Alice in Wonderland

Continuity mistake: When the hare tells Alice it's very rude to show up uninvited the pink teapot to her right disappears and the spoon swaps from straight to bent.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: The colour and position of the teapots on the Mad Hatter's table is an absolute chaos: First they're pink, yellow and white, then in the close-up green and blue teapots appear. When Alice stands by the head of the table the colours change again and they stop moving despite the music still sounding.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: The Cheshire cat says "of course he's mad too" while standing on the middle part of a very long branch. Shot swaps to a front angle and the branch is shorter and he is really close to the tree trunk.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Alice becomes a giant a wide shot of the garden shows the main entrance's broken door leaning on her left foot. First of all, the rabbit managed to open it before she burst it with her right foot. Second of all, when she shrinks, the door appears magically back in its place. And no, it's not a different door because at 00:21:05 we see the house and there is no door where her left foot later comes out through.

Suggested correction: All throughout the growth sequence, the rabbit was shown by Alice's right foot. It could be possible this specific door on the left is a different door altogether.

Continuity mistake: The rabbit's grandfather clock that was in the garden about to be burnt magically appears inside the house when Alice shrinks.

Continuity mistake: When Alice eats the cookie in the rabbit's place her foot grows huge along the stairs, down to the entrance and out to the garden without knocking a single object except the poor rabbit. When the angle changes to a shot outside the house suddenly all of the furniture has magically appeared out of nowhere next to the shoe.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the Dodo gives instructions to the lizard on how to rescue Alice he grabs his neck with the right hand. A shot later it's the left hand.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When giant Alice picks up the carrot and tells the rabbit she must eat something, her nails suddenly swap from normal to painted.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Before the Dodo punches the lizard down the chimney and says "And drag it out", the visor on the lizard's cap is either facing backwards or frontwards between shots.

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.

Sacha

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.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of the oyster shells a salt shaker suddenly appears. There was no shaker previously; as a matter of fact, the carpenter said he was going to bring one but he never did.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: The menu is printed in red and black colours. When the carpenter discovers the walrus has eaten all the oysters the menu is now printed in black and white.

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.
