Mistake Deliberate "mistake": Fritz rescues the mud-trapped zebra and Roberta rides it across the island to the tree house, then again later in the race. Zebras, however, cannot be domesticated or ridden. To film these scenes, Disney & Co. painted a white horse with zebra stripes. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Mistake Continuity: The number of pirates assaulting the hillside keeps changing. There are hundreds of them, then fewer than thirty, then hundreds again. In many scenes, in fact, there are far more pirates than could possibly fit aboard their one small ship. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Mistake Factual error: The pirates should have been crushed by the pile of rolling logs, but they just keep coming. No dead bodies, no blood, no guts, but hey, it's Disney. Submitted by marfbody

Mistake Continuity: In the beginning when it is raining down on everyone, you get a clear view of the mother's wet, mussed hair. In the next scene, however, it is perfectly dry and in place.

Mistake Revealing: In the scene where the logs are rolling down onto the pirates, you are given views of what's happening beneath the logs. Look closely at a pair of flailing feet. The pirate is wearing modern hiking boots.
