Even more talking animals are featured in BABE: PIG IN THE CITY, sequel to 1995's highly successful BABE. The original won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in 1995, and Mill Film, Rhythm & Hues, and Animal Logic contributed to the visual effects to the sequel.

These shots, accomplished by Rhythm & Hues Studios, feature real-life animals 'fitted' with digital prosthetics. The snouts of the animals were meticulously matchmoved in 3D, where a photorealistic mouth was animated and composited over the real mouth. In many cases, parts of the animals' real mouth (if not the entire mouth, snout, chin, etc.) had to be digitally erased.
