Theme song from the movie "Babe"

There's a catchy melody which is repeated throughout the movie Babe. I've always liked it very much. Yesterday, on my classical radio station that I've been listening to online at work I heard the melody done with organ and a brass fanfare.

My question, if anyone has the answer, is whether this tune was stolen for Babe or whether what I heard yesterday was based on the movie, i.e. which came first the tune or Babe?

Thank you to my friend Colin who has advised me that the music I was looking for was Saint Saens Symphony No. 3, last movement. Apparently this is also known as the Organ Symphony.

I can now relax, not that anybody cares!

Are you trying to push the limits of my sanity Paul? No, I haven't seen it, but NOW I'll have to and I'll have to listen for the music and not know what it is too!!
