Revealing mistake: The stick used to make Jack's dog levitate is sometimes visible, for example when Jack is alone on the mountain.
Revealing mistake: During the song "This is Halloween" at the beginning, when the bats fly in front of the moon, the strings that they are attached to are visible.
Other mistake: When Jack first arrives in Christmas Land he doesn't know what is falling from the sky (snow) but he somehow knows that the children are throwing snowballs.
The Mayor: Jack, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself!
Question: How did Jack save Sally and Santa Claus in Oogie Boogie's lair by transporting them from the lava pit to the Iron Maiden? Wouldn't they be killed by the Iron Maiden?
Answer: He was hiding behind Sally.
