Soon after Babe’s sheepherding triumph at Hoggett’s farm, a series of unfortunate incidents strand him alone in the big, foreboding city. With a new menagerie of animal cohorts the plucky porker proves again his mettle—and triumphant values of friendship and kindness. On its release, some were put off by the darker turn of writer-director George Miller’s sequel to the much beloved Babe (1995).Over the years, however, audiences have come around to Roger Ebert’s original assessment that this follow-up proves “more magical than the original.”
Babe: Pig in the City , 1998. DCP, color, 92 min. dir: George Miller
