Continuity: When the evil king's female assistant is "turned into" Odette, and Prince Derek is dancing with her near the end, he puts the locket on her. The chain goes around her hair, and in the next shot, it's under her hair. They were dancing the whole time, so how could she or Derek have pulled her hair out of the chain?

The Swan Princess (1994) - 11 mistakes
These mistakes are currently being ordered by time. Entries without times will appear at the end.
Continuity: When Uberta is telling Derek about the ball, she is standing by a large door. When she says that the ball is only a few friends and their daughters, she is standing right next to the door. When she turns around to tell the short footman that she wants the ball to be big, she and the footman are instantly farther down the hall and not beside the door as in the previous shot.
Continuity: When the musicians are being shot at, Derek taps his arrow holder with one of his arrows and the edge of it goes red, when we get a shot further away the red mark is gone and it's as clean as ever.
Other: When Derek and co are 'shooting' the musicians dressed as animals, Derek shoots at his foot to show that they are harmless. AS the arrows are covered in red powder, surely his foot would go red? After all, every shot at the musicians made them get a red mark.
Continuity: When Prince Derek is leaning over Odette's body right at the end when she is dead, he stands up and says that the vow he made was for her. In the next shot he is kneeling, and in the next one he is getting up into a standing position again.
Continuity: Derek rides furiously to get to Odette after King William's captain informs them they were attacked, he arrives and immediately leaps off his horse. In the next shot (as well as a later wide shot) his horse is gone, and never comes back.
Continuity: In the scene at Derek's library, when Queen Uberta comes to remind Derek of the ball, she is holding letters in her left hand. When Derek tells her he can't go, her lips start quivering and she puts both her hands up to her mouth without the letters in either of the hands. In the next shot, however, the letters reappear.
Continuity: After Derek kills the Great Animal, he kneels in front of Odet and cradles her in his arms. Look closely at his cape. The rip in the back of it changes positions between shots.
Continuity: Toward of the end of the film when the evil lady is dressed as Odette, when she enters the castle a small man opens the door. She winks at him, then walks in. As she is going down the stairs we can no longer see the man.
Other: At the ball when Derek's mother is going on about who Odette is, all the guests are frozen statues. They make no move at all.
Continuity: When Derek and Bromley are playing "Catch and Fire", Rodgers ties the apple on top of Bromley's head and then puts the helmet on Bromley. When he puts the helmet on him, the apple magically ends up on top of the helmet with no evidence that the helmet had a space to facilitate that.
