Deliberate mistake: Before Dorothy is sent to Kansas there's a close-up of her shoes. All of the group's feet, Glinda's dress, and the rest of the elements around are gone and replaced by a black background. Despite being a deliberate directorial decision to give the shoes a more dramatic focus, it is really awkward to see everything disappear, nevertheless.
Deliberate mistake: When the house is splitting in two, the board game should have fallen long before it actually does. (01:25:25)
Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Mary (Kate Maberly) emerges from the bath tub she glances uneasily at the camera for a brief second. (00:56:00)
Deliberate mistake: During the train sequence at the end of the film in 1885, it is blatantly obvious that the train is not going the speed that the DeLorean's speedometer is showing. In some shots, the train looks as though it is going little more than 20mph. (01:38:55)
Deliberate mistake: When Gale and Lucy see the Blue Star for the first time on the Volcanic island, on the second shot of the beach, the sea and the boat and star, the view from the beach, it is a still picture, the waves are not moving. All of the characters are moving but the sea is perfectly still.
Deliberate mistake: I know this has been disregarded for the fun effect, but gasoline motors require air to work. When Edgar drives his tricycle into the river while being chased by Napoleon and Lafayette, it should have stalled and stopped working.
Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Pee Wee is dreaming after his crash, the crane that is going to pick up his bike misses the bike completely and then is shown in the air as if it actually had grabbed it. (01:07:50)
Deliberate mistake: When Johnny Five is assembling the first toy robot, he takes a screwdriver to the neck and body of the robot toy, even though there are quite obviously no screws there for him to tighten.
Deliberate mistake: Throughout the movie we hear every animal (and insects/arachnids as is the case with Charlotte and her offspring) with one exception. Every time Charlotte catches her meals in her web we never hear the fly or other insect she is descending upon cry for help, or plead with her to be spared. This is deliberate due to this being a kid's film but still bears noticing as a mistake due to the fact that they are the only ones rendered mute for plot convenience.
Deliberate mistake: Elizabeth will not be able to save Mateo from falling backwards into the fire pit by grabbing his hand or pulling him back after his whole body is suspended over the edge. (01:13:47)
Deliberate mistake: Puppy Clifford engaged in a "tug-of-war" with a Rock Dove over a French fry and the Rock Dove WON, yanking away the French fry. Overlooking for the present purposes that the French fry did not even appear to be into animated Clifford's mouth, a Dove weighing maybe 13 ounces is no match for even a 5-pound puppy. Clifford probably weighed closer to 10-15. (00:10:40)
Deliberate mistake: During "Nobody Cares Like a Bear," Kim opens a gift box containing a balloon. Secret Bear then grabs it and floats away. But when Grumpy Bear tosses a star and pops the balloon, confetti flies out of it and, for the next second, keeps reappearing from nowhere. (00:14:05)
Deliberate mistake: When Marge and Dick are being beamed in outer space, there's no way they could be breathing because there's no breathable air in space.
Deliberate mistake: At the end of the film, when Alex, Maggie and Grig take off in the Gunstar, the crowd of trailer park residents watching them leave backs into the covered portion of the restaurant, right next to the 'Starfighter' game cabinet, which is readily visible in the shot. Mrs. Rogan then wonders where her younger son, Louis, is. The shot changes to show Louis pulling a bench up to the 'Starfighter' game to play it as dust from the Gunstar liftoff kicks up next to him while he watches it fly. Yet the crowd is nowhere to be seen in the shot of Louis playing the game despite everyone being huddled right next to it on the patio (his mother was standing next to it and should be able to see him). Given the proximity of the crowd to the game a moment earlier, Louis wouldn't be able to play it, let alone put a bench next to it. It's clear the filmmakers chose the image of the younger kid aspiring to be like his brother by playing the game over the logic of where the game was in relation to the crowd.
Deliberate mistake: When the family first entry Three Chimneys they have a single lamp as a light source. Entering from the door at the rear of the shot, everything in front of them should be in darkness to the viewer, but it's lit. Things in the background are lit even though there would be no line of sight to the light source. This is because lighting was added on set to allow the viewer to see things better, even though it ruined the realism.
Deliberate mistake: At the end, there is no way that the RV managed to roll over and flatten the vehicles in its path.
Deliberate mistake: Rocks on the water suddenly appear when the rabbit shows up, which allow for Alice to chase him.
Deliberate mistake: In the Spanish release, the name of the family store is written in Spanish, but inside the place it's in English everywhere. This is a very common mistake in foreign kids' films released in Spain.
Deliberate mistake: While roasting marshmallows, Henry's marshmallow caught on fire with the flame shooting about 6", then a foot+ high. A marshmallow subjected to such intense heat/flame for many seconds would not be stuck to the stick and stay stuck with repeated forceful flicking or "whipping" of the stick like Henry did. When the marshmallow finally flew off the stick and landed on a camper's head (higher than would be expected), it would be small/hard/charred, not large and still soft/white in the middle. (00:35:03)
Deliberate mistake: When young Odette is sliding down the banister, and gets stuck spinning around the end of it, it would be impossible to spin like that without her legs hitting the rail that she just slid down.
