Epic picture

Continuity mistake: As in most movies I've seen where size is a main factor, the animators did not pay much attention to scale. In the scene where the main character leads the leaf people to her father's house, she is jumping and lands on the thinnest pencils I've ever seen. They have the width of the pencil smaller than her foot. However later on, it is shown that a push pin is almost the size of her body.

Continuity mistake: In the gym before the lady says "why do we have to turn around" Roxanne is facing the front and then turns and then when the man says "if we please" Roxanne is turning around again.

Suggested correction: Roxanne was looking back at the janitor guy so therefore she didn't turn around twice.
