Continuing on with a tour of 1998: "Babe: Pig in the City" (1998). Will it "win" out?

Hi, I'm Alan. I'll be commenting on this movie.

Hi, I'm Mark. I will also be commenting on this movie.

It is my first watch of #BPIC

This movie has the feel of The Shire, with a dash of early 20th century technology. I like the atmosphere. #BPIC2019

"A Kennedy Miller Film"; this refers to the production firm, but it confusing, given the director is George Miller, huh #BPIC2019

Within the first three minutes, there is infinitely more violence and menace than the first film. Is the farmer dead? Holy fuck #BPIC2019

Movie begins with Babe committing manslaughter. #BPIC2019

I don't understand why the mice are singing Piaf at the farmer's sickbed, but it works #BPIC2019

This movie is almost certainly too good to analyze. #BPIC2019

It's obvious that it's very good, and I may stop tweeting in order to enjoy it better #BPIC2019

I do think it would be slightly better without the CG animal mouth movements. Homeward Bound got this right. #BPIC2019

Moving mouths is classic "Babe" style, learn to love it

Also, every movie dog should be a collie, collies are so good

#BPIC2019

"Ma'am, we have the pig." #ClassicMovieLines #BPIC2019

Mrs Hoggett is clearly a naif w.r.t airpots, attempting to pick up her pig at baggage claim before making a connection

Very weird airport logic #BPIC2019

It's an international-to-domestic connection. Standard practice in the US to have passengers collect their luggage from baggage claim and check it again for the domestic flight. #FlightTips #AirportEducation #BPIC2019

Holy hell, the set design in this movie is so great #BPIC2019

I'm not a big fan of Babe. #BPIC2019

But Babe: Pig in the City is incredible #BPIC2019

Mickey Rooney! This movie has it all! #BPIC2019

The cat chorus was incredible. This movie is incredible. #BPIC2019

This movie would be hard to analyze, because it's too well-imagined, and also too perfect #BPIC2019

Haven't tweeted in a while. The film is just too beautiful and humane and I love it too much to keep up the writing #BPIC2019

"Thank the pig" #ClassicMovieLines #BPIC2019

Haven't been tweeting much, just want to note the perfect balance of Mad Max-style chase sequences, perfectly twee moments of quiet, and humane character moments. Great movie #BPIC2019

Always a solid choice to have the villain of a film be an opera fan. Good trope. #BPIC2019

The name of the city is "Metropolis" #BPIC2019

Every action sequence combines perfect continuity and precise physics with nightmare logic. Delightful stuff #BPIC2019

#ThankThePig #BPIC2019

I like that the champagne tower never fell. #NeverFall #SaveTheSparkles #BPIC2019

I don't think it had to give us a "That'll do pig", but they did, and it worked #BPIC2019

I've long known that this movie is incredible, don't know how I've gone so long without seeing it #BPIC2019

It was very good. Likely too good to analyze in too much detail. #BPIC2019

I love this movie, everyone should watch this movie #BPIC2019
