Continuity mistake: When Giselle gives the doves the heart shaped wreath to deliver to Nancy, as they fly off both sides of the wreath are seen. When Nancy thanks Robert for the flowers, the blooms differ. (00:50:30 - 00:52:35)
Continuity mistake: When Giselle tells the old man that things such as a smile could lift her spirits, her tiara is placed normally on her head. After the brief close-up of the man's toothless grin, Giselle's tiara is now positioned forward, to make it easier for the man to snatch. (00:14:15)
Continuity mistake: As Robert drops from the bent spike, he hits the roof and both he and Giselle are sliding down the side of it. In the shot viewing from above Robert can be seen reaching some kind of ledge on the roof, while Giselle is 1-2 meters above him, also sliding towards the ledge. In the next two shoots (1st from the side, 2nd from below of them) both of them are still sliding down the roof with the ledge no where to be seen. (01:31:15)
Continuity mistake: Before cartoon Giselle enters the castle, two rabbits add a waistband with a slip knot on her back. When she is in the real world, the waistband is missing. (00:09:40 - 00:11:15)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where they are in the pizza shop, Robert's part in his hair changes back and forth noticeably between shots.
Revealing mistake: The first morning, when Robert takes Giselle to work, they enter atrium of the Time Warner Center (the well-known statue of the female Giselle admires is one of a set, the other is male), which is located at 8th Ave and Broadway, at the southwest corner of Central Park. Upstairs, when Sam tells Robert that she can't find where Giselle is from, and then when Giselle speaks to Phoebe, the very distinctive Johnson Lipstick Building (it's reddish and has three receding oval-shaped levels) at 53rd and 3rd is seen outside the window. The office scene is obviously not filmed at Time Warner, because it's impossible to be in an office at 8th and Broadway, on the West Side, and be next door to a building located at 53rd and 3rd, on the East Side. (00:35:40 - 00:40:35)
Continuity mistake: When animated Giselle happily sings and dances, in the shot before she places the red rose on her "one true love", the room's round window is behind her. The very large vase with the bouquet of flowers is gone from the shelf beside the window, as are the other objects on the lower shelf. (00:03:10)
Continuity mistake: At Bella Notte's, there is a pizza pie on table, whose characteristics such as sauce, crust, dough bubbles, three basil leaves, etc., change from the start of this scene to when it is hurled like a frisbee.
Continuity mistake: During Giselle's first night in New York, from the time she crawls out of a sewer, the bottom of her white gown (and white stockings) becomes somewhat dirty, but by the time she falls asleep on the couch in the apartment, the gown is cleaner.
Continuity mistake: After Pip knocks the apple martini off the table, there is a close-up of him standing on Giselle's plate and the knife is beside the plate with the fork beside the knife. When Robert calls for help, in Pip's next close-up the utensils are placed the opposite way, with the fork beside the plate. (01:00:15)
Continuity mistake: When Giselle stands on the livingroom coffee table as she sings, the hutch stands about a foot away from the fireplace mantle behind her. When she tosses the flowers into the vase, which sits upon the fireplace mantle, the hutch is so close that it nearly touches the mantle.
Visible crew/equipment: When the witch gives Giselle the apple you can see a crew member reflected on the apple.
Continuity mistake: When Robert and Giselle are at Bella Notte's, there is a red checkered tablecloth on the table. The direction of the broad red lines changes between shots, in Chip's close-up when he stands on Gabrielle's plate. First it's horizontal, then vertical - note the knife and fork.
Continuity mistake: At Bella Notte's, after Robert entertains Giselle with the magic trick, the salt shaker is on the table between them and the pepper shaker is at the opposite end of the table, beside Morgan's plate. When Nathaniel brings the apple martini both shakers are beside Morgan's plate, though nobody touched the salt.
Continuity mistake: At Central Park, when Giselle stops at the park bench and hands Clara the money, the tall black lamppost stands a few feet to Clara's left - between her bench and the next bench. When Giselle and Robert walk away, as she says, "And she was very helpful," Clara's bench is much farther away from that lamppost. Also, note the greater distance between Clara and the bench to her left and the park's signpost at the road's curve. (00:44:05)
Continuity mistake: Look at Giselle's right arm when she falls on Robert after stepping out of the shower. In the initial shot, that arm is on the floor. In the next, she's using that arm to hold her towel in place.
Revealing mistake: In the hotel room, Nathaniel picks up the squirrel by the tail. In the very first shot he goes to grab it and grabs thin air below the prince's knee. In the quick angle change he has the squirrel in his hand. It looks like either the actor or the computer animator didn't quite sync things up.
Continuity mistake: The argument at Churchill Hairline and Smith LLP office about the Baseball card between the married couple, at the near end of the scene when Ryan is about to leave, the lady says "Let me think" while her hand is resting on her chin. When the camera angle changes her hand is oddly placed on the table. (00:15:25)
Continuity mistake: When Giselle is cleaning her apartment up, flies come down her fireplace in an open flue. Exterior shots of the apartment show no chimney.
Factual error: The bus that Edward stabs has an NYC Transit X90 route marker on it. This route does not go through Times Square.
Answer: Obviously, Giselle didn't know. She was shoved into the wishing well by the hag and had no idea what had happened to her. Edward, being familiar with his stepmother's magic, was better prepared.
