Summary: Are you sure this isn't directed by Terry Gilliam?
Review: Whoa, WIERD!!! Man this movie is dark and weird, and it reminds me of Terry Gilliam, specifically his movie "Brazil". The movie has this weird, dark city setting, and this sort of totalitarian feel to the society, especially the Police in it. But, it is good for the way it's interesting. Not for little kids, trust me.

Summary: Shocking!
Review: Whoever likes this movie, feel free to like it. But really!! I heard in my local newspaper how they were going to rate it PG-13, with every curse word imaginable except that one - and they squeezed everything down to "darn". Seeing this, I was a little freaked that two year olds were watching this with their older siblings who were really 4 years older... it's shocking!

Summary: Don't Watch This Movie If You Are Depressed
Review: The first movie Babe was dark and sad at times but had many high notes, however, this movie was sad and depressing for the most part. The animation and special effects were great. The mice made the show as well as Ferdinand the duck. I feel this movie is too scary for the little ones. Talk about a bad hair day for the Pig. At least the Pig prevails. Although we all know how cruel people treat animals, I don't think children are ready for this one. As a animal lover, I found the movie heartrending even though things worked out. In the real world, they usually don't. If anything comes out of this sad movie, is perhaps a child who may show more compassion to animals. Leave the moral lessons to me. Glad I saw it before I took the young 'ens.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: This movie was a disappointment compared to Babe. It was definitely not a classic sort of movie!

Rating:
Summary: Oscar caliber
Review: This should have won Best Picture, and a number of other awards as well; direction, editing, screenplay, music, visual effects, etc.

Summary: Not for young children.
Review: I found this movie oddly fascinating. Our 4-year old found it a little scary. There are some cute parts to the movie, but there are also some intense, morose and depressing scenes. The fear of being chased is replaced with the fear of being killed in the chase. In the first movie, animals are animals; in this, animals are given a much higher status, maybe over some people. This movie IS more for adults, but even then, I think that adults looking for the sweetness and simplicity of the first will be disappointed.

Summary: Distinguished by its differentness!
Review: It's truly sad that this movie was not seen by more people in the theaters, since that is the best place to take in all its stunning visuals. Yes, it has a darker tone than the first BABE movie, but that only works to its advantage. It's not a tired rehash of the first movie. It VERY boldly strikes out in new directions, and becomes a gorgeous, complex children's movie that doesn't pander to children or talk down to them. Like the best children's movies and literature, this movie acknowledges that children are intelligent and capable of handling complex stories that might be tinged with a tone more somber than the average Disney movie. The maturity with which it presents its story makes it accessible to adults, as well (A hallmark of any classic children's film that wants to stand out from the crowd). If you have a DVD player, this movie should top your list of must-haves.

Summary: Childhood in the Eternal City
Review: Children in America grow up innocently in bucolic suburbs, where they are trained to load straw into Chevy pickups and spray Pam on all their cookware. Or most children's movies tend to assume that, and that's why many parents of my generation have so much trouble finding kids movies they can bear to watch with their kids. "Pig in the City" takes place in a world that three-dimensional children will recognize, and I know that my eight year old daughter found it as riveting as I did. What the critics who found the content too "adult" don't realize is that most children are aware that there is cruelty in the world, and finding a movie that admits this fact while arguing that there is a way to overcome it is exactly the kind of thing that many parents long to do. A rarity.

Summary: Great Original Movie
Review: Still I cannot understand the fact that this movie did very badly on the boxoffice and that it's totally beaten by such a dreadful CG movie about bugs. This is not a superficial movie for children. It's a work of art, I would say. This movie definitely deserves repeated viewing even for adults!
