Corrected entry: When the train arrives in the street the room of the boy's chamber shows moving lights from a (stopping) passing train. The room of the boy is upstairs and the train doesn't pass at that level. Outside you can also see that the light from the windows of the carriages shines downwards on the snow, but not on the house.
Corrected entry: In the scene where they arrive in the village, and they are telling the lonely boy how he should see Santa, during the scene beeping can be heard.
Correction: What sort of "beeping"? I have seen this movie countless times because of my daughter, and there are a lot of sounds going on during that scene, but I can't hear anything resembling beeping.
Corrected entry: If Lonely Boy has not been 'naughty', and we are meant to assume he has not, and since Santa does exist, why has he not visited the boy's house previous Christmases?
Correction: We do not know that Santa didn't visit his house the previous years. All the information we are given is that Christmas didn't work out for him so there could be another reason. e.g. His brother/sister(s) could have either taken or broken his presents the previous years. Who knows?
Corrected entry: In the scene where hero boy and the other children are watching Santa's sleigh fly through the air to leave the North Pole, you specifically hear Santa call one of the reindeer, "Donder". If you turn on the closed caption, it also says "Donder". Historically that reindeer's name is "Donner".
Correction: The reindeer known today as Donner were originally Dunder (the Dutch word for "thunder"). Dunder was later reprinted as Donder, which developed into Donner (the German for "thunder") Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus. So, historically, that reindeer's name was Donder first. Santa apparently still uses that name.
Corrected entry: When the ticket flies out of the boy's hand, it floats into the eagle's mouth. It catches the ticket on the right, but when the shot changes it is holding it in the middle.
Correction: First of all, the ticket does not just fly out of the boys hand and float into the eagle's mouth. It flies out of his hand, gets stuck in a windowframe, flies up then down into a forest and lands, where a pack of wolves passing by kicks it up, it sticks to their fur for a bit, then flies back up as the eagle swoops down and snags it. The eagle never leaves frame in this continuous shot when he does turn around, making the left side of the ticket now the right, and it is in the same position in his mouth, so this is not an error.
Corrected entry: When the children look out of the train and first see the elves marching by, at least one of the elf's legs are not moving as he is walking. His body is moving along the same pace as the others but his legs are stuck in mid-stride and not moving at all.
Correction: Now I have seen this film on DVD I looked at this specific scene several times but am unable to find the dreaded elf. One elf appears to make odd movements with his legs however this is in preparation for a so-called 'cart-wheel' many elves make whilst walking. I can't see any animated mistake.
It's there. There is a YouTube video where this issue is pointed out.
Correction: All events involving the train are intended to be either 1) a dream, or 2) a magical journey. Either case negates this mistake. If it's a dream there are no limitations. If it's a magical journey, the train would flash the lights into the boy's window to wake him and be sure he boarded the train.
