Title: Did I miss something?
Review: Film of the year, is this "Babe pig in the city" we are talking about?The first film was magical, endearing and quite clearly aimed at children.The sequel, should surely aim for similar goals?After 40 minutes of unrelenting bleakness and darkness enough was enough, it had to be turned off. (I know it was probably about to get lighter and be brilliant, but I think not)Where was the slightly other worldly feel of the first film?It had been stamped on by the nightmarish vision of some studio exec on his/her way back on the "red eye" from LA.I know some people have said it is not a childrens film, who was it designed for??Two 15 year boys at the pictures, "two for Babe pig in the city please, to enable us to appreciate it's subtle nuances and metaphors of real life".I don't think so.Avoid this film and for goodness sake don't let your young kids watch it, unless you want to spend all night comforting them.
