They should of not make this film in first place since its not like the first one. The plot did not make any sense to me. Why did they have to go to the city in first place ? The whole city thing felt like that they just put random ideas together with out any thought. i seriously did not get the ending at all. This film is not worth your time at all.

Babe: Pig in the City is a masterpiece.One that outdoes the first film by a whole lot. Yes, it is dark and tragic, but it's visuals and story are like a vivid dream. The city is so bizarre, full of weird people and buildings, followed by a weird, yet genius plot. The reason that I rate this film higher than the original Babe is because Babe is less memorable and less powerful. This film has resonated with me since I was nine years old. Some scenes scared me at that age, some freaked me out. But I loved it. I recommend this film to anyone; yes, it is a family film, but it's mature tones and dark themes will grasp anyone. 10/10

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.

The FIRST Babe was great. A wonderful story with interesting characters, and funny moments. Great for kids.This movie is a total disaster. It is twisted, dark, violent and has almost no connection to the original movie. It should not be classified as a family movie. And it should not be shown to little children.The story itself is stupid, bizarre and a waste of time. Whoever produced this was going through a heavy drug and alcohol abuse phase in their life. It has no redeeming value and is not suitable for children! What a disgrace of a movie.People who were expecting a light-hearted continuation of the original BABE will be greatly disappointed.
