Corrected entry: There are 4 toothbrushes in the pot, but only three people live in the house. (00:04:35)
The Snowman (1982)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Jimmy T. Murakami, Dianne Jackson
Starring: David Bowie, Raymond Briggs
Genres: Adventure, Animated, Christmas, Family, Fantasy, Short
Continuity mistake: In the scene just before the snowman comes to life, the clock in the hallway reads midnight. But a little later, when he is showing the snowman around the house and he is about to lead him upstairs, the clock reads 8:05.
Older James: I remember that winter because it had brought the heaviest snows I had ever seen. Snow had fallen steadily all night long and in the morning I woke in a room filled with light and silence, the world seemed to be held in a dream-like stillness. It was a magical day. And it was on that day I made the snowman.
Trivia: In the original book, the boy who's friends with the snowman isn't given a name. In the film he's given a gift by Father Christmas with a nametag on it, so the filmmakers opted for James, the husband of one of the animators.

Correction: I've often had more than one toothbrush in my toothbrush holder just for myself. Plus, that's how it was drawn in the book.

That's actually not how it's drawn in the book.
It appears James is holding a toothbrush and there's still 3 in the cup (in the book).
