Trivia

When James Cromwell was handed the screenplay for Babe, he thumbed through it to see how many lines he had. He saw that he didn't have that many, he decided that he would do it as a nice easy film. What he didn't realize was that he would have more screen time in this film than any of his previous films, just not that many lines. See more...

Mistake Continuity: When Babe is walking through the house, you will notice that several times his feet switch from muddy to clean as the camera angle changes.

Mistake Continuity: The sheep thieves drop their ramp when they leave, but when Hoggett arrives it has disappeared.

Mistake Continuity: There is one section where the camera shows the animals looking into the house through a window, but when it shows it from the outside they are looking in through a door. It's around the part where Babe is in the competition.

Mistake Continuity: During the sheepdog trial, when all the crowd are cheering after Babe receives full marks, you get a view from the stand. Farmer Hoggett and Babe are standing in front of a pen. Then there is a close-up of Hoggett and Babe, and the pen has disappeared.

Mistake Other: The fax machine Hoggett receives as a gift is different from the one he uses to send his application for the show.

Mistake Continuity: After Farmer Hoggett's dance to cheer Babe up, he turns back to see Babe gone from the couch. But when you see the couch, the pillows arranged are different than when Hoggett was sitting on it.

Mistake Revealing: At one point when the sheep are in a neat formation, you can see straps holding them still.

Mistake Continuity: The alarm goes off at dawn, yet when Babe picks it up it is set for 10:25.

Mistake Continuity: Farmer Hoggett is an old fashioned man, and naturally his fences are old fashioned and wooden. However, in the scene where the two sheepdogs are rounding up the sheep, the camera follows one of the dogs for a shot, and you can see the fence in the background is much more modern - it's called New Zealand fencing, I think - where in the shot before it was wood.

Mistake Audio problem: On the way back to the house, in the back of the horse cart, Babe and Fly are talking to each other. They never open their mouths while they're talking.

Mistake Audio problem: There are a few points throughout the film when the animals talk, but their mouths don't move.

Mistake Continuity: At the beginning of Babe's competition, Farmer Hoggett removes the leash which then reappears and disappears in subsequent shots.
