Suggested correction: Archimedes was trying to be helpful when he pointed out the sword so Merlin could take it to the tournament. But after it became a big issue with the rays from heaven and the legend, Archimedes thought he might get in trouble so tried to act innocent by fibbing. It was deliberate and in character, not a character mistake.

You mean Arthur. Merlin was in Bermuda.

Halloweentown picture

Character mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Marnie states that she is 13 years old. When Grandma Aggie comes to visit, she tells Mom that it is Marnie's 13th Halloween. Since everyone celebrates their first Halloween before they turn one, if Marnie is 13 the events of this movie would occur on her 14th Halloween, meaning her powers would have faded by now.

Hotel Transylvania picture

Character mistake: When Dracula puts Johnny on a time-out, it is shown that Dracula has the ability of psychokinesis. Yet during the scene when Mavis visits the human village, when one of the dressed up zombies loses its head, Dracula jumps into the scene to physically put the head back to its body, further risking being spotted by Mavis, which he wanted to avoid.

Suggested correction: Using this power would also be a risk of Mavis finding out because his magic has blue effects around which she would spot.

I doubt that, she was facing the opposite direction of the headless zombie the entire time, and the zombie didn't stand too close to her. However, I have realised that the magic does seem to make sound, and the headless zombie did stand close enough to Mavis for her to would have heard Dracula's magic if he were to have used it.

Rassdyt

Even with the sound, I doubt she would have noticed when there are what looks like villagers approaching her with pitchforks and torches.

Suggested correction: Dracula's psychokinesis-magic makes sound, if he were to have used it to put the zombie's head back to its body, Mavis would be likely to have heard it, revealing Dracula.

iCarly: iGo to Japan picture

Character mistake: When Sam pushes Freddie off the plane, his mother puts on the parachute and jumps out as well. She is in such a hurry, that she doesn't buckle the straps across the front. In real life, as soon as the parachute is deployed, the resistance would cause the parachute to come off and she would likely fall to her death.
