Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe box office failure of this and the equally expensive Meet Joe Black (1998) led to the resignation of then Universal head Casey Silver.
- GoofsThe dog listed as the Pit Bull is actually a Bull Terrier. Pit Bulls look quite different, without the distinctive sloping muzzle of the Bull Terrier.
- Crazy creditsOne of the singing mice thanks the audience for staying through the credits.
- Alternate versionsThe scene where Ferdinand lands at the Gun Club is removed from some TV showings. The film cuts from him landing in daylight to his perching, out of breath, on top of a tall building after dark.

Featured review
I remember watching this movie when I was very very young and I kinda remembered parts of but I kept procrastinating watching it again now because I remembered I loved it when I was young. So finally came the day I saw it and I must say even after all these years it's quite enjoyable.
I want to talk about a few aspects of the movie very briefly
The story. ( Easy to watch, engaging, made up of multiple small chapters which lead to the final conclusion. It's a Cartoonish fairyland mixed with some dark real-life messages which I overlooked when I was younger. It's very interesting how realistic they made this movie and personally, I couldn't believe it was shot in 1998. We are once again reunited with the little innocent pig called Babe and his adventures which helps him slowly grow up and teaches him good values. But compared to the first movie this has more darker twists and turns which eventually lead to something good.
Sound design. (Excellent. When I watched the movie everything with music felt just right like you would expect.)
Stunts. ( I wasn't expecting much stunts at all from this franchise but it surprised me with the second movie which is filled with quite a lot of amazing quality stuntwork. From dog chases which feel like car chases but with animals to all the other acrobatic things that happened. I'm still amazed.)
Overall I think quite a lot of people will enjoy it and very few won't. Personally, after watching it this feels like not the greatest movie and not the worst one so it's somewhere in the middle around 7 out of 10. Would recommend to anyone but it wouldn't be my first choice as a family movie.
