During the opening song where the Gogans are chasing Pete, they are in a forested area with lots of mud and different gradients, evergreens and no evidence of apple trees. Pete hides in a split log and wakes up in the same place, but he steps out into a orchard/meadow with lots of space between trees, different tree species and completely dry. [He doesn't wake up in the same place. Elliot moved him and the log some time during the night. Notice how when Pete wakes up, he looks around and doesn't recognize the area.]

When Nora, her father, and Pete are cleaning the lighthouse and signing that "Brazzle-Dazzle" song. After they rip up their rags, watch their clothes. They head down the lighthouse and once they come out of the bottom door, they're wearing totally different clothes. [That wasn't a mistake. It was intended to show that time passed and they cleaned themselves up after cleaning the lighthouse.]
