Batman: Hush picture Video

Revealing mistake: After successful surgery, Bruce's friend shows him the first page of a newspaper with the headline about the news, "The National Whisper." The 'date' is "November 2016", which is a bit odd (a monthly newspaper?), but even better is the fact that it just sports obvious gibberish all over. The title of the boxed article is "Geiare la goer uoa oge ou osgeou osd ogoernis pgoer aoubepre obieri ai beiragoer." (00:17:15)

The same still frame image is also repeated two shots later. (00:27:35)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame picture

Revealing mistake: At the start of the montage in which Frollo ransacks Paris for the gypsy girl, the shot of the three soldiers kicking down the baker's door very briefly places the more distant soldier off to the right "in front" of the closer central soldier; this is a case of incorrect animation cel layering.
