4/4
Carries its predecessor's torch into darker, quixotic territories, bursting at the seams with folkloric witticism and hellzapoppin' imagery. Go to Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Sep 16, 2010

Darker than the original, not for very young kids. Go to Full Review Pat Graham Chicago Reader Jan 29, 2010
It's George Miller's masterpiece, maybe even the best commercial film of 1998. Go to Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight Nov 26, 2022

“Babe: Pig in the City” is a wonderful family motion picture that touches various topics, but doesn’t live up to the power and overwhelming brilliance of the original. Go to Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central Nov 5, 2019
It's a bracing shot of inspiration: the darker it gets, the more important kindness becomes. It could've been made yesterday. Go to Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) Jul 2, 2019
It's so beautifully designed and everything looks like it's from a storybook. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robert P @Superbad Oct 7, 2026 This is a 2.5 star Movie!!! See more Sarrah W @GuardianW May 31, 2026 I don't even know what to say other than it's not child friendly and it's full of degenerates. I don't know how Babe goes from a cute kid friendly movie to something wild and completely left field. See more Kelly W. @kwilliams Aug 6, 2025 WTF is this movie?!?! See more Stephen C @bob25009 May 15, 2025 The worldwide gross is $69,100,000.00, less than the budget of $90,000,000.00. But it's still funny. See more cesar c @RT97435798 May 3, 2025 Leave it to Miller to expand beyond a litte farm and creat a new world for a little pig to play and wonder. Life if dark but is kind too a good story allways is. See more Dec 17, 2024 The sequel lacks the charm of the first movie and is actually quite dark. I would skip this one. See more Read all reviews
