In the scene where Grimsby is giving the statue of Eric to the prince, one of the crew members shirt changes color from white and black stripes to blue and black stripes. Buy one get one free eh?

When Col. Hathi inspects his troops, his stick breaks at the bottom because he leans on it. Yet, in the next scene, the stick is still complete. This happens a lot of times in that scene. Somebody sure knew how to fix sticks real fast in the jungle!

Peter Pan (1953)

The mermaids’ splash a lot of water on Wendy, you can tell her hair is wet because it’s all droopy and hanging down. Then in the wide shot, her hair is perfectly dry. Give us the magic formula and we will have a bad hair day again.
