Corrected entry: When Medusa is talking to Penny about being a good girl and going to get the diamond, she is taking off her make-up. She has one side of lipstick off, the right side. Then you see Penny. Then the shot goes back to Medusa and her lipstick on the left side is off, and it is on on the right side.
The Rescuers (1977)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Wolfgang Reitherman, Art Stevens, John Lounsbery
Starring: Bob Newhart, Eva Gabor, Geraldine Page, Joe Flynn
Continuity mistake: As Penny sneaks off, Brutus and Nero have collars on, with chains attached to the right side of their necks. In a reverse shot the chains are attached to the left side of their neck. (00:00:40)
TV Announcer: And because of a courageous little girl named Penny, the world's largest diamond, the Devil's Eye, is now at the Smithsonian Institute. But what's even more important, folks, this little orphan's dream has come true. Today, she's being adopted. And here she is with her new mother and father.
Trivia: In the Rescue Aid Society mouse organisation building, you can see a Mickey Mouse watch hanging on the walls.
Question: When Brutus and Nero return Penny to the riverboat after catching her while she tries to run away, what would have happened if Medusa was already at the riverboat by then instead searching the swamp in her swamp mobile?
Chosen answer: She may have been very upset with Penny for running away. But she may have also had a talk with her like she does much later in the movie about why she needs her for finding the diamond.

Correction: The first closeup shot is a shot facing the mirror. When we first see Medusa, it's into the mirror. Then the second time we see her, it's a wideshot, out of the mirror. Watch the towel wrapped around Medusa's head (like a turban). The end of the towel hangs out of the turban-like towel. In the closeup (mirror shot), the end of the towel hangs from the left. When we see her again, the end of the towel hangs out of the right side of the towel. The lipstick never swaps sides - one is a mirror view, the other isn't.
