Quantom X

Continuity mistake: When Marie is putting Nutcracker in the china cabinet, and is startled by the sound of a owl, she looks over at the grandfather clock with an owl on it. The clock face is not fully round, looking slightly squashed in an oval shape. It has a loop on top that makes it look like a round combination lock that does not go to the top of the clock. And the rest of the face of the clock around it is smooth. When it cuts to a close up of the clock, the face of the clock is now perfectly round, and the loop stretches up to the top of the wood almost on the clock. Also a square indention appears around the clock.

Continuity mistake: When Marie and Fritz run up to where Drosselmeier’s gift is for them, the shot shows it by the window with red curtains. When it cuts to a close up of the kids, the folds and ruffles at the top of the curtain suddenly become more elaborate. As well as more layers appearing.

Continuity mistake: At the very end, after the Nutcracker has turned back into a human, he and Marie are dancing at the Marzipan Castle and she puts her head on his chest. When she does this, her hands go to his shoulders as they spin, and her hand keeps moving to either side of the ruffle on his shoulder.

Continuity mistake: At the end when Drosselmeier introduces his nephew, they walk in and the doors they are by are a light grayish blue. But when it cuts to a close up, the doors are an orangish brown.

Continuity mistake: Earlier in the film before the mouse army attacks, the toy soldiers are shown to have all their eyes looking to their right. This is before the magic spell was put on them to bring them to life, so they were made with their eyes looking right. But at the end of the film when the toy soldiers are in the China cabinet with Nutcracker, all their eyes are facing forward. The toys return to their original state when the spell wears off, even Nutcracker, so their eyes should still be facing right.

Factual error: Many times in the film, the Nutcracker is shown to be standing at rest, but with its mouth open. It is at rest with nobody touching it, so its handle/lever would be in the down position by gravity. Yet the Nutcracker’s mouth is open. If a nutcracker is sitting at rest with the handle down, the mouth should be closed.

Continuity mistake: Marie sits up and says "Mother, I had the most wonderful time last night." The first shot shows her fold her arms with her sheet under her arms. It cuts to a close up and suddenly more of the sheet is exposed up her belly.

Continuity mistake: After her romantic dance night with the Nutcracker, Marie finds herself in bed and has one arm up on the pillow, and the other out beside her. As the camera changes and her dad says “Well she’s finally waking up” her other arm is suddenly up on the pillow as well.

Continuity mistake: Nutcracker and Marie dock their boat and get out and the Nutcracker’s sisters run out crying. There are some large candy canes on each side of the dock, 4 on the right side and 5 on the left. The camera cuts to a side view as his sisters begin hugging him, the candy canes are suddenly in different angles and heights. Also there are more. 7 on the right side, and 6 or 7 on the left.

Other mistake: When in the Swan boat, Marie has her arm hanging out with her fingers dragging the water, making waves. She is lying down and back in the boat, with a wing obstructing her view. Yet somehow the reflections of the waves show her face, perpendicular to the boat. Not parallel like her face actually is to the boat, and also somehow reflecting her face despite both a swan wing being in the way, and her being down in the boat out of view of those waves.

Continuity mistake: When you first see the Swan boat going down the river with Nutcracker pushing it along with the pole, he is rocking back and forth and you see that he is behind the large swan wings. But in the next shot, he is in front of the wings as he pushes.

Revealing mistake: Marie and Nutcracker go down the river in a swan shaped boat, and Nutcracker is standing up on the back moving the boat along with large pole. In the water, you can see the reflection of the boat and Marie the way they are supposed to be. But the reflection of Nutcracker is not moving, and the pole is not reflected.

Continuity mistake: After the fruit people fall down, the camera pans over to a Christmas tree with lots of large red ornaments on it. You see The Nutcracker’s reflection come up on one as they move closer, and the reflection shows he has his arm outstretched pointing at something. The camera then cuts back to show Nutcracker and Marie, but his arm is not extended. He then lifts his arm to point.

Continuity mistake: Nutcracker and Marie walk by some large suckers as he says "We’re not in your closet anymore, Marie. We’re in Christmas Wood." There a lots of giant suckers to their right. The angle changes as they walk, and suddenly there is only one sucker where they just came from.

Audio problem: The Nutcracker pulls on a string in Marie’s wardrobe and a letter lowers from a sleeve of one of her dresses. Nutcracker grabs it and turns back saying “Hurry! Everyone will be waiting.” The dialog is not at all in sync with his mouth at this part. You hear him speak, and he almost finishes the line before his moves begin to move. Then once the audio stops, you see his mouth continue to move like he still speaks for a bit.

Continuity mistake: When Marie takes the Mouse King’s crowns off the Nutcracker’s sword, the camera cuts to behind the Nutcracker once they come off, and suddenly his sword becomes twice as thick.

Audio problem: After the Nutcracker kills the Seven Headed Mouse King and knocks on the bedroom door, Marie goes to open it. But you hear the sounds of the door creak opening a half second before her hand even touches the handle.

Quantom X ★

Continuity mistake: During their fight, the Seven Headed Mouse King knocks the Nutcracker’s sword away and the Nutcracker escapes by grabbing the draw string of the curtains and swings up to a small table. The Mouse King looks up at him a moment, right next to the draw string, very close to the table. He then runs towards it. The shot cuts to a different angle and suddenly he is much further away, running towards the table.

Continuity mistake: During their final fight, the Mouse King knocks the Nutcracker back against the wall and prepares to finish him off. The Nutcracker counters by grabbing the rug the Mouse King is standing on and tripping him, leaving the rug wrinkled and messy. A few shots later, the rug is suddenly perfectly placed on the floor again.

Continuity mistake: When Marie is shown waking up to the sounds of the sword fight, there is a shelf like mantel thing on the wall beside her with items on top. A bit later when she gets up to go see, the mantel becomes thinner and the items on top squeezed closer together.
