Continuity mistake: They mention that the goose has hatched out 7 goslings. They say there were 8 eggs and one didn't hatch. The one egg is given to Templeton, and it is later smashed open. Later that night as they're going to sleep, the mother goose has 7 goslings under her, but then then it shows Jeffrey (one of the goslings) sleeping with Wilbur. Seems they had an extra gosling with the mother.

Continuity mistake: After Templeton nearly gorges himself to death at the fair, he is with Wilbur and Charlotte the next morning. The fat rat begins crawling into the crate with Wilbur behind him. The distance between Wilbur and the crate increases between shots.
