Father Ted (1995)

Correction: In a subsequent episode we are told that a storm 'took away the whole East side of the island'. Seems to me that the storms they get on Craggy Island wouldn't have much trouble shifting a tree a mile or two.

Chicken Run (2000)

Corrected entry: Mrs. Tweedy stops the malfunctioning pie machine by unplugging it. Yet later, as Mr. Tweedy repairs it, he tries to restart with the actions and sound effects of a machine powered by an internal combustion engine.

Correction: The electricity is for the starter motor. The machine also has a gas oven, hence uses electricity, diesel and gas (Still tired of making miniscule profits? This machine sounds expensive to me).

About a Boy (2002)

Corrected entry: Will says that because of spending Christmas with Marcus he met Rachel on New Year's Eve. Between those times, Marcus meets Ellie at school. This is kind of strange, as there is no school between Christmas and New Year's Eve.

Correction: Marcus had a crush on Ellie for quite a while before Will mentioned it, as you can see by the way he looks at her in previous scenes. It is quite likely that Marcus just did not mention it to Will until Christmas time.

A Bug's Life (1998)

Corrected entry: The ants often wear hats made of flowers. For them to wear these, the flowers would have to be tiny, nearly microscopic.

rabid anarchist

Correction: There are dozens of species of plants with 'tiny, microscopic' flowers. Besides, they could be pollen grains, which come in all sorts of shapes, often looking like 'flowers'.

Corrected entry: When Gaston tries to kiss Belle, and she opens the door, Gaston goes flying out into the mud in front of the house. But Belle's front door is on the side of the porch, not facing the mud.

rabid anarchist

Correction: This is because there are two doors to the house.

Billy Elliot (2000)

Correction: Actually this is just a washing line inside the kitchen, you can see clothes on it when they have a shot of Tony.
