Babe: Pig in the City is a 1998 comedy-drama adventure film, the sequel to the 1995 film Babe. It was co-written, produced and directed by George Miller, who co-wrote and produced the original film. Magda Szubanski and James Cromwell reprise their roles from the first film, with Mickey Rooney joining the cast.
The film was nominated for Best Original Song at the 1998 Academy Awards.[3] Though the film failed to match the success of its predecessor, grossing only $69.1 million on a $90 million budget,[4] it has received mostly positive reviews. The film has developed a cult following since its release.[5][6]
