Other mistake: When Will's mother steps into the bathtub where his father is already lying in, the camera switches between both persons and the water level (in relation to the bathtub edge) on each person's side is on a different height. Yet when both persons are shown, we can see that the bathtub edge is fully horizontal, so the water level should be the same on both sides. (01:25:00)
Big Fish (2003)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Ewan McGregor, Helena Bonham Carter, Jessica Lange, Billy Crudup, Albert Finney
Factual error: When Edward Bloom hits the winning shot in the basketball game, a three-point line is visible at his feet. The three-point line was not introduced until the 1970s in the newly formed ABA. It did not reach high school basketball gyms until the late 80s. (00:20:55)
Young Ed Bloom: Your last name is different. You married.
Jenny: I was 18, he was 28. Turns out it was a big difference.
Trivia: Helena Bonham Carter, who plays the grown up version of Jenny (from the town of Spectre), also plays the witch. She was at the time in a relationship with and eventually married director Tim Burton from 2001-2014.
Question: The end credits say that BLUE'S CLUES and DORA THE EXPLORER are referenced and the "References" in the movie's IMDb page say that Edward was watching them on TV, but when did he? I don't see clips of either show.
