An American Tail (1986)

Continuity mistake: When Fievel is wandering the streets alone, he finds a small piece of cheese on the ground. But the number of holes in the cheese changes with every shot, right before it gets snatched up by another passerby. (00:30:20)

Continuity mistake: During the car chase sequence involving Jamal's cruiser and Klaus & Claudia's Rolls Royce, the Rolls Royce makes a narrow escape at the intersection's red light. Jamal can't get through in time so he skids to a stop, leaving behind no tire tracks on the pavement. In the next shot, however, two pairs of skid marks are now visible right where they should be (although one frame too late). (01:08:35)

Audio problem: When the Chipmunks and Chipettes escape from Klaus and Claudia via the luggage chute, Claudia shouts "Come back here" yet her teeth are clenched and lips don't move throughout. (01:06:40)

Continuity mistake: After Eddie questions what happened with Earl, his friend with a notepad writes "Laid off." But he grips the pad in a different manner between shots. Note the position of his index finger when he shows Eddie the message. (00:11:35)

An American Tail (1986)

Continuity mistake: During the rally at Mausheimer Park, Fievel steps up to the podium and whispers a plan into Gussie's megaphone. When Honest John asks to hear it, Gussie can be seen holding the megaphone's handle with three fingers as she speaks to him. But once the shot changes, she suddenly has only two fingers on the handle. (00:45:20)

An American Tail (1986)

Continuity mistake: After Fievel sinks his teeth into Warren T. Rat's left arm from behind a mirror, he howls in pain. In this shot, the reflection of Warren T.'s teeth isn't reversed like it should be. (00:51:25)

An American Tail (1986)

Revealing mistake: During "Never Say Never" Henri instructs Chantal to fly Fievel to immigration where he should be able to find his family. At one point during this shot, Henri's right wing casts no shadow on the Statue of Liberty - only an outline of the wing's shadow is visible. (00:23:25)

The Lion King (1994)

Revealing mistake: One shot before Simba and Nala exchange lines on either side of Zazu during "I Just Can't Wait to Be King", Simba leaps to the opposite edge of a small pool of water. But notice how Zazu has been animated with a completely translucent reflection and, here, we can see the image of Simba right through him, which shouldn't happen. (00:15:35)

Visible crew/equipment: When Pee-Wee takes one last look at the snake aquarium, a crew member can be seen moving around in a reflection on the glass. (01:19:20)

An American Tail (1986)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Fievel speaks to Tony for the first time about finding his family, he jumps up from the lower bunk bed and walks towards the window with a plan in mind. But between shots, several things change: Tony is awoken when Fievel accidentally kicks the top bunk (whereas he was fully alert and talking in the previous shot), clothespins holding the bunks together suddenly become wrapped in string around their centers, an orphan mouse appears from nowhere - sleeping by the window, and Fievel instantly switches from lying face down to belly before jumping out of bed. (00:28:50)

An American Tail (1986)

Continuity mistake: When Henri and Fievel land upon the Statue of Liberty during "Never Say Never", the statue's tablet is positioned right up against the cloak. But one shot later the tablet is extended far out into the air instead. (00:22:10)

Audio problem: In the shot where Dodger dissolves his partnership with Oliver and jumps into a large concrete pipe which gets hoisted into the air, Oliver shouts "But wait," but his mouth makes no movement at all. (00:09:05)

The Lion King (1994)

The Lion King mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Before Simba and Nala tumble downhill into the elephant graveyard, Simba pounces on Nala but ends up getting pinned to the ground. At first she has her paws on his chest, but when the shot changes she holds him down by the upper arms instead. (00:17:50)

Continuity mistake: After Jenny's limo pulls away with Oliver still inside, Francis can be seen with the other strays near a garbage pile. He's got a toilet seat wrapped around his head, but he keeps disappearing from it between shots as Tito explains what happened. (00:32:00)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Fagin approaches Sykes with an airtight plan to repay the money he owes, watch how the office door shade in the background pulls itself up at one point. In addition, the word 'office' appears on the door for a brief time, only to disappear in the midst of Dodger's fight with Roscoe and DeSoto. (00:51:40)
