Continuity mistake: 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.
Babe (1995)
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.
Continuity mistake: 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.
Trivia: James Cromwell was a long time vegetarian, but decided to become vegan after playing Hoggett in Babe.
Arthur Hoggett: That'll do pig, that'll do.
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.
Question: What's the deal with The Hoggett's children and grandchildren?
Answer: Very vague question. There is no "deal" with them. They are just modern.
Question: Why is The Hoggett's granddaughter a spoiled brat and grandson very quiet?
Answer: Personality traits of brothers and sisters are not necessarily the same, even if the parents provide a stable environment for their children to grow up. The grandson could just easily been the spoiled brat of the family. In the context of the movie, one of the grandkids had to be the spoiled brat to carry the story along and show the love of the grand parents for them, even if one of them did not appreciate the hand made doll house he built for her.

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.
