Babe/Babe-Pig in the City

Summary: Babe IS in WIDESCREEN.... Sort of
Review: A previous reviewer (Peter Schlosse) made the only partially correct observation that Babe is in Full screen.

The reason for this is the 2-Pack actually has two editions... one where Babe comes in Widescreen and one where it comes in full screen. The sequel, Pig in the City, contains both Widescreen and Full Screen on the same disc.

The versin Peter obviously wanted is attainable... though since I did not buy it through Amazon, I am unfortunately unable to instruct as to how to make sure you get the version you want.

As for the quality of the films themselves, the only real things they share in common are sublime production design. The content itself is almost polar opposite.

And this is the part where you'd expect me to say that Babe is superior, but it's actually a pretty close call for me. The first is better, but the extra 5 bucks you'll be paying for the sequal is certainly worth it. The second is more mean spirited than the first but both have lessons for everyone.

Kudos to all involved.

Babe:Directed by Chris Noonan. Produced by George Miller (The Mad Max Trilogy). This is a amazing, live-action barnyard fable from Australia. This film pushes the envelope on both Animatronic Effects and Family Storytelling. It`s a Great Family Film and It`s also one of the Best Films ever made.

Oscar Winner of Best Visual Effects. Grade:A+.

Babe:Pig in the City-This is a Very Dark Sequel. The film was a Huge Box Office Flop in 1998. This is not Successful loved by Modern Audiences but Fans of the Original and Critics (Who, most of them, deeply loved this more than the Original) will enjoy this one. Oscar Nominated for Best Song. This film has Superb Production Design by Roger Ford. This Sequel is a Very Underrated Film. Grade:A-.

Summary: Great Set Of Films
Review: I watched the first Babe with apprehension but was pleasantly surprised at how well it was told. It never talks down to the audience and this is a quality that I find extremely important in children's films.
Then I watched the second movie, Babe: Pig In The City and thought it was two times as good as the first. I did not think it could be possible but it improved upon the original and surpassed it in terms of originality.
Ignore negative reviews in regards to the second film from people who would be much better suited watching Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True (a movie which contained everything I hate about childrens shows/movies). The Babe series is chocked full of fantastic situations and wonderful lessons for everyone.

Summary: Bizarre, Weird, Waste of Time and Money, Disappointing
Review: The first was great. This second one is simply bizarre and lacking in every aspect. Probably one of the worst children;s movies ever.

Summary: Babe is NOT Widescreen
Review: The movie "Babe" is a big hit in our family, having rented it (VHS) several years ago. The sequel, "Babe - Pig in the City" is very good, too. We recently purchased a widescreen HDTV, and I was on the prowl for widescreen DVDs the entire family could watch and enjoy. The "Edition Details" for "Babe" (the single) clearly state the movie is full-screen. However, the details for this two disk set, "Babe" and "Babe - Pig in the City" led me to believe BOTH titles were widescreen. They are not. Only the latter, "Babe - Pig in the City" is widescreen. Although I still love the movie, I am disappointed.
