Continuity mistake: Level 14 "Big Super Happy Fun Fun Game" cutscene: When Milhouse hands over the keycard to Homer, he's holding it out upside-down, but in the next shot the keycard is rightside-up while he's still holding it out to Homer, but it's upside-down again when Homer takes it.

The Simpsons Game (2007)

The Simpsons Game mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Level 15 "Five Characters in Search of an Author" cutscene: When Marge and her family walk over to Matt Groening, who's lying on the floor, we see that Marge has nothing on her back, but when Matt thanks Marge for saving him the empty baby carrier is now on Marge's back, though it vanishes again when Matt kneels in front of Lisa. As an aside, the baby carrier has two shoulder straps and a waist strap, but after Matt's escape when the carrier reappears on Marge the shoulder straps are gone, so it's pretty bizarre that Maggie could stay put in it.

The Simpsons Game mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Level 16 "Game Over" cutscene: When Bart grabs the save games and threatens to destroy it, we see the front labeled "Memo: Planet Earth..." and the back is blank, then when Bart holds it up the front is facing forward, but in the next shot the label faces the opposite way, note Bart's thumb.

Lonesome Ghosts (1937)

Lonesome Ghosts mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Goofy searches through the dresser drawers one of the ghosts causes trouble, then Goofy breaks through the top of the dresser and winds up trapped inside, but when all four ghosts appear the dresser top is perfectly fine and that damage has vanished. Also, two of the drawers (one large and one small) fall out of the dresser, but as the four ghosts are pushing the dresser those two drawers have reappeared in their proper places.

Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Mickey hides Pluto in his suitcase, the entire handle to the suitcase breaks off and Mickey tosses away the handle. This handle reappears unbroken when Mickey takes Pluto out of the suitcase and then quickly hides him again, though it's broken again in following shots. Then at the end, when Pete tosses both suitcases off the train Mickey's suitcase has the broken handle, but when it lands on Mickey and Pluto the handle reappears unscathed once again.

Continuity mistake: After Mickey hides Pluto in his suitcase in Burbank, Mickey picks up his cane and runs to the train, then when Mickey actually jumps onto the train caboose he's only carrying his suitcase, he does not have his cane, nor does he have Pluto's suitcase (which had been filled with bones) with him. The cane reappears on the train later, and at the end Pluto's suitcase mysteriously reappears when Pete throws it at the duo in Pomona.

The Greatest Showman mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: While Barnum and Phillip sing "The Other Side" Phillip uses two stools to get up and down from the bar top. When he steps down from the bar top, in this wideshot (also the first shot of them in the pub and other shots) the two upright stools Phillip used are secured with additional support, note the floor area underneath the stools' legs have the same pattern as the rest of the floor, though we can see the outline where the pattern's lines don't match up. Additionally, we also see three actors' marks (in the shape of an "L") on the floor in front of the bar, which will be where Barnum and Phillip will stand when they agree on the ten percent.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After the battle in the Hall of Prophecy, when Harry and the others land in the Death Chamber, Ginny is a good bit of distance away from Harry's feet in the side shot as they're all lying on the floor, but two shots later as they're starting to get up Ginny's head is now right beside Harry's knee.

The Little Mermaid mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At the start, when King Triton makes his appearance he's holding dolphin reins, and at first it's shown as two separate straps in Triton's hand as he tells Sebastian he's looking forward to the performance, but when Sebastian replies that it will be the finest concert he's ever conducted, Triton lets go of the rein and it's a single continuous strap.

Friends (1994)

The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Ross shows Chandler and Joey the can of "Carol's favorite beer" it's unopened as Ross makes a crack about how he "should have known," but in the next shot we see Ross lifting the can and drinking from it, even though he never actually pulled open the stay-tab between the two shots (viewed in widescreen). [In the extended version of the episode you see Ross open the can before taking a drink. In the standard version, the mistake is valid]. (00:09:55)

The Little Mermaid trivia picture

Trivia: When Scuttle discovers that Vanessa is actually Ursula, he sees Vanessa's true image reflected in the mirror, but the image we see in the mirror is not reversed, note Ursula's mole and her shell necklace are not backwards. This may be part of Ursula's magic, or simply an animation error, which is common (I believe it's the latter). (01:06:40)

Continuity mistake: While Louis is preparing the stuffed crab and then while he tries to kill Sebastian, the gold buckles on the chef's shoes appear, disappear, and reappear randomly. It happens again at the end, when Louis goes after Sebastian on the ship the gold buckles suddenly appear on the chef's shoes after his teeth are knocked out. (00:52:15)

The Little Mermaid mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Carlotta walks out of the kitchen with the dome covered dinner plates, when it cuts to the others in the dining room Grimsby has a plate in front of him, but in the next shot that plate has vanished just as Carlotta is about to place the dome covered plate in front of him. (00:54:45)

Continuity mistake: After Sebastian's "single most humiliating day" of his life, Ariel uses a dinglehopper with three prongs to comb her hair, but it has four prongs when she puts it down on the table, just before climbing into a bed for the first time. (00:55:45)

The Little Mermaid mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Carlotta goes to check on Louis she shouts his name, and in the first shot of Louis note the buttons on his shirt are on the proper side, but in the chef's closeup as he apologizes to Carlotta, his buttons are now on the opposite side. (00:54:35)

Continuity mistake: After Sebastian knocks over the bowl onto the chef's head, when Louis goes after Sebastian with the cleaver the style of the handle and the blade changes when Louis lifts the cleaver over his head and then chops the table. It happens again when the cleaver blade is rammed into the floor in front Sebastian, and in the next shot as Sebastian turns around the cleaver style has changed again. (00:54:10)
