Beauty and the Beast

Continuity mistake: Right before Belle's father enters the tavern, watch the bar on the left: First there's just one man. The father enters and a bartender plus a guy next to him appears. Then Gaston asks "Who's got Belle locked up in a dungeon?", and all three disappear. Then the father says "A beast", and the bartender and first villager appear, but not the second man.

Suggested correction: I really don't see much of a difference here. The sign is always green, and it doesn't turn brown. Sure, the tone looks a bit lighter in the second screenshot, but the colour is still meant to be the same.
