Continuity mistake: When Wallace races to get crackers, check the packet's logo. When the camera angle changes it's different. (00:08:57)

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the movie, when Wallace says: "hold tight lad, and think of Lancashire hotpot" one picture of a sheep on the ceiling slightly moves a few times. (00:19:57)

More trivia for A Grand Day Out with Wallace and Gromit

Question: Wallace's briefcase has a sticker upon it saying: Blackpool, Bognor and Beaconsfield. To what do they refer?

Bunch

Chosen answer: Bognor Regis and Blackpool are seaside towns, so presumably, those are places Wallace and Gromit have been on holiday in the past. Beaconsfield is an inside joke: It's where the National Film and Television School is located and a number of scenes were filmed there.
