Why...

- didn't they just ask to buy a live young pig from the butcher instead of asking for a live chicken while helping the pig escape?
- would the nanny let a small boy and boy-as-pig wander around a village with a butcher shop?
- didn't they prioritize finding the sister, with a door-to-door search if necessary?
- didn't the nanny call the brother, who as a merchant presumably has a phone and in close walking distance to the grandmother's, in the first place?
- didn't the nanny give the kids her brother's number so they could get in touch if something happened

I know, it's a kids movie. But so dumb!
