A Little Princess (1995) - 10 mistakes

Continuity: The pictures of Sara's parents in the locket switch places throughout the movie.

Continuity: When Sara is first put in the attic as a servant, she has a long candle with no wax dripping. She puts the candle in a holder and it is short with a lot of wax on it, then the candle is long again.

Audio problem: There are several times throughout the film when Miss Minchin is playing her harp and her finger movements does not match with what we hear.

Continuity: When Sara first goes into the attic, she starts to draw a circle around her with a piece of chalk. When she starts the circle, she starts drawing next to the candle. When she completes the circle, the candle is now inside the circle. If you look at the lines on the floor when she finishes, you can see that she did not go around the candle.

Continuity: In the scene where Sara is introduced to Monsieur DeFarge and the girls in French, we can see Monsieur pull out a teacup as Miss Minchin crosses the desk to the other side of the room. However, when the camera cuts back to Sara, we see him pulling out the teacup again.

Revealing: When Miss Minchin is telling Sara how her dad has died, a black balloon pops. If you watch closely, something is thrownat the balloon.

Continuity: When Sarah and Becky are in the attic imagining their muffin banquet, the candles on the table are melted nearly down to the nub, until the last shot of them in this scene in which they are full length candles burning tall.

Continuity: During Sara's birthday party, she gets a blindfold tied over her eyes. When it was first tied, one end is long (about two feet) and the other short (about 6 inches). In a couple of shots later, the short end is only about 2 inches long. How did it get shorter?

Revealing: When Sara and Ms. Mingin are fighting in the attic, it is night time, yet there is light coming through the cracks of the attic.

Continuity: At one point the Head Mistress gets mad at Sarah in the attic and when she leaves a candelabra, the height of the candles change from shot to shot.
