Alice in Wonderland

Continuity mistake: When Alice is up in the tree she is making a daisy-chain and her lap is empty. In a closeup though, daisies appear on her lap. (00:02:20)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When the Walrus talks to the oysters underwater, the number and position of oysters changes throughout the scene. (00:16:20 - 00:17:30)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When the Walrus is talking to the oysters, the mother oyster turns to look at her calendar. In a wide shot the calendar has five rows of days, yet in the closeup there are six rows. (00:16:40)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: The Walrus leads 12 oysters to the 'restaurant', yet after he eats them all, there are over 20 oyster shells. (00:17:40 - 00:19:15)

Continuity mistake: After being pulled toward the Rabbit's Cottage by the White Rabbit, Bill's feet change. They change back when the ladder is being set up (almost exactly 10 seconds). (00:23:09)

Continuity mistake: Immediately prior to pushing the lizard down the chimney you can see teeth appear in the dodo's mouth for a few frames. (00:23:49)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: And how would that happen accidentally? The animators would have to deliberately draw the teeth. It was obviously done for effect. It is even done later in the scene. Most likely, the mouth wouldn't read correctly for certain words if teeth weren't visible.

Continuity mistake: When Alice returns to the caterpillar and he says "keep your temper" he is coloured opposite to how he normally looks, with a dark blue front and light blue back. (00:34:15)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Alice grows really huge in the forest, the mushroom pieces should be very very small in comparison to her, yet they are quite big. Because when we later see Alice lick the mushroom and become her normal height, the mushroom pieces are small. (00:36:30)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Alice becomes huge in the forest, there is a purple bird on her head in a nest. She gathers five eggs and she is about to leave. But when Alice turns small again and the bird falls down, she gathers around eight eggs in her arms. (00:36:35)

Continuity mistake: When Alice shrinks after being huge in the forest, you can see both pieces of mushroom in her hands, untouched, although she has taken a bite out of both pieces. (00:36:40)

Hamster

Audio problem: During the Tea Party scene, the Mad Hatter and March Hare ask Alice to tell her story. After the Mad Hatter says "And when you come to the end, stop!" audio follows of the voice director saying "great," leftover from the original recording. (00:45:40)

Continuity mistake: After the Mad Hatter has finished filling the pocket watch with food, the watch starts flipping about and going mad and as it spins and flips, you can see the face of the watch has disappeared. (00:47:15)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: This occurs when Alice is near the cards during the painting the roses red scene. When they say "ooohh" the two & the three are next to each other, the shot goes to Alice then back to the cards and the two and the ace are now next to each other. (00:55:45)

Continuity mistake: When the Queen of Hearts spots the tree of roses dripping with red paint, on the floor by the tree is a can of paint. The can disappears when the Queen rips the tree out of the ground. (00:58:20)

Other mistake: After listening to the flowers sing, Alice is standing and talking to them. Although Alice is moving her head and arms around, her shadow stays still.

Hamster

Audio problem: When the box of cakes appears, Alice takes one, and says "Goodness know what.", and then she puts the cake in her mouth, and is visibly not moving her mouth, however we still hear her say ".this will do."

Continuity mistake: When Alice is in the tree playing with her cat in the first part of the film, the flowers she is making into a crown changes in size throughout the scene.

Continuity mistake: When Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee are telling Alice the story about the walrus and the fisherman, when the walrus has the oysters in the hut and he looks at the menu it is right ways up telling you that oysters are being served. He then places it upside down on the table so the menu should be upside down writing however when the next shot comes in the menu is the right way up.

Mad Hatter: What's the matter my dear, don't you care for tea?
Alice: Why, yes. I'm very fond of tea.
March Hare: If you don't care for tea, you could at least make polite conversation.

Question: In the scene when the Mad Hatter is "fixing" the rabbit's watch, the Hatter exclaims "It was!" before the rabbit states that the watch was an unbirthday present. Is this on purpose? Or an editing mistake?

Answer: Actually, the White Rabbit sees his damaged watch, says "Oh! My watch". THEN the Mad Hatter says "It was!", then the White Rabbit says that it was an unbirthday gift. So the exchange of dialogue makes sense.
