Agree, highly entertaining on many levels.

I'm somewhat surprised you felt “Pig in the City” was awful. The drastic spectrum change from the lightness of “Babe” to the sequel's darkness was a strange approach. As a sequel it can be said that it took a plausible direction, but I would agree it failed to be true to the sentiments of the original. On its own, I felt the story was amazingly creative with ingenious visuals.

To me, “Pig in the City” is a bit of an anomoly, one of those rare occasions that appears that the leash was let go in favor of creative freedom. It is on the edge where judgements of “good” or “bad” are difficult - at least for me.
