The plot is weak, but considering the challenge of handling so many animals, it's understandable. I wonder how the director managed it. My favorite part is the hotel; the building is adorable, with a touch of Gaudí's style.

Watching Dragon Brother seeing Grandpa being taken away by the ambulance and the scene of the police catching animals, it really tugged at my heartstrings...
Samantha
Babe's adorable squeals are simply irresistible! For those with love in their hearts, life is always a fairytale. The plump, kind-hearted woman is as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside. I wonder if the gorilla ended up falling for her...

George Miller is truly one of Australia's great film directors. I absolutely loved "Mad Max: Fury Road," and I was surprised to discover that "Babe: Pig in the City" (Australia/1998/George Miller) and the original "Babe" were also his creations. Despite the vastly different subject matter, both films highlight Miller's exceptional ability to conjure dreams on screen, bringing animals to life in remarkably human ways. Even after more than 20 years, the "Babe" series remains unparalleled. This is a truly wonderful film to experience with children, weaving themes of courage, kindness, and unity into the lovable little pig's adventures in the city...

Slightly less charming than the original, but still streets ahead of its contemporaries.

"A charming sequel to the original, Babe: Pig in the City brings back the lovable pig with a heart of gold. As Babe navigates the bustling city, he meets a cast of quirky characters and learns valuable lessons about perseverance and friendship. While the cityscapes are a far cry from the rolling hills of the farm, Babe's innate goodness and determination make him a beacon of hope in the urban jungle. A heartwarming tale of courage and loyalty."

Babe's journey from a humble pig to a city slicker is a heartwarming tale of determination and, let's face it, some questionable fashion choices.
