Overall rating: 2.5 out of 5

from 185 members

Tim Haines, producer of 'Walking With Dinosaurs', brings this unusual true story of two escapee pigs to life using film footage of real pigs, enhancing it with computer technology and backing it with a human cast. In 1998, two pigs escaped from a slaughterhouse in Tamworth and managed to avoid capture for over a week. By the time they were found, the media had christened them 'Butch' and 'Sundance' and the whole country watched as the drama unfolded. The pigs were eventually saved from the abbatoir by a national newspaper, who sent them to an animal sanctuary.

'Funny & heart-warming', etc., but for some, too honest about where sausages & bacon come from!

Rubbish

By lippy1099 from lancs , 24 Jun 2006

I thought this film was rubbish, and really should have checked the suitability before sitting down with my four children, opening scenes show an abbatoire, and the `two` pigs losing their mate to a meat cleaver incident! the journey of the `two` was very amaturish and I thought it a very low budget offering, please dont watch and expect great things.

My sides were not splitting at all, it is in the comedy section, but I have concerns as to which genre it should really be in.
