Suggested correction: No, it doesn't. When she finishes this speech at 45:16, there is an immediate cut to Scrooge. We can only see the back of the ghost. Her mouth is not visible.

Suggested correction: A mouth can move without speaking, not an audio problem but a puppeteering problem that is not a mistake.

A puppeteer problem would still be a mistake.

Maybe for the puppeteer, but in the movie it is no problem because a mouth can move without sound coming out. So what exactly went wrong?

lionhead

But practically speaking people (or puppets) don't just flap their mouth open and closed with no reason. The overwhelming probability is simply that there was a dubbing error or a line was cut and the dialogue didn't fit with the mouth movement.

The mouth opens 1 extra time. That's all.

But it's glaring enough to be noticeable. Regardless of how or why it happened, it's a mistake.

In the version on Disney+, there is an immediate cut to Scrooge as the spirit finishes her speech. We only see the back of the spirit's head. Are you seeing something different on other versions?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBDqCFyugW0. I got the scene right here, it's at 1:50. Judge for yourself. I can repeat that part over and over again, but to be honest, sometimes it looks like there is an extra movement. Sometimes I can't see it. Even if it was, muppets move their mouths without speaking all the time.

Passenger 57 picture

Audio problem: When Cutter rolls at shoots at Vincent, we can hear the distinct sound of his pistol. However, we see a shot of the pistol's slide in the open/locked position, meaning he's run out of ammo, but we can still hear the pistol being fired a few times after that.

Rapid Fire picture

Audio problem: A few times during the restaurant shootout, especially with that turret gun that was disguised as a coat rack, you can see the gun firing, but there is no sound of gunfire. The music is still playing, but no gunshots are heard. This is also done earlier in the film when Daniels was shooting at Jake as he's running and jumping over the metal beams after escaping from the hotel room.
