The animal shown at the end of the movie on the hilltop is actually a meerkat; not a mongoose. You can tell by the facial structure and the stripes along the back. The mongoose has a bushier tail than the meerkat and a broader face.
Twice during the movie, footage of a steam locomotive is used to depict the travel of Nandor and Anne. However, the locomotive footage used is from an American railroad, while the movie is set in the British Isles.
British steam locomotives did not feature a large headlamp or bell, as a rule. And the inclusion of the steam whistle sound is correct for a British locomotive, but wrong for the American locomotive depicted in the film.
