Custom image of Tom Hardy from Mad Max in front of Babe from Babe: Pig in the City against a cloudy background

The Big Picture That George Miller might forever be most known for having created the invariably great Mad Max universe is understandable: it’s a great piece of post-apocalyptic fiction, with imagery that’s since become nothing short of canonical. Still, one of Miller’s greatest works is too often undervalued, and while it shares the same sort of frenzied kinetic energy as the Mad Max films, it couldn’t otherwise be further from Miller’s famous franchise.

Release Date November 25, 1998 Director George Miller Cast Magda Szubanski , Elizabeth Daily , Mickey Rooney , James Cromwell , Mary Stein , Danny Mann , Glenne Headly , Steven Wright Runtime 97 Minutes Main Genre Adventure Writers George Miller , Judy Morris , Mark Lamprell , Dick King-Smith Studio Universal Pictures 'Babe: Pig in the City' Is a Family-Friendly Delight Compared to the death-filed chaos of the Thunderdome, Pig in the City feels like Disneyland.

The darkness continues as the Bull Terrier, blindly raging with his genetic instinct to kill, is hung from a bridge and nearly drowned. Later, Flealick is dragged from behind a speeding van, crashes his wheelchair in a crumpled heap, and is temporarily sent to Doggy Heaven where he's regained the use of his hind legs to playfully chase butterflies. Spoiler Alert: he's called back to earth by Babe, delaying, however briefly, the inevitable.

The 'Babe' Sequel Is Surprisingly Grounded in Reality For a children-friendly film, Pig in the City surprisingly showcases utter contempt for filthy late-stage capitalists and other figures of authority. The sanctuary built for all animals, while far from utopic, operates on a simple fundamental idea that food and shelter is a right for all living things to be distributed equally.

If the first Babe film revolutionized the talking animal picture, Pig in the City pushes it to imaginative new heights. The live animal acting is among the greatest ever committed to film, alongside the Oscar-bound Rin Tin Tin or Anantomy of a Fall's canine superstar Messi. Miller makes it all work flawlessly with a talented crew of animal trainers, all while retaining an applaudably humane film shoot during which no animals were harmed in any manner.
