Babe: Pig in the City is a 1998 sequel to the 1995 film Babe. It occurs in the fictional city of Metropolis. Despite being a sequel to a highly-acclaimed children's film which, for the most part, had a charming and light-hearted atmosphere, Pig in the City had an unexpected darker tone and contained more mature subject matter . As a result the film was not received as well as the first film was, as it flopped at the box office and reviews were generally mixed. Shortly after the events of the previous film, Farmer Hoggett is injured and unable to work. Facing foreclosure, Esme Hoggett resolves... to show Babe at a faraway fair for an appearance fee. On the way to the fair, Mrs. Hoggett and Babe are unexpectedly detained and forced to stay in an unfamiliar and hostile city. They find the only hotel in town that secretly accepts pets but soon become separated from each other. Babe is taken by the Landlady's uncle Fugly Floom, a clown who performs with a troop of chimpanzees and Thelonius, his loyal orangutan.
