A mish-mash of rural England, Australia and the United States.
It was filmed in Robertson, New South Wales, Australia, but the Hoggett farm was a set, torn down after filming completed. It was based on a novel set in the English West Country. King-Smith took inspiration from Boyd Farm, located in south Gloucestershire, when he wrote the book.
A production decision was taken early on not to locate the film in any specific country or area, and the use of accents reflects this. The actors mostly use their own accents which are a mixture of American, Australian and British. James Cromwell mentioned re-recording the dialog several times to get the correct mix. The production design similarly mixes images of American, Australian and British small farm rural life.
