Fugly’s Animals
Zootie
A chimpanzee and the mate of Bob. She gives birth to twin boys in the middle of the film.- Mama Bear: She tries to protect her twins from an animal control officer.
Bob
A smart talking, street smart chimpanzee and the mate of Zootie. He becomes a father when Zootie gives birth to twin boys in the middle of the film.- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He’s very abrasive to Babe and the homeless animals, but he is a loving mate to Zootie, a loving father to his twin sons, a loving older brother to Easy, and a caring friend to Tug.
- Papa Wolf: When an animal control officer is about to take Zootie and the twins, Bob jumps on the officer to protect them. Unfortunately, they all end up getting captured.
Easy
A young chimpanzee and younger brother to Bob. He becomes an uncle when Bob and Zootie have twins in the middle of the film.Thelonius
An orangutan and butler to Fugly.- Cross-Cast Role: Thelonius is a male orangutan, but he is portrayed by a female; justified because female apes are easier to train and handle than males.
- Shout-Out: His name is a reference to the jazz pianist Thelonius Monk.
- Undying Loyalty: He was very dedicated to Fugly, and took his death quite hard. He was also the one out of Fugly's apes that remained the most faithful to him and his image, and his entire reason for helping Esme and choosing to remain by her side after the movie's events was solely because he saw her wearing Fugly's clown suit and was instantly reminded of his beloved old master.
Tug
- Cute Mute: Particularly cute because he's the only animal character with no dialogue.
- Intelligible Unintelligible: He makes realistic monkey noises that humans can't understand. Unsurprisingly, the other animal characters understand him.
- Translation Convention: The only animal character to avert this; it's shown that none of the animals speak English, since whenever the perspective switches to the humans, the animals can only be heard making realistic animal noises.
Other Animals of the Hotel
Flealick
Nigel and Alan
Nigel is an English bulldog and Alan is a Neopolitan mastiff who are always seen together. Nigel usually makes a derisive comment about Babe and the homeless animals while Alan just responds with “Right Nigel.”- Those Two Guys: They are always seen together and don’t interract much with the rest of the animals and humans.
Fishes
Other Animals of Metropolis
Snoop
A drug sniffing beagle at the airport- Small Role, Big Impact: He is in only a couple of scenes (and the second one was just a voiceless couple second appearance), but by showing Babe what happens when he barks, Esme is falsely detained, causing her and Babe to miss their flight and having to stay at an illegal hotel. Their stay kicks off the events of the film.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: See Small Role, Big Impact.
Pink Poodle
A female standard poodle with pink fur. She hooks up with the bull terrier at Hoggett Farm, and together they have puppies.- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Her mannerism and comments on how she was used and thrown aside once her beauty started to fade away give slight vibes of an aging sex worker.
- Missing Mom: She leaves her puppies with their father to be with another dog.
- No Name Given: She’s never given a name and is credited as pink poodle
Bull Terrier
- Angry Guard Dog: Subverted eventually.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: He becomes Babe's heavy after Babe saves him from falling in a canal. He freely admits most animals would've happily let him drown.
- No Name Given: He never mentions his name. He’s even credited as just bull terrier.
- Punch-Clock Villain: He believes "it's his job" to be malicious.
Humans
The Landlady
She is the landlady of the hotel and the niece of Fugly Floom.- Animal Lover: She allows animals to stay at her hotel, even though she has allergies to some of them and she knows it's illegal for her to shelter them.
- Heroic BSoD: She's heavily implied to have one when she sees her hotel ransacked after returning from the hospital where her uncle died.
- Intergenerational Friendship: She's quite a bit younger than Esme, but nonetheless strikes a close friendship with her during the movie's events. By the end, she even sells the hotel and moves to the countryside, close enough to the Hoggett farm to visit Esme and Arthur.
- Jerkass Façade: When Esme arrives to her hotel for the first time, she immediately speaks to her in a rude and hostile tone before sending her and Babe away. However, she only did it so she wouldn't alert her nosy and unpleasant neighbor, who already suspects her of illegally sheltering stray animals.
- Nice Girl: She's a kind and sweet woman who absolutely loves animals and uses her hotel as a shelter for them, despite the city rules forbidding so and her own allergies. She's also one of the very few people in the city who doesn't treat Esme like crap, and becomes her only and closest friend there.
Fugly Floom
He is Miss Floom’s elderly uncle and a clown who goes by the stage name The Fabulous Floom.- Killed Offscreen: He's last seen being dragged off to the hospital and the Landlady later tells Esme that he didn't make it.
- Non-Ironic Clown: Played With. While Fugly Floom seems to be a kind elderly clown who does shows for children in hospitals despite his own failing health, he also didn't hesitate to steal Babe and lie to a frightened Esme about the whereabouts of her pet.
- Sad Clown: The Fabulous Floom is a literal sad clown.
Hortense
A snooty woman who lives close to the Flealands Hotel. She suspects the Landlady of sheltering animals against the city's laws and regulations, and frequently spies on her to confirm these suspicions.- Jerkass: She's a very snobbish individual who loves to meddle in other people's affairs. She also has a strong hatred of animals, and after confirming that the Landlady shelters many of them in the Flealands Hotel, immediately calls Animal Control officers to remove them from the property, without even considering how her actions will affect the animals themselves and the Landlady. In addition, she seems to be a verbally and emotionally abusive wife, as she's seen ignoring her husband's pleas to not concern herself so much with the Landlady's life and yelling at him for something she herself is to blame for.
- Kick the Dog: She has no good reasons to call the Animal Control officers, as none of the animals that stay in the Flealands Hotel ever go near her house or do anything to intentionally bother her. She does it solely because she can't stand the sight of them and sounds they make.
- Laser-Guided Karma: A rather satisfying example. Her decision to call Animal Control to aggressively remove the animals from the Flealands Hotel ends up biting her in the ass, as the Landlady sells the destroyed property and the former hotel is turned into a very loud nightclub which doesn't allow her to have a decent night's sleep or listen to her opera songs. It's made clear that her life will now be much more miserable than what it was before, and it's all thanks to her own nosy and petty actions.
- Never My Fault: After she calls Animal Control to tear down the Flealands Hotel and remove all the animals that the Landlady shelters there, the now ruined property is sold and the new owners turn it into a nightclub, which is much louder than the animals she despises so much ever were and completely prevents her from listening to her opera arias. Despite the fact that this misfortune was entirely her own fault, she furiously yells at her husband Roger as if he was the one to blame. Made even worse by the fact that Roger even advised her to stop worrying about the private lives of her neighbors. Had she simply listened to him and minded her own business, none of it would have happened.
- Nosy Neighbor: She constantly spies on the Landlady because she's convinced that the young woman is sheltering animals in her hotel and thus breaking the city's laws. She eventually confirms her suspicions and wastes no time in trying to "fix" the situation.
- Rich Bitch: Implied; she has the typical snobbish attitude of one, dresses nicely, owns a rather large house and has personal tastes which are frequently associated with the refined upper crust, such as listening to opera.
The Hot Headed Chef
One of the chefs that works in the fancy party seen during the film's climax. He attempts to kidnap Babe, which results in a confrontation with Esme.- Adaptational Jerkass: While already nasty in the film, the novelization has him be even more violent towards Esme, and his attempts to stop her get a lot more rough, up to grabbing her by the legs, swing her around at high speeds and tearing off her stockings.
- Angry Chef: While apparently very good at his job judging by the appearance of the food seen in the ballroom, this chef is most definitely not a gentleman, as he tries to kidnap Babe to presumably cook him, and gets physically violent when Esme tries to rescue her little pig from his hands. His name says it all, really.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: As his name implies, he's not exactly a friendly individual. In the novelization, he's even quicker to resort to violence, and gives Esme a nasty retaliation after she knocks him into a dessert table.
- Would Hit a Girl: He certainly has no problems with hurting Esme. In the novelization, he goes as far as grabbing the poor lady by her stockings, swing her around violently and eventually tearing off said stockings and shoot her forward like a human projectile. It's made even more shocking (or perhaps a lot funnier) by the fact that Esme is old enough to be his mother.
