There's a lot to like in this film. As in the original, it has more than a few echoes of Animal Farm in its portrayal of humanity as the exploiter species. It respects both its child audience, by permitting Babe and his sunny decency to win out, and its adult audience, by generating more wit than the average dozen Hollywood films.
The entire production is vaguely unsettling. That, in fact, is one of the most engaging things about Babe: Pig in the City. The imaginative art direction, economical editing and sculptural cinematography combine to make this movie one of the year's most distinctive-looking productions.

A dark, violent film, it has undeniable visual power and sporadic moments of wit. There's quite a bit of fun, but it's not the cheery entertainment you might be hoping for from your favorite porker. [25 Nov 1998, p.D1]

Me encanta, tiene un encanto muy diferente y una atmósfera un tanto frívola y superficial, pero aún asi es hermosa y tierna.

Beautiful and dark in the best possible ways, in the tradition of Pinocchio, The Wizard of Oz, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, yet thoroughly original.

Amazing movie, I never watched it before because sequels usually suck. But wow what a fun film!
