Cinderella (1950) - 15 mistakes

Continuity: As Cinderella descends the staircase after her wedding to The Prince, she is obviously wearing a long sleeved gown. When she waves through the window of the carriage, however, the gown is short sleeved.

Continuity: When Cinderella enters her stepmother's room after the mouse under the teacup incident, she closes the door behind her. Her shadow is thrown on the door behind her, yet in the next shot, when she nears the bed, her shadow is shown distinctly on it.

Revealing: The stepmother's arm disappears for a split second when she tells her daughters that there is still a chance for them to become the princess.

Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, where Cindy opens the drapes outside of her stepsisters' bedrooms, you can see a slight stutter in her walk just as she reaches for the drapes. Looks like a camera mistake - the cels were out of sequence there.

Continuity: When Jack and Gus come out of the trap and go to Cinderella, we see that her right hand is on her right leg. But in the next shot both her hands are holding the shirt Gus is going to get.

Continuity: When the stepsisters are trying on the glass slipper, the shape of the stepmother's pocket, which is holding the key to Cinderella's room, changes between shots. The bottom of the pocket is flat in one shot, and pointed in another.

Continuity: When Anastatia runs into the stepmother's room because of the mouse-under-the-teacup incident, she just shoves the door open without using the door handle. But when Cinderella goes in after her, she has to turn the handle.

Revealing: When Cinderella is about to be locked in her room by the stepmother Cinderella sees her in the mirror. The image in the mirror is a reverse image not a mirror image. The door is seen opening on the wrong side.

Continuity: When Cinderella ascends the stairs with three breakfast trays, Gus is under the cup in her right hand tray. That right hand tray (with Gus) is dropped off in the first of the three rooms in order, which is Drizella's room. When screams are eventually heard and Lucifer runs to catch Gus, they come from the second (middle) door, which is Anastasia's room and it's Anastasia who had the mouse.

Audio problem: After Cinderella has run away from the Prince and everything goes back to normal, she discovers that the Fairy Godmother has left her with a single glass shoe. She then proceeds to thank the Fairy Godmother.she says "Thank you so much.for everything." When she says "for", her mouth doesn't move correctly.her mouth is supposed to close in order to say the beginning "f" part, but it remains open, so it looks like she's actually saying "hor" instead of "for".

Continuity: When the stepmother is saying good night to Cinderella after the dress was destroyed, she has her hand on the door handle. The handle goes from pointing down to normal again in a single frame.

Continuity: When Cinderella goes into the room to get the cat she is at the door in the hall way and opens it in one direction, the next scene shows the cat on a cushion with the light from the hallway going in the oppisite direction.

Other: In the scene where Gus and Jaq are trying to get the blue beads from Lucifer, Gus runs into the wall with the beads and the strand breaks, even frame by frame you can't see a string holding the beads together.

Deliberate "mistake": In the famous sequence where the pumpkin turns into a carriage, the fairy godmother stands behind it waving her wand and doing the magic. First mistake: After the transformation, the fairy godmother is stuck in freeze frame with her hands up in the air for the entire time when Cinderella is saying how lovely the carriage is. Another mistake occurs when it cuts to the fairy godmother (after the freeze frame), because her arms are suddenly down and she is moving and talking to Cinderella.

Continuity: The Fairy Godmother turns the four mice into horses. When they change back three of the mice are the same, but one is different. It goes from Jaq, Gus and the twin mice to Jaq, Gus, one of the twins, and the little mouse.
