Rating:  - GREAT MOVIES!!! GREAT VALUE!!! FOR ALL ANIMALS LOVERS YOUNG AND OLD!
I love this Double Feature DVD! "Babe" is one of my all time favorite movies and "Babe Pig in the City" is a completely worthy sequel. I got it as a gift and I don't have kids. I just love animal movies! I'd recommend it for both kids and adults. I didn't care that you "have to" watch the trailers for other movies before Babe. Actually, you can fast forward through them and they're not even on the other side of the disc for Babe Pig in the City. It's worth the double feature price anyway. I'm also a vegetarian (have been since I was 10) and can't believe anyone wouldn't be after seeing movies like this. Animals are sentient creatures with feelings. I hope this movie makes people stop and think about it. Go vegetarian!!!
Rating: - Now here is a great family film
Ever since it was first in the theaters I loved Babe. Especially the singing mouse trio. Ok in 2 Ferdinand got rather tiresome. He wasn't comic relief just annoying & self absorbed. the story could have done even better without him.
However a 3rd no thank you I'm glad they had the sence to quit while they're ahead. Some keep slapping on sequal after sequal & only manage to tire the whole thing out.
I admit I only have these on VHS but this is on my wishlist. It should be on anyones wishlist who is young at heart. Enjoy.
Rating:  - Babe is great, but the sequel is something else....
I saw Babe many years ago and loved it. When I saw the "double feature", I thought it would make a nice addition to our family DVD collection. My kids and I sat down for our double feature today and as I thought, they loved the first Babe. It's cute, heartwarming, and teaches some good lessons without being overdone or heavy-handed.
However, I was caught off-guard with the sequel. It lacks the charm of the first Babe, was much darker and frankly was strange. My son, who is 9, said, "That one was weird" and that about sums it up. It seems the moral lesson in the sequel is about animal cruelty, which is an admirable topic to address. The film was just not executed well. The scenes with human actors reminded me of something from Dr. Suess. Odd clown costumes, people with pig noses, women with "Cindy Lou Whoo" hairstyles....it just felt like an entirely different movie with the only thing in common with the original Babe being the pig and the duck. Farmer Hoggett was barely in the movie at all. Mrs. Hoggett was featured much more in this film, which wasn't a bad thing until the bizarre scene towards the end when she dons the clown costume, does ballroom bungee jumping in it, and ends up with a huge inflated balloon instead of pants.
I gave this double feature a 4, thanks to the first Babe, which is an outstanding film. I would give Babe a 5 and the sequel a 1.
