I want everyone who hated this insult to the first film to know that they're absolutely right. With all the ludicrous slapstick and even the apparent mention of narcotics and other vulgar elements, it's pretty clear that we shall never be able to trust G-rated movies ever again. How could they take a nice porker and put him in the middle of a story that's so dark and scary and not in a fitting way? There are places where a dark and scary themed story for kids could work(Jim Henson's the Dark Crystal comes to mind), but this is not one of them. How unkosher. Among the other reasons why this movie was a torpedo was because director Miller had made an effort to take the credit for the whole film away from Chris Noonan, who'd directed the first film, and bearhug all the script control for himself. So for the film to be a failiure, I'd say that's what he got for cheating his co-writer out of the loot. And no doubt about it, he's also to blame for making this so filthy. But the real culprits in this case may be some of the film critics, most notably Roger Ebert, who made no serious attempt to explain why this film requires some parental guidance, the inappropriate G-rating notwithstanding. They did not tell about any of the elements that were unsuitable for kids. As we see, the critics are chiefly to blame, even if the film was a flop. And that's why all critics and their editors must be slammed for such contempt.

I published a review on my own in which I accidentally said that BABE: PIG IN THE CITY was rated-PG because the only advertisements I saw in TV said it was PG and I recently find out it was G. But I couldn't tell the difference. It could've been PG because of the unnecessary dark side it had. The scenes of Babe almost killing Farmer Hoggett. A prostitute dog. A dog hanging by his neck then almost being drowned, etc. The new BABE was unappealing and many moments and scenes un-called for. Especially for children. But that probably explains why it lost over $80 million.

I threw my video of Babe: Pig in the City in the garbage can where it can keep company with old tuna cans. No movie aimed at very young children and bragging a G rating should have nearly naked women in it. What are we teaching little kids just beginning to understand male and female roles with this soft porn in their films. I guess movie execs are trying to ready them to accept the grotesque portrayal of sexuality on t.v. and in adult movies. You can't have my kid!.

fantastic film...though feel it probably works better for adults than for children..true it is a bit dark but delves into some simple human truths using animal characters (i.e. predjudice) absoultley brilliant delightful... amazing lines by the animals

I was shocked and disappointed at the subject matter for young children. That was NOT a "G" movie. It was PG, and I'm extremely upset that I can no longer trust a "G" rating for my innocent small children. The bikini scene--RAUNCHY; the animal characters--LESS THAN DESIRABLE. My kids came out with somber faces. Aren't children entitled to a movie that makes them feel warm and happy inside? Let's not cram the big, ugly, adult world down their throats at such a tender age. Shame on you! I want a refund!

Doesn't come close to the charm of the original. I agree with the DN review.
