this film fail to explore the humanity of the animal which leave me with an empty feeling inside . [ spoiler ahead ] i be not convinced that dr. d really have a compelling reason to forego the big buyout deal to help his furry friend . whereas babe ( the original ) buck the trend of big budget hit by focus on the human virtue of the animal vs. their human counterpart and all the animal in this film be nothing more than comical caricature which one would gladly stuff in the meat grinder ( even more so if one could understand their pointless babble ) . without eddie murphy zany behavior and this film would be a flop .
