Writer/director George Miller steps into the spotlight for this episode of Film Stories, as we dig into a pair of his sequels.
The hugely-acclaimed Mad Max: Fury Road arrived in 2015, but it had a heck of a journey to get that far.

1998's Babe: Pig In The City was a film pretty much taken for granted by its parent studio, Universal Pictures. It wasn't until a late preview screening that the studio discovered it hadn't quite got the sequel to 1995's Babe that it was after - and urgent last minute changes were called for.
