After Babe's great victory in the shepherding contest, Farmer Arthur Hoggett turns down all offers to make money with his pig's talents. But when he gets hurt severely in the well, his wife has to take up farming. She does her best but cannot meet the bank's requirements, which results in the necessity of getting back to Babe. Soon, Esme Hoggett is sitting in a plane headed for "the" city. There, Babe unwillingly causes deep trouble. He has to stay with Mrs. Hoggett in the only hotel in town that accepts pets. Friendly neighbours send officials who catch all animals from the hotel: Cats, dogs, chimpanzees and many others. Babe, who managed to stay free, decides to help his new friends and gets unexpected help - not only by Ferdinand, who flew all the way to the city.

| eFilmCritic.comCollin SouterAn amazing accomplishment. George Miller brings the same approach to this sequel as he did with the Mad Max trilogy: Don't re-make, re-invent. A work of genius. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is more of a wonderment, lolling in its enchanting images--original, delightful and funny. |
| Slant MagazineRob HumanickCarries its predecessor's torch into darker, quixotic territories, bursting at the seams with folkloric witticism and hellzapoppin' imagery. |
| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaMost definitely not a movie for young children |
| VarietyLeonard KladyBabe: Pig in the City is tour de force filmmaking that masks its achievement in a good ripping yarn. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumDon’t miss this astonishingly bleak, inventive, funny, sumptuously designed film. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusWould anyone go for a sequel to The Wizard of Oz that catapulted Dorothy and Toto into the world of Once Were Warriors or Escape From New York? |
| Film.comSean P. MeansA sequel that lacks the quiet beauty and subtlety of the original! |
| USA TodayAndy SeilerIn Babe: Pig in the City, the sunny mood of the Hoggett Farm has been supplanted by darker urban tones, suggesting the arrival of a new cinematic genre: Barnyard Noir. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Ray ConloguePig in the City has been designed with the goal of recapturing the enchanting feel of the original while taking the story in new and different directions. It succeeds at both aims, standing as a worthy sequel to one of the decade's most innovative family features. |
