Babe: Pig in the City

A few weeks following Babe's success at the sheepdog trials, Farmer Arthur Hoggett is injured in an accident when the duo attempt to repair Hoggett Farm's pump, leaving his wife, Esme, to tend the farm alone. Soon threatened with eviction at the end of the month unless their mortgage is paid, Esme recovers an offer from a concluding state fair they recently received where Babe can demonstrate sheep herding for enough money, prompting her to leave with him for it. At an airport in the city of San Francisco, 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, only to be 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 chimps decide to illegally obtain some sustenance nearby, using Babe to distract a pair of guard dogs. Babe ultimately rescues one of the dogs after the latter almost drowns in a canal, who then pledges to act as a bodyguard for Babe to express his gratitude. Around that time, a number of stray animals arrive and Babe offers them shelter in the hotel, before helping provide for them all with what the chimps stole. Having flown all the way to Metropolis, Babe's best friend Ferdinand arrives at the hotel and reunites with him after Zootie gives birth to twins. The celebration is interrupted when several hostile animal control officials are summoned there by the Flooms' animal-hating neighbor, Hortense. Most of the animals, except for Babe, Ferdinand, the Flooms' Panamanian white-faced capuchin Tug and disabled Jack Russell Terrier Flealick, are confiscated. The quartet infiltrate the animal control facility and rescue their incarcerated friends. Released from custody, Esme returns to the hotel to find it in disarray and Floom mourning her uncle and the animals' capture. After confronting Hortense, the duo locate the animals at a fundraising event and, after a dramatic fight with staff members, manage to reclaim them. Afterwards, Floom sells the hotel and gives the proceeds to Esme so she can save the farm, where Floom and most of the animals go to stay. As Esme resumes her duties and Hoggett finally repairs the pump following his recovery, the latter proudly smiles at Babe and says, "That'll do, Pig. That'll do.".
