Best movie of this year hands down!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

A very excellent family movie, whose anarchic attitude might be off putting to some people - especially if you don't expect it. Approach this with the kind of mindset you would approach a Terry Gilliam movie (just let your imagination take seat and drive), and you will find much to love and think about here. There is plenty of ridiculously chaotic and fun action to make it a treat for even the youngest of viewers as well. Just like Gilliam usually does, it manages to express its worry over the continuing creep of alienation between us all, but never gets preachy about it. Furthermore, it is fun, smart, humane, and above all, it teaches mutual respect and tolerance. We're all in this together right, nobody really knows what's up, it's nice if people would be generally more aware of that fact. This movie encourages that attitude, which is why I think it is a pretty important piece of family cinema, as innocuous as it may seem on first glance.

Babe: Pig in the City is a good movie with a very enjoyable and well developed storyline with a good cast and a tone if very lovable characters.I find this to be a very underrated sequel,I found it just as good if not better than the first Babe,I loved all the animals in this one even more than the first,and I also felt a lot more emotion in this one.The movie also has a tone of very funny scenes.Fans of the first Babe should not be disappointed by Babe: Pig in the City.As he heads to a big city to save his farm,Babe goes to a hotel infested with animals.Its up to Babe to save these animals when they are discovered by animal control.

George Miller might not be the most prolific of film-makers, but he sure is one of the most versatile: how many other directors can you name who are just as adept at films about talking animals as they are with gritty, brutal, post apocalyptic action flicks? When Miller first made the move from Mad Max to a sheep-herding pig, I was suitably gob-smacked, but nowhere near as flabbergasted as when I saw what he came up with for the sequel…Rather than simply repeat the formula that made the first Babe movie such a success, Miller dared to take his lovable porcine pal into surprisingly disturbing territory, fusing the macabre with the magical and the saccharine with the sinister, the action taking place in a bizarre, nightmarish world that wouldn't seem out of place in a Jeunet and Caro movie. Rather unsurprisingly, the film left many fans of the first film feeling somewhat confused and dismayed, unable to accept this altogether darker, more surreal vision.Their loss! With stunning set design, breath-taking costumes, and superb special effects, the creativity and imagination on display in Pig In The City far exceeds that of the original, while Miller's superb story-telling delivers emotional highs and lows, thought-provoking morality, and lots of laughs. As for the claim that the story is too dark for most children, has nobody ever seen The Wizard of Oz? Like that film, this is a brilliant piece of fantasy cinema that, if there is any justice, will eventually and deservedly be recognised as the masterpiece it most definitely is.

A truly terrible sequel to "Babe" (which was a wonderful movie). Famer Hoggett (James Cromwell) is seriously injured when he falls down a well. Great way to start a kids movie--see a character we like getting seriously hurt. Mrs. Hoggett (Magda Szubanski) has to go to the city to save the farm from being sold and takes Babe with her. That's when the movie just goes out of control.The city is a mishmash of all famous buildings from other cities around the world. Some may think that's clever--for me it was disorienting and annoying. Babe meets other animals and here's where it gets really disturbing. At one point Babe picks up a fish in his mouth to get it back into water. The way its shot u think Babe is going to eat the fish. At another point a dog's leash gets tangled on a bridge. He falls over into the water. Because of the way the leash is tangled and he falls he can't get his head out of the water for air! We get a nice shot of the poor animal trying to get some breath. At ANOTHER point a baby monkey is clinging for dear life from a chandelier. Also the human characters aren't treated much better. Mrs. Hoggett is ordered to be strip searched early on! I caught this at a matinée in 1998. I have never forgotten some kids crying because of what they were seeing and outraged parents storming out of the theatre and complaining LOUDLY that this film was not a kids film. The original had dark moments too but nothing like what we see here. This movie seems to enjoy putting humans and animals in danger and shoving it in the audiences faces. THIS has a G rating? Don't let your kids see this one.
