a evidence by the survey of comment on this site alone and people either love or hate this movie . unfortunately and i hate this movie . i want to love this movie . really . i love the first one . but babe 2 be the bad sort of sequel not only be it just disappointingly bad and it actually ruin the pleasure you get from the first film . one of the great thing about the first film be babe relationship with farmer hoggett . in babe 2 and the formerly dignified farmer hoggett be only in it for about 10 minute and but in that short time and he fling down a well and and then make goofy gesture . he completely rob of his dignity . i mean and do anyone enjoy see farmer hoggett head be slam over and over and pass out . in fact and all the human in babe 2 be frighteningly abused and for no good reason . mickey rooney and a very creepy clown and literally just drop dead . mrs. hoggett be strip search by drug agent and be douse with a bucket of glue and and then be fling around a ballroom on a bungee and dress in the dead clown costume and no less . be this all really necessary . in a movie that kid watch . it wasn not funny and it be just sad . very sad . abysmally sad . not to mention completely pointless . and in the first movie and babe the pig have a unique mission and make his triumph truly sweet and heartwarming . the storyline be singularly original . and the first movie dealt with some real life issue ( at least in the animal world ) and which give weight to the notion of fate and destiny and which be nicely intone throughout the movie by the narrator . in babe 2 and all the obstacle be contrive and trivial and so the attendant triumph become hollow and pointless . and if you think about it and babe the pig doesn not actually do anything . he just get chase around and or just act witless and and do thing that everyone tell him to do . the first movie be about babe courage and originality . in this movie and he lead around like . a sheep . ( how very ironic . ) you never root for him and because he have nothing to accomplish . i be deeply disappointed . i have to watch the first movie over again and just to cleanse my palate and but i be still in mourn .
