Continuity mistake: While Wendy, John and Michael are walking home from school, the letter carrier passes by in front of them. In the wide shot the braided hair on Wendy's left is behind her shoulder, yet in the following close-up both sides with bows are in front. (00:08:10)
Continuity mistake: After arriving at the bank, the young letter carrier pulls out the envelope addressed to Mr. Darling and holds it out in front of him. Yet in the next shot facing Mr. Darling the letter is held the opposite way, in the boy's still outstretched hand. (00:09:10)
Continuity mistake: At the bank Nana skids and picks up the two passengers and they all advance towards the bankers. As the boy runs and then as all three approach the bankers, the bankers behind Mr. Darling are positioned differently depending on the camera's angle in each of the far shots, close-ups and overhead shot. (00:09:10)
Continuity mistake: At the bank, in the close-up of her legs Nana knocks Wendy off her feet and she lands parallel to Nana. In the next close-up of her face Wendy falls back again. Then in the next close-up Wendy falls perpendicularly to Nana. (00:09:20)
Revealing mistake: At the bank there is a close-up of Mr. Darling with Sir Edward Quiller Couch standing behind him to his right, just as Nana, et al. are about to collide with the bankers. The camera pans in for the extreme close-up of Mr. Darling, who makes a horrified face. Later, when the Darlings are at the party Nana bursts in. Sir Edward again stands to Mr. Darling's right. Mr. Darling puts his hands up in front of himself and the next close-up shot is the very same shot from the bank. Part of Sir Edward's hair is edited and the background is digitally augmented. (00:09:25 - 00:23:20)
Revealing mistake: At the bank, as Nana, Wendy and the letter carrier all skid towards Mr. Darling and the other bankers, in the overhead shot it is not Jason Isaacs (Mr. Darling) standing at the front of the bankers. The hairline is completely different, as he has a prominent receding hairline on both sides of his head which is seen in many shots. (00:09:25)
Continuity mistake: Wendy places a flower full of medicine near the wooden crocodile for Peter to take. After Hook sneaks in he spots the flower and then places the poison inside it. Then when Peter wakes up and calls out, "Wendy," he sees the flower. In all three shots the wood chisel, wood chips, flower, etc. are different. (00:09:25 - 01:11:50)
Continuity mistake: In the nursery, behind Michael's and John's beds there are many small soldiers and horses perched on the chair rail (decorative molding). The position/amount of these soldiers and horses differ significantly in consecutive shots within the scene before they leave for Neverland and also within the scene when they eventually return. (00:12:25 - 01:35:25)
Continuity mistake: Tink unlocks the nursery window, flies about and darts under John's bed. In the view from above John's bed, we see a large play castle at the brass footboard of his bed. However, in the next shot looking out from under his bed as Tink opens the wardrobe, we see through the bars of the footboard that the play castle is GONE. Then in the next shot of the bed the castle is back. (00:12:25)
Continuity mistake: When Tink flies into the nursery and zips around searching for Peter's shadow she flies into Nana's house and in this shot Michael's bed is more than a foot away from the nightstand. In the next overhead shot Michael's bed is much closer to the nightstand. Michael's blanket differs considerably as well. (00:12:25)
Continuity mistake: Tinker flies into the nursery, zips around the room and in the shot from under John's bed goes to the wardrobe with the hanging clothes. Then in the close-up she plunges into all the readily available pockets. These clothes which are seen in many following shots too are quite different in the later shots, not to mention the significant difference of the close-up with all the pockets in perfect position for Tinker Bell to fly in and out of. (00:12:30 - 00:15:20)
Continuity mistake: Tinker Bell comes in through the window, zips around the nursery and flies to the bookcase, knocking the two statue bookends and all of the books in between onto the floor leaving an empty shelf. Yet moments later Peter enters the nursery, follows Tink towards the hallway, passes the bookcase on the way and now there are other books on the top shelf. (00:12:35)
Continuity mistake: In the nursery, as Tink pushes the books off the top shelf, in the close-up the wooden fan is seen leaning against the books on the middle shelf. Then as Peter flies towards the hallway following Tinker Bell he passes the bookcase and the fan is gone. Yet when Peter tells Wendy about meeting Tink at Kensington Gardens the fan is back. Books on the middle and bottom shelf change in these and other shots too. (00:12:35 - 00:19:10)
Continuity mistake: Wendy lifts her head after hearing Tink's noisy racket, so Tinker Bell flies into the table lamp and the tablecloth is on straight. When Peter flies into the nursery the tablecloth is crooked. In later shots the tablecloth is straight again. (00:12:40)
Revealing mistake: Coming back to look for his shadow, Peter flies into the nursery window and he steps onto the wood floor. In this close-up Peter moves his left foot and as he does Jeremy Sumpter's real shadow is seen under his foot. His shadow is also seen when he is in the hallway then motions for Tink to be quiet, his arm shadow moves across his chest. (00:13:00)
Continuity mistake: The pirate hat hanging on John's foot board first faces him, then faces the camera, the toys on the floor in front of Michael's bed, etc., change position between the shots of Peter entering the nursery and when Aunt Millicent opens the bedroom door, even though no one moved anything between these shots. (00:13:00 - 00:14:20)
Revealing mistake: When Peter flies into the nursery searching for his shadow, he follows Tink into the hallway. The red window draperies fit the width of the hall in this and other shots. However, in the close-up after Peter opens the drawer, he grabs his shadow as it flies up and the draperies are visible. In this shot, not only are the draperies much narrower, but the hallway ceiling is now much wider to allow the shadow to stretch while trying to get away. (00:13:10)
Continuity mistake: When Peter flies through the nursery and stops at the drawer with his trapped shadow, the door to the nursery remains wide open behind him. Yet, when Aunt Millicent checks on the children she, both visually and audibly, opens the bedroom door. (00:13:10 - 00:14:15)
Deliberate mistake: After Aunt Millicent checks on the sleeping children, in the shot outside the bedroom, she is startled by her true shadow on the lit area of wall. The position, shape and angle of that area of light, in which the shadow is visible on the wall, is a deliberate exaggeration, not withstanding the fact that Peter, just moments earlier, approached the drawer with his shadow in this same area and yet there was no patch of light. (00:13:15 - 00:14:30)
Continuity mistake: When Peter struggles with his shadow on the dresser in the hallway, in the first shot Peter's right foot forces the red table runner to slide off. Yet in the next shot the wrinkled runner is still on the dresser, though it starts to fall with Peter as he goes down. In the next close-up of the drawer, the runner and Peter are still on top and both fall again, albeit differently. But when Aunt Millicent closes the bedroom door the wrinkled table runner is on the dresser again as she walks away and when Wendy gets needle & thread the runner is neat and flat. (00:13:30 - 00:14:35)
