Mistakes

In the boat with the golden fish, the sign next to the fish says that you must stick your finger in the fish's mouth, then turn around until you "face south". Later, Tony sticks his finger in the fish's mouth and doesn't make any turning motion, yet he still gets the golden touch ability. See more...

Entry I'm confused about how Snow White is Wendell's grandmother. The queen mentions her wedding, but Wolf says that dwarves brought her body to the hill in Kissingtown, in case a prince can wake her. She must have gotten married and had a child if Wendell is her grandson, so why is her body still at the hill? [The dwarves brought her to Kissingtown after she ate the poisoned apple the queen gave her to wait for a prince to come and save her. It's only after she is kissed that she awakens, marries the prince and then has her children. The scene with Virginia in the cave is a vision and not real. Snow White (or her ghost in fairy godmother form as she called it) is there to help Virginia stay strong and complete her journey by giving her advice and help.]
Entry Not a very important detail, but how old is Virginia? At first I thought she is 20, because Tony mentions that he raised her for 20 years (when they are arguing after he drops the mirror off the roof of the building). However, at the beginning of the movie, she makes a comment about how it is pathetic that she still lives with her dad. It doesn't seem like such a big deal for a 20-year-old to still live at home. [I think that Tony says 20 years because it's been 20 years since Virginia's mother left them. In the flashbacks, Virginia looks to be around 6-8 years old meaning that she is living with her father when she is around 26-28 years old.]
Entry In the swamp, why does Tony hear a song he knows very well, and Virginia hear an animal (wolf?) howling? [They're both hearing things that they miss. Tony misses being back in his own world, so he hears a song that he knows from there. Virginia hears a wolf howling because she misses Wolf.]
Entry Why does Tony hear horses galloping every time his bad luck strikes again? [It's the sound of his bad luck coming.]
Entry After Tony turned Prince and the trolls into gold, what happened to his ability to turn things into gold? Could it only be used once? [Yes, you only get to use it once, I think it mentions it on the plaque on the front of the tank "the first thing you touch will be gold" or something like that. If not it says it in the book so maybe that's where I got it from.]
Entry Is there any meaning behind the girl who tells Virginia her fortune (in Kissingtown), other than the fact that what she says comes true? Virginia asks "How did she know that?" as if there's something else. [The little girl is Snow White in disguise, helping the travellers in their quest. "How did she know?" is because the little girl knew what they were looking for, even though no-one had told her.]
Entry Is the blind woodsman from a fairy tale or is there some kind of joke about him? [The woodsman makes Tony guess his name, which is what Rumplestiltskin does to the princess in the fairy tale of the same name. Don't know why he's blind, though.]
Entry After the dog and Prince Wendell have been switched, why does the Queen even care about having the dog (who is really Prince)? She doesn't know that Tony can talk to him, so as far as she knows, no one can understand the dog at all. Why would she be concerned? [Because if Wendell and the switched dog somehow came in contact with each other then they would switch back. She does not want to risk this happening.]
