Revealing mistake: At one point when the sheep are in a neat formation, you can see straps holding them still.
Babe (1995)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Chris Noonan
Starring: James Cromwell, Hugo Weaving, Miriam Margolyes, Christine Cavanaugh, Magda Szubanski
Continuity mistake: The sheep thieves drop their ramp when they leave, but when Hoggett arrives it has disappeared.
Arthur Hoggett: That'll do pig, that'll do.
Trivia: James Cromwell was a long time vegetarian, but decided to become vegan after playing Hoggett in Babe.
Question: After Babe first tries to herd sheep on the farm, Rex talks to Fly and mentions that the two of them are ancestors of someone. Could this mean that he and Fly are related and have been inbred? When the puppies are for sale earlier in the movie, the sign for them says that Rex is a champion; it seems like a farmer would be careful not to inbreed a champion dog.

Answer: Rex means that they are both part of the sheepdog family, not that they are closely related. He thinks that when Fly told Babe about sheep-herding, she disgraced her whole species.
