KIRK: It’s not exactly Babe, it’s more like Babe 2 …Same pig, harder edge.
Kirk references Babe: Pig in the City, a 1998 comedy-drama adventure film that is the sequel to Babe, previously discussed, and has the same director and most of the same cast. The story focuses on the journey of the pig Babe (now voiced by Elizabeth Daily), and Farmer Hogget’s wife Esme, in the fictional city of Metropolis. The film, which is noticeably darker in tone and setting compared to the first film, received poor reviews, and was a box office bomb.
