Babe 2: Pig in the City 🎥 1998 Movie Info

Plot Summary

A few weeks after Babe had won the sheep herding competition, Farmer Arthur Hoggett is injured in an accident when the duo attempt to fix Hoggett Farm’s pump, leaving his wife, Esme, to tend it alone. Then threatened with eviction at the end of the month unless their mortgage is paid, Esme recovers an offer from an upcoming state fair they recently received where Babe can demonstrate sheep herding for a generous appearance fee, prompting her to leave with him for it. At an airport in the city of Metropolis, an overzealous detection dog shows Babe what it is like to be rewarded for doing a good job by falsely signaling that he and Esme are carrying drugs, causing them to miss their connecting flight and forcing a few days-wait for the next flight home.

At first unable to find a hotel that allows animals, the duo find accommodation at the Flealands Hotel run by the sympathetic Miss Floom, who shelters stray animals. There, Babe meets a trio of chimpanzees consisting of Bob, his pregnant wife Zootie and his younger brother Easy and Thelonius, a civilized Bornean orangutan who is a servant for Floom’s elderly uncle, Fugly. Babe is made part of their clown act, in which he is reluctant to appear until the apes insinuate that he will be paid, believing that it could be vital in saving the farm, but he soon inadvertently causes the act to end in disaster.

At the same time, Esme, after being tricked by Fugly into believing that Babe has escaped, searches for him but is falsely arrested following an incident involving police officers and other bystanders when a gang of motorcyclists attempt to mug her. The next day, Fugly is taken to the hospital in a food coma, accompanied by his niece. Left to fend for themselves, the hotel’s animal occupants soon become famished and the chimps decide to illegally obtain some sustenance nearby.
