Audience Reviews for Babe: Pig in the City

  • Nov 30, 2011
    It's better the previous.
    Rodrigo R Super Reviewer

    Not so good as the first film, Babe: Pig in the City, presents some dark scenes that gonna scare the lovers for the sweetness of the previous picture and could deviate the children of this sequence, but could too interest an audience that like of more dark material. Despite been a good film, Pig in the City, is not a recommendable movie.

    I still can't believe that a G rated kids film has; a dog hanging by it's neck from a bridge then nearly drowns, use of the word 'pussy' as an insult, a fire started in a children's hospital, a clown that entertains sick kids die, a puppy telling how its previous owners put him in a bag and threw him in a river, a strip search, a handicapped dog getting dragged behind a truck, then twitching on the ground after he crashes, and an adorable baby monkey that nearly plunges to his death. But all that makes it just so awesome. The best children's movies are the ones that traumatize, because you just remember them so well later in life. As for looking at the film on a purely artistic basis, I thinks its just as charming as the original. The narrator describing Babe's world as being just "slightly to the left of the 20th century" is just wonderful.
