"A murderer's shadow lies hard across my soul," is a thing a dog says to a pig in this movie. These kind of sincere, crazy ambitious follies are few and far between. They need to be treasured.

My one complaint is that Babe spends most of the movie across the bay from the actual city, looking out the window at this much cooler place. That’s like if Home Alone 2 all took place in Jersey City.

Babe: Pig in the City walked so Fury Road could run. (Honestly, this is incredible. I can’t believe I’m barely discovering it.)

Bong Joon-ho should direct the third Babe movie.

George Miller absolutely didn't have to create sets or chase setpieces as insane as the ones he did here. We need to go back to ostensible kids films that were as goofy and weird and traumatizing as this and then realized with impeccable craft. Give them back to the…

A truly uncompromising film. Every single shot is so unbelievably ambitious, a desperate cry to show its audience something spectacular and unbelievable. If only every blockbuster chased the urge to create new images, backed with such sincerity and passion in equal…

“My humans tied me in a bag and threw me in the water” WHAT I liked the first movie better but so much of this one was so stressful. I actually had to look away when the dog started drowning lol I’m glad they all got to stay together in the end though ❤️

Babe: Pig in the City

So poignant and beautiful just wonderful if you don’t cry at least once during this film you have no soul. This movie seriously was life changing as a child and as an adult it really hits home even more. Kindness is always the answer.

Great movie. Obviously the use of real chimps makes me sad but it’s a great addition to the first movie. Definitely would recommend

Pig in the City has been designed with the goal of recapturing the enchanting feel of the original while taking the story in new and different directions. It succeeds at both aims, standing as a worthy sequel to one of the decade's most innovative family features.

James Berardinelli

ReelViews

You couldn't have gotten a more pleasantly bizarre film if Salvador Dali himself had directed, which says a lot for Miller's rabid talents.

Marc Savlov

Austin Chronicle

Don’t miss this astonishingly bleak, inventive, funny, sumptuously designed film.
