'Babe: Pig in the City' Poster.

Babe: Pig in the City is a 1998 comedy-drama film, and the sequel to the 1995 film Babe. It is co-written, produced and directed by George Miller, who co-wrote and produced the original film. Prior to the film's theatrical release, it was originally rated PG-13 by the MPAA, but due to a number of intense scenes, which frightened younger viewers at a test screening, it was later reedited to a plain G. A few of the scenes can be seen in some TV spots or trailers.

Deleted Scenes

After the test screening a lot of footage was cut as it was deemed too intense or disturbing for younger viewers. These scenes include:

  • A more intense scene of Arthur Hoggett's injury in the well.
  • A scene where Esme Hoggett is actually strip searched. Most was cut after previews but there was a scene in the cinema release where the woman who asked her to remove her clothes snaps a rubber glove on her hand before entering the room after Esme.
  • Originally instead of Babe tripping Fugly up his suspenders caught on the cannon and he tripped himself up, pushing Babe into the fire. This was reshot to show Babe tripping Fugly up.
  • A scene where Esme fights blindly for her purse with the bucket of glue on her head so she accidentally strikes a police officer. This was cut for obvious reasons.
  • A scene of Esme in her prison cell with a snoring cellmate.
  • A scene where the monkeys build a pyramid of junk food cans and boxes which they trick Babe into climbing and falling from the window into the canal. The pyramid then falls on Fugly who injures himself and is taken to hospital the next day. Footage of this can be seen in the TV spots and trailers for the film.
  • A scene where the landlady holds Fugly's hand as he dies. This later alludes to the scene where the landlady says her uncle Fugly's on his deathbed.
  • An extended and more intense scene of the drowning pit bull involving a moment where Bob says 'Let him die... He deserves it.'
  • A more brutal and intense scene where the men attack and remove the animals and dump them in the vans and cages. This was shortened because kid's felt it was too brutal.
  • A scene which showed what the facility for the animals was including a moment where rabbits smoked cigarettes and they tested hair products on the cats.
  • A scene before the ballroom rescue scene where, after Esme gets grabbed by her suspenders and she falls back the two waiters outside the door stand for a moment then approach the door and Esme bursts through it again, making them fall back.
  • The Most Well Known Scene was an extended scene in the ballroom where, after Esme knocks the waiter off the ladder the chef who originally had Babe and the waiter who grabbed her suspenders earlier grab her 'trick stockings' which stretch and they swing her around the edge of the ballroom until Babe knocks them over, snapping the stockings. This can also be scene in the TV spots and trailers for the movie.
