Babe Pig
in the City Rated
G. Running time: 96 minutes. Recommended for ages 7 and up.
The sequel to Babe
opens with the Hoggett family experiencing hard times because Farmer
Hoggett is bed-ridden and can't manage the farm. Mrs. Hoggett, trying
to find a way to save the farm from foreclosure, takes their prize-winning
sheep herding pig to the state fair.
In a strange series of calamities, Mrs. Hoggett ends up in jail and Babe is alone in the big city. The movie is visually outstanding and the talking animals are as entertaining as ever. Warning: This movie is more obviously dark than the first, and may be too troubling for younger children. --Reviewed by Jo Hansen
