soon ends up in the care of Jinnie Sue McAllister, a young country singer who lives in a camper van with her father, Luke, and their "manager", Cousin Jake. They travel to a dinner party, where Luke performs for the governor of Arkansas. Also attending are rich businessman Henry Royce, his daughter Jessica, her scheming fiancé Gilbert Sipes, and her lonely young son Hanky. Hanky wanders off and meets Gordy and Jinnie Sue. Hanky falls into the swimming pool but cannot swim. Just as Jinnie Sue rushes off to get help, Gordy dives into the pool with an inflatable tube and saves Hanky. Due to Gordy's bravery, he is given to Hanky as a pet and becomes famous. Henry and Gilbert have conflicting opinions on who the new mascot of the Royce Company should be: Gordy or Jessica. Gordy wins, due to a switched camera lens used on Jessica's promotion. Gilbert is determined to remove Gordy and take control of the company. He sends his henchmen, Dietz and Krugman, to kidnap Gordy, but Gordy and Hanky escape by boarding a school bus, which Dietz and Krugman pursue. Gordy and Hanky escape onto a feeding truck and unexpectedly meet up with the McAllisters, who learn from the radio that Hanky has apparently run away. Another bulletin follows, revealing Henry has died of a heart attack. The McAllisters return Hanky and Gordy to the Royce building in St. Louis, Missouri, where an attorney reveals that Henry has left his company to Gordy and Hanky. Cousin Jake, upon learning that Gordy's family is missing, organizes a countrywide search to locate them and also a country music concert in Branson, Missouri in Gordy's name. Jim Stafford, Moe Bandy, Boxcar Willie, Cristy Lane, Buck Trent, and Mickey Gilley perform, as well as a surprise speech from President Bill Clinton (voiced by Jim Meskimen), who unveils a new stamp of Gordy. Gilbert sends Dietz and Krugman to kidnap Gordy, but he is saved by Cousin Jake, who returns him to Hanky and Jinnie Sue. Everyone learns from someone who calls into the telethon that Gordy's family is going to be slaughtered in Nebraska. Gilbert tries to hide the fact that it is owned by the Royce family, causing a brief struggle that ends with Jessica and Luke knocking Gilbert out. Gordy and the others race to stop the slaughterhouse from killing Gordy's family, but a train slows them. Hanky rings the love-struck supervisor, and the slaughterhouse is shut down just in time. To Gordy's happiness, his family has survived, and he is reunited with his father, who was also at the slaughterhouse. The pigs are moved back to the farm, which Luke and Jessica buy; they marry and settle with Cousin Jake, Hanky and Jinnie Sue (now brother and sister). Gordy and his family are finally reunited.
