Audio problem: After the mermaids splash Wendy, she raises a seashell threateningly above her head and says "If you dare come near me again.". Her mouth doesn't move at all.
Audio problem: When the mermaids are nagging Wendy they cry "Oh please!" "I insist!" but their mouths aren't moving.
Continuity mistake: After Wendy walks the plank and leaps, when we see Peter has saved her, her head is at Peter's right side as he flies off with her in his arms. But in the next shot, Wendy is being carried by Peter the opposite way, with her head now at Peter's left side. (01:07:10)
Trivia: The tune played whenever the crocodile approaches originally had lyrics. The song was titled "Never Smile at a Crocodile".
Question: What kind of medicine was Nana bringing into the nursery to give to the children?
Answer: They never officially confirmed; but it was likely castor oil or morphine. Both were used around this time period as a common "medicine" for children.
Cocaine, heroin, and alcohol-based elixirs were also commonplace at that time and considered "safe and effective" for children.
