Trivia

In the scene where the farmer is knocked out, Otis gives him a copy of the book "Charlottes Web" - the next Nickelodeon Movie. See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: After the farmer has been knocked out and Pip sits on the man's wrist to feel the pulse, Pip is sitting on the "pinky" side of the hand. The radial pulse in the wrist is detectable on the "thumb" side of the hand. However, the cubital pulse, though usually weaker, can be felt on palpation in most people. See more »
