Babe: Pig in the City

***Babe: Pig in the City*** is a 1998 sequel to the 1995 movie _Babe_. It takes place in the fictional city of New York. Because of the unexpected darker and more grown up subject matter (the movie includes a scene in which a dog almost drowns while hanging from a bridge), the movie was not received as well critically as the first _Babe_ movie was, and reviews were generally mixed. However, it was also praised by some, and gained a cult following.
