Continuity mistake: When being a giant inside the house, Alice extends her arms and they're quite short. A couple of shots later she remains the same size but her arms are now 5 times longer to allow for her to open the windows on the front. This has nothing to do with the magical cookies.

Continuity mistake: The first wide shot of giant Alice bursting the rabbit's house shows a barrel between her legs and a grandfather's clock leaning on her left ankle. Both disappear in the following shot.

Factual error: The first shot of the calendar shows two days numbered as 20 and March ending on the 24th. In the following shot it's fixed.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: The shell next to mother oyster's calendar is on the middle part of it, but a shot later it is on the left side of the calendar.
