Suggested correction: Actually, the ice is still there, it's just out of view.

While it is out of view, that would mean it'd be visible in the reflection of the TV screen when it turns off. But it isn't. Therefore, it does disappear.

The only thing that can be seen when the television turns off is a very faint reflection of Gru. It is impossible to tell if the ice is or isn't there.

Yeah, though ice is just not in the camera view.

Continuity mistake: When Gru is explaining his plan to the minions, one of them takes out a torpedo and fires. The torpedo is held by one of the taller minions at first, but after the torpedo has fired and Gru says "Hey, Dave", we can see the torpedo was held by one of the smaller minions.

Suggested correction: The minion holding the torpedo was a small one all along. The taller one is probably just one in the crowd. If you look closely when the minions grab their weapons, Dave, the one who held it in the first place, is a short minion holding a torpedo.

Corrected entry: When Vector is bragging to himself in his bathroom after stealing the shrink ray, he fires it at the sink. The sink shrinks, but there should be water spraying out of the pipes. There is none. Same thing with the toilet.

Correction: The metal bends to accommodate the change between affected and non-affected parts of the pipe system without breaking. The same physics are demonstrated when Gru's ship is hit by the shrink ray. The ship shrinks in sections without breaking apart. Neither the toilet nor the sink should have broken pipes.
