History Film / BabePigInTheCity

** Later on in the film, Esme Hoggett, who's forced to wear Fugly's clown costume after her dress gets ruined, barges into the ballroom's kitchen to try and get Babe back and comes close to catching him, but the chefs holding her by the suspenders cause her to get pulled back, knocking them over in the process.

* SplittingPants: Esme's dress is [[spoiler: ripped after she returns to hotel and bends down to examine Babe's tracks, leaving her backside exposed]]. Later, during the movie's climax, [[the pants of the clown costume she's wearing as a replacement to her ruined dress are [[RunningGag also]] torn apart and destroyed after an inflatable rubber suit beneath it begins expanding itself after it's inflating features are triggered by accident during the scene's slapstick fights]].

** Babe himself counts as well. He's far less street smart than the city animals, but also much more of an optimist. He's unable to hold a grudge towards any other living being, even the ones who try to hurt him, and even goes as far as [[spoiler: rescue a vicious guard dog who to kill him]].

* KindheartedSimpleton: Esme is shown to be far more simple and innocent than the citizens of Metropolis, but also as much kinder and pure hearted than most of them as well. Not only is she shown to be [[HappilyMarried a devoted wife to Arthur]], she's also absolutely determined in [[keeping Babe safe]], and even strikes a motherly and warm friendship with the Landlandy. That being said, she ''does'' have a limit on how much she can take

Months have passed since the events of the first film, and Babe is beloved by everyone for his role as a "sheep-pig". One day, Babe accidentally injures Arthur while trying to help him with the well and Esme is left to do all the work on the farm in his place. Things get worse when debt collectors come to foreclose on the farm, but luckily, Esme finds out they can pay off their debt by making an appearance at a fair, so she and Babe go off on a business trip. However, they miss their connecting flight and are forced to live in the city until they can get back to the farm. But Babe and Esme soon find out that city life is much harder than farm life...

* RuleOfFunny: During the movie's [[BallroomBlitz climax]], [[spoiler: it's revealed that there's an inflatable rubber suit beneath Fugly's clown costume, which begins blowing up while Esme is wearing it after a scuffle with a waiter results in a small tag being pulled off from the suit's pants, which is apparently enough to activate the inflation feature. The whole concept doesn't make much sense, as the rubber suit inflates to the point where it completely ruins the costume's pants, leaves Esme unable to walk, and doesn't seem to serve any purpose in Fugly's shows. The sounds that the suit itself makes as it inflates and [[OhCrap Esme's reaction to it]] also suggests that it's not a pleasant experience, which makes it feel even less practical]]. However, it sure makes for an amusing and unexpected twist to the chaotic and cartoonish sequence.

* WouldHarmASenior: [[CountryMouse Esme]] finds out hard way that most of the citizens of Metropolis have very little respect for her age, and are more than willing to [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender attack and hurt her physically]] if provoked, intentionally or not. [[PlayedForLaughs In fact, a good chunk of the film's humour]] is precisely these fights and the public humiliations Esme goes through as a result of the inconsiderate way she's treated.

** Before Esme gets arrested, a bucket full of billboard glue falls on her and she gets drenched in it. By the time she gets back to the hotel, the glue has dried and her dress splits open when she bends over.

* GagBoobs: When dressed in the clown costume, Esme's breasts squeak and honk suggestively a few times.

** Ferdinand gets one as well [[spoiler: when he arrives to the city and realizes he's just landed on a ''shooting range'', filled with very enthusiastic gun owners who are all too happy to have a live target]].

* CountryMouse: It's made very clear that Esme is a rather simple person who hasn't ever ventured very far from her home in the countryside, and is completely unprepared to deal with the bigger and far more unfriendly world of the movie's titular urban jungle.

** And finally, [[spoiler: she has two during the movie's [[BallroomBlitz climax]]: when she first jumps off from a balcony while tied to the ropes of the ballroom's chandelier and realises just how fast she's going, and another one when the clown suit she's wearing begins to suddenly inflate]],

** When [[spoiler she's detained at the airport, falsely accused of carrying illegal substances and ordered to step into a room for a strip search]].
