Aladdin (1992) - 7 major mistakes
starring Frank Welker, Gilbert Gottfried, Linda Larkin, Robin Williams, Scott Weinger
Factual error: In the part of the movie where Aladdin and Jasmine are singing "A Whole New World" you see them pass in front of a full moon on the magic carpet, and then you see them pass over water, and the reflection is of a crescent moon. [Some people try and correct this, because they think the moon is in different phases depending on where in the world you are. Definitely not the case, as this site shows. Because the moon's always facing the earth, and its phase is determined by where the sun is in relation to it, it doesn't matter where you're standing.]
Continuity: When Aladdin is first speaking with Jasmine on the palace balcony dressed as Prince Ali. Genie's lamp is under Prince Ali's silk hat (during the point when Genie is a bee). Aladdin is threatened by Rajah and he removes his hat and holds it by the top center (open part facing down) to shoo away the tiger. The Genie lamp is not on his head or in the silk hat. Shortly thereafter, the Genie as a bee goes back into the lamp under his silk hat and it is plain to see how large the lamp is and that it would be impossible for it not to be seen with the hat off. Then Ali and Jasmine fly off on the "Magic Carpet Ride". After the ride, Jasmine, suspecting Ali is Aladdin, unexpectedly rips the hat off his head to reveal his hair. No lamp again. But when he returns to the palace and Ali is snatched by the guards, the lamp is under his hat when the hat falls off as he is thrown into the ocean.
