Corrected entry: In the scene where Allie is a nurse taking care of the wounded, the narrator says something like, "To Allie all the wounded men were just Noah to her or someone who had fought alongside him." How would Allie know that Noah was in the war when obviously she hasn't gotten any of his letters or had any contact with him since that one tragic night?

The Little Mermaid (1989)
Corrected entry: Ursula is actually a squid. She has six legs not eight.
Correction: She is a octopus because of her 6 legs and 2 arms.

Toy Story 3 (2010)
Corrected entry: When Woody goes back to Sunnyside Daycare to save his friends, he goes from the butterfly room, where they were first put, to the caterpillar room. Woody had left his friends before they were transferred to the caterpillar room, so he would have no way of knowing that they were not in the original butterfly room where he had left them.
Correction: Woody is with his friends in the caterpillar room taking the tour of it before he left with buzz and the gang. He escapes from the caterpillar room when bonnie's mom comes to find her. That is how he knows where they are.

The Little Mermaid (1989)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Ariel is struggling to walk, but then suddenly out of the blue she is able to run away from max.
Correction: It's plausible that she was a fast learner to walking. Ariel's motivation to learn to walk changed quickly as she feared the dog. "Fight or Flight" response resulted in her becoming a very quick study and she found the way to run away from the dog - note that she does not run far or very fast, in keeping with her newly acquired skill of flight.

Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure (2001)
Corrected entry: How could Jim Dear and Darling know Tramp's name was Tramp?
Correction: The name tramp is given to any dog that doesnt have a home, so because Tramp didn't have a home they called him Tramp.

Juno (2007)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Juno and Paulie are making out by the track, Paulie's hand is in his sweatshirt pocket then the shot changes and his hand is now around Juno's waist without enough time for it to have moved that far.
Correction: No, in a close up shot on her waist you can see him doing it.

The Little Mermaid (1989)
Corrected entry: When Ursula is Vanessa and turns into her sea form, Eric is in his wedding suit. Then he is in the life boat paddling out to save Ariel in his normal clothes. When someone you love is in dire need of help, you wouldn't stop and change clothes first.
Correction: The trousers have yellow stripes on their sides, which shows that he is still in his wedding suit. He just might have gotten rid of the jacket, which is quite understandable if someone intends to swim.

The Little Mermaid (1989)
Corrected entry: In the beginning when the fish squirms out of the fisherman's hands and dives into the water, the fish exhales out his mouth. Fish inhale through their mouths and exhale through their gills.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
Corrected entry: In the scene when they are in the elevator they are falling onto the sides of it, yet no more buttons are being pushed in doing so.
Correction: This is because they only fall against the sides, and the sides have no buttons, which reveals an alternate mistake, because when we first saw the elevator there WERE buttons on the sides, but from then onwards (inculding when the passengers slam up against the walls) the buttons have disappeared from the sides, therefore making it impossible for them to press any.

Mulan II (2004)
Corrected entry: In the first movie when Mulan is singing "Reflections" you see a profile shot of her face. In this movie you see a profile shot of her face again and she looks very different.
Correction: The artists who worked on the film may have simply chosen to draw her slightly different to keep with the visual style of this film. It is after all a cartoon, and animation styles often change.

Mulan (1998)
Corrected entry: How in the world would Mulan be able to have a cricket cage that was just put underneath a bit of cloth be able to stay even when she is climbing on top of tables and running around the room to put out the matchmaker?
Correction: How in the world does a cricket have the ability to jump back into the cage and close the door? Much of what is seen is purely for the humor of this animated movie, it is artistic license.

Mulan (1998)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Mulan wipes off her make up while she is singing, her lipstick comes off easily, but it should have smeared on her face.
Correction: In reality it would have but it doesn't have to if this is a cartoon.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
Corrected entry: In the scene when Willy is with the chief Oompa Loompa and is eating the slug things, Willy Wonka sticks out his tongue and you can see the green dye has stained it from previous takes. Since we see his uncertainty and then revulsion, it's safe to assume that he's not eaten them before.
Correction: Wonka also states that the Oompa-Loompas use different things to try to make the larvae edible. It is possible that he HAD tried the larvae before, in their natural state (after all, he was there looking for new, exotic tastes for candy), and that the bowl he was handed by the chief was with some added "condiment" but still tasted horrible. This would explain why Wonka at first is reluctant to try the food, and his repulsion to it.

Mulan (1998)
Corrected entry: How would the rest of the Huns (after the avalanche) be able to beat Mulan to the Imperial City when they only have two feet and Mulan has a horse?
Correction: The Huns are closer to the city than Mulan is and they know the city very well. They most likely know a shortcut to get to the city because if they didn't and went the way Mulan did they would have been spotted.

Mulan (1998)
Corrected entry: How in the world would all of the bad guys in the dragon costume know the routine or something like it? They would have to know some kind of routine because if the didn't then they would be going in all different directions and people would be pretty suspicious.
Correction: It is possible those huns have had previous experience so they know the routine.

The Sword in the Stone (1963)
Corrected entry: The legend of King Arthur is set (loosely) around the early 6th century. Merlin wears glasses, but these weren't invented until around the late 1280s.
Correction: Merlin has incredible wisdom and knowledge, so maybe he independently invented glasses. Plus, it is made very clear in this movie that Merlin is capable of time travel, and has visited the twentieth century, acquiring modern scientific knowledge which he can use to great effect in the time of King Arthur. Even during the movie he declares that he is going to Bermuda, at which point he disappears from the film. In the final five minutes Merlin re-appears in a twentieth century surfer's costume and talks about life in the twentieth century. So he could quite easily have gone to an opticians, had an eye test and acquired spectacles during one of his travels to the future. Plus, one of the leading characters of The Sword In The Stone is a talking owl, who can hold conversations with humans. I don't think there were any talking owls during the Middle Ages, so maybe this film should not be regarded as accurate history.
Correction: He states that he is also a time traveller.

The Little Mermaid (1989)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Ariel is watching the people on the ship Ariel says to Scuttle "Not that one, the one playing the snarfblat." (Snarfblat is a pipe) the person that Ariel would be talking about (Eric) doesn't have a snarfblat, and even if she was talking about Grimsby (who does have a pipe later on in the movie) who at that point in time he doesn't have one ether.

Mulan (1998)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Mushu breaks the Great Stone Dragon, he hits the statue with his banger thing, breaks off an ear, then he hears the crumbling sound of rock cracking, next the camera shows us a wide shot of the statue crumbling, in that scene the statue crumbles from the bottom up when Mushu had obviously hit it from the top, so the top portion should crumble into hundred of pieces not the bottom.
Correction: If the bottom of the statue had a weakness and not the top, it's normal it should have crumbled this way, notwithstanding the place where it was hit. Besides, this is a cartoon, and that's often how things collapse.
22nd Mar 2005
Mulan (1998)
Corrected entry: At the end when Granny Fa says, "She brings home a sword. If you ask me she should've brought home a man." The voice says "Man" but the lips say Ma. The lips don't say the N.
Correction: She actually cut herself off when she heard Li Shang's voice - she said "Ma..." It was a comedic effect.
Correction: When she says, "...man.", you should not even see her lips form the letter 'n', as she speaks, it is her tongue that creates the 'n' sound. Try it yourself.
8th Mar 2005
The Core (2003)
Corrected entry: In the scene where the black shows up on the screen someone I think Aaron Eckhart says that he had never taught the computer how to read crystals (I think it was). So if the computer doesn't know how to read them then why would they even show up?
Correction: The computer recognised the crystals as black. It was the empty space of the cavern which the computer couldn't read, and it showed up on the screen as static (background noise)
