Dumbo (1941) - 10 mistakes

Continuity: When the elephants in the circus are making a pyramid on top of a ball, as it changes from shot to shot the colour of the blankets on their backs changes.

Continuity: The number of elephants change constantly throughout the movie. Especially when the ringmaster introduces the elephant pyramid act, and there are 8 elephants in the ring, yet the finished pyramid only has 7.

Continuity: At the end of "When I See an Elephant Fly," the crows laugh and tumble to the ground. In the two shots of them laughing on the ground, you can see a crow dressed in red and pink with a cigar in his mouth on the left side of the screen. This crow plus the four other crows in the shot PLUS the leader of the crows equals six crows. Throughout the rest of the sequence, there are only five crows, and the extra crow is never seen again.

Continuity: The same shot of the two elephants holding each other's trunks when the pyramid of elephants starts to collapse is shown twice.

Continuity: The letter "D" on Dumbo's flag changes color from blue to black throughout the pyramid scene.

Revealing: When Mr. Stork is on the cloud and he looks down on Florida, you can see the cloud through his beak.

Revealing: When the stork is walking on top of the train looking for Mrs. Jumbo, there are clouds moving in the background. After the bear or whatever roars at the stork, a cloud moves to the right of the picture and finally goes off screen- except for the very tip of it. The tip of the cloud stays on screen, even though the clouds before it were moving at an even pace.

Continuity: About halfway through the pyramid scene, an elephant with red on her back and a red hat is being held around the neck by another elephant. The elephant wearing red suddenly falls and dips out of frame, and another elephant grabs her by the tail and pulls her up. When the elephant comes back into the frame, her entire array of clothing has changed to blue! This is especially obvious because the shot never changes while this mistake happens.

Deliberate "mistake": While the mouse is listening to "Baby Mine," watch his eyes. During one shot, I think it's the first one of him swaying back and forth and smiling, the white around his pupils suddenly turns to gray.

Deliberate "mistake": While the mouse is walking on Dumbo's trunk, there is a jump in the animation. He's facing Dumbo at one point, then all of the sudden he is in a different position and is facing the other way (this all occurring in the same shot). Look for it before the mouse says, "Dumbo, the great!"
