When Mr. Zuckerman wins the $25 award for Wilbur, the announcer waves only one bill. It was green so it should have been cash, not a check, but I don't think there have ever been $25 bills. [The prize is $5 not $25.]

it is virtually impossible for a pig to look straight up into the sky. So it is hardly possible for Wilbur to be able to look up and see Charlotte on her web once, let alone the amount of times he freely does. [It is also impossible for pigs (or spiders, badgers, and sheep) to talk. The movie is not meant to be a realistic portrayal of pig behaviour. Also, virtually impossible is not impossible. Very unlikely, but that doesn't make it a film mistake.]

It seems strange that Charlotte had to ask the other barnyard animals how to spell "terrific," given how articulate she was. (She had no trouble reading anything else Templeton brought to her and used words like "Salutations!" and "magnum opus."). [I know sometimes I have problems spelling words like that, even though I'm an English teacher. Just because she uses words like salutations (which is something she could have grown up saying) and magnum opus, doesn't mean she can't have problems spelling words like "terrific". Even the most articulate people in the world can mis-spell words.]

Jeffrey, the gosling, is always following Wilbur around. So where is he after the fair, when Wilbur comes back heartbroken because Charlotte has died? They never show him again after the scene where the stuttering goose tells him he can't go to the fair too. [Maybe he got mad because he couldn't go to the fair and never visited Wilbur again. Maybe, he was a small Sunday lunch (it IS a farm). The point is, they don't have to update us on every single character. The story focused on Charlotte and Wilbur.]

When Fern is outside talking her father out of killing Wilber, her little brother is inside coming to eat breakfast. His plate is empty at first, then has pancakes on his plate and the next scene he is putting the pankcakes on his plate. [He ate the pancakes whilst Fern was talking to her father, and then was replacing his plate.]
