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 (the film includes a scene in which a dog almost drowns while hanging from a bridge). 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 Arthur Hoggett and Babe are escorted home by an adoring crowd of fans, they ride a van with 'Famous Sheep Pig' written on it, planes write the word 'CHAMP' in the sky and they are getting thousands of letters. Esme Hoggett, his wife, embraces their fame but Arthur wants to tend to the farm. Fixing the water pump in the well, Babe tries to help but injures his master. After his accident, Esme tries to take over the farm but two men in suits come from the bank one day and Esme rushes to Arthur, remembering a letter about sheep-herding. If they do it, they will get a generous appearance fee
