Lady and the Tramp mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After the crocodile scene, Lady and Trump jump away and land on a narrow street inches away from the hyena cage. After the hyena stops laughing, the place is completely different: Wide and with a fountain in the middle. Lady is sitting still so they couldn't have gone somewhere else in between shots.

Continuity mistake: When Lady enters the bedroom where the baby is put asleep, the wall in the back is an absolute chaos: A wooden chest appears/ disappears randomly; the things on the chest magically disappear only to become a blanket in the final shot; the mirror becomes a painting, and, last but not least, the wall has either a smooth paint or a wallpaper with flower motifs.

Deliberate mistake: When the Darlings discover the dead rat, they raise the curtain and cry out loud, but the rat is nowhere to be seen. Given Disney's long time history of refusals to show dead bodies or blood, it's highly possible that this was a deliberate mistake, but really awkward indeed.

Continuity mistake: From left to right, in the room where Tramp chases the rat there's a chest, a couch, a huge window with fallen curtains on a table. When the rat is killed the window disappears, and thus the curtains over the table. After aunt Sarah locks Tramp, the window reappears and the curtains are back on the table.

Tramp: Say no more, I get the whole picture. Aunts, cats, muzzles... Well, that what comes of tying yourself down to one family.
Lady: Haven't you a family?
Tramp: One for every day of the week. The point is, none of them have me.

Trivia: Although the spaghetti-eating sequence is now the best known scene, Walt Disney originally did not want it in the film as he thought it would not be romantic and that two dogs eating spaghetti would look ridiculous. Animator Frank Thomas was against Walt's decision and animated the entire scene himself without any lay-outs. Walt was so impressed with Thomas's work he decided to keep the scene in.
