Corrected entry: Following Edward's swim chasing the snake, he returns to the bank to talk to Jenny. His hair is completely dry, and his clothes are completely soaked.

Correction: Edward dosen't actually swim underwater, he only walks through it to grab the snake, therefore only his clothes should be wet, and his hair should be dry.

Corrected entry: During the scene showing a C-47 transport plane flying at night over enemy territory during the Korean War, in the background we hear the song "All Shook Up" to establish a time frame. This song by Elvis Presley was not released until March of 1957, almost four years after the end of the Korean War.

Correction: The song isn't actually being heard by the characters. It is for the audience to hear as part of the soundtrack.

Corrected entry: Towards the end at the hospital, the doctor tells Will what really happened at his birth, as opposed to the big fish and wedding ring story Ed tells at the beginning, and Will acts as though he has never heard the real story before. But Will already knew the real story because he used it to rebuff his father when they were arguing at the wedding about him telling the made up version.

Correction: The doctor probably didn't know that Will knew the truth, so Will was just being polite and pretending the doc's story was new to him.

Corrected entry: When the young Edward Bloom meets up with Carl, after taking different roads outside of Ashton and Edward loses his shoes in Spectre, Carl says to him "Frank, what happened to your shoes?"

Correction: Carl asks, "FRIEND, what happened to your shoes?"

Corrected entry: How did Edward afford all those daffodils? He had no money when he started work at the circus, and he worked there for free for a couple of months.

Correction: Perhaps Amos loaned/gave him the money.

Continuity mistake: When the young Edward Bloom is in church and is growing at a quick pace, you see his buttons fly off and hit the woman in front of him in the back of the head. She then turns around and his buttons are back. (00:19:25)

Question: The end credits say that BLUE'S CLUES and DORA THE EXPLORER are referenced and the "References" in the movie's IMDb page say that Edward was watching them on TV, but when did he? I don't see clips of either show.
