Pros: Fast action video fantasy
Cons: Animal cruelty from the Animal Patrol.
Babe, Pig in the City is a wonderful fantasy starring Magda Szubanski, James Cromwell, Mickey Rooney, and Babe. The video is 96 minutes long, in color, put out by Universal Pictures. Compared to other videos, this is action packed and a must see for...

Pros: The production design--my God, the production design... Cons: Too many supporting characters
So studio executives were shocked—shocked—during the inaugural screening of Babe: Pig in the City. Director Miller had delivered to them a porcine Perils of Paulina: instead of herding sheep to the tune of "lalalalalala," Babe found himself...

Pros: Breathtaking sets; intriguing cinematic style; characters that are visual marvels Cons: Most definitely NOT a film for kids, despite the "G" rating
As a critic, Babe: Pig in the City paints me into a difficult corner. On one hand, I was charmed by the sheer visual delights that awaited me. On the other, I was mortified that Hollywood actually considers this a "family" film. Parents...

Pros: cute little animals Cons: weak characters, script, story
"Babe" told the tall tale of a humble pig who escaped the axe by becoming a sheep herder. It was the charming, feel-good sleeper hit of 1995. A sequel was inevitable, but 1998's "Babe: Pig in the City" was a box office bomb, capping...

Pros: The art direction, the direction, the screenplay, the genuine sense of wonder, the appeal of the characters, you name it, they got it. Cons: To all those who said that it was "Too disturbing for kids," I offer this advice: Shut up.
By Max Scheinin.
It's easy to write off films when they're as dark and original as Babe: Pig in the City. But those who get on the wavelength of this dark, bustling fairy tale (albiet, the kind of fairy made by Terry Gilliam and Tim Burton,...

Pros: Great, fun, engrossing film... Cons: A little dark in tone but still fun...
At first, I didn't think we needed another "Babe" movie. I loved the original and it deserved all the acclamations it got. "Babe" was a truly wondrous children's movie about finding out who you are and earning the respect of your friends. And that's it,...

Pros: gothic imagery, stunning sets, hip monkeys Cons: it's not a cheery, traditional fairy tale
My two kids, age 19 months, were obsessed with the original Babe. "More Babe, more Babe," were among their first words. So when the DVD of the sequel, A Pig in the City, arrived, we were thrilled. And then when we slipped it...

Pros: As good as the first, wonderful sets, classic moments Cons: Over the top Highjinx toward the end; made me cry
Babe: Pig in the City. I laughed! I cried! I fell in love all over again!
Seriously folks, this is one of the more enjoyable movies I have seen.
For starters, it continued in the same vein as the first movie. Instead of trying to re-make...

Pros: everything Cons: too dark for faint hearted
“Babe: Pig in the City” picks up as the little pig, Babe, returns home from his triumph of winning a sheepdog contest. The narrator tells us that the first hazard for the returning hero is fame. Indeed, nothing is the same on the Hogget’s farm. Babe...

Pros: None Cons: Sequels are (In Most occasions) dumber than the first
After having an obnoxiously horrible week, I decided to make myself feel better by going to see a movie. What better choice- the sequel to one of my favorite movies, "Babe." I expected the same sweet type of movie, teaching about the meaning of...

Pros: This movie is great for everyone. Talking animals are remarkable and the story is heartwarming and interesting. Cons: This film was categorized for kids, not adults.
As a general rule, I despise films featuring talking babies, animals, or automobiles. But now I’m happy to report an exception. A big exception. Babe is it - a talking pig and a talking animal film that’s impossible to dislike.
Babe is a...

Pros: Great and believable animations, all computer done. Characters have personality in buckets Cons: just very absurd for anyone over 10
Well I never saw the original "Babe the pig." movie, but this past weekend I was treated to the sequel, via my 3 year old God daughters tape.For kids,this has to be one of the greatest treats of all time. The talking Duck was hysterical,and the...

Pros: honest storytelling; great sets Cons: menacing tone
Some descriptions refer to this film as "charming" and "sweet." I might have chosen, instead, "gritty" and "ominous." As a sequel, "Babe: A Pig in the City" has different preoccupations than its...

Pros: Will have you smiling most of the way Cons: Slightly limp ending
There’s something about the ‘Babe’ films, something magical and childish and utterly charming. They’re the perfect solution to a miserable, rainy day and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
This sequel rises slightly above the original due...

Pros: singing mice are the best this has to offer Cons: everything else!
Roger Ebert must have been half asleep when he gave this movie a good rating. After the brilliance and originality of the Original "BABE", this sequel was in turns bizarre, freakish, frightening for our child and just plain stupid.
