Continuity mistake: During "Why Should I Worry", a pair of sunglasses lands on Dodger's head. In this shot we can see a woman walking her two dogs near the intersection. But watch as a green car appears from nowhere between shots, suddenly parked in the background right behind the dogs. (00:11:00)

Continuity mistake: When the strays are scuffling with one another below the houseboat's deck, Fagin appears through the swinging doors holding a box of dog biscuits in his hands. Both of the doors are in an obvious state of disrepair, with hinges barely attached to the frame. But two shots later, the doors have somehow fixed themselves. (00:17:35)

Continuity mistake: At one point during Sykes and Fagin's first meeting on the pier, Sykes opens the door and empties an ashtray all over Fagin's shoe. But in the following shot the ashes and cigar butts have disappeared and Sykes' hand is suddenly back inside the vehicle. (00:19:45)

Continuity mistake: When Roscoe puts his nose up to Einstein's for being told to pick on someone his own size, Roscoe snaps back and says "Like you, old man?" But in the next shot, their noses are a couple of feet apart from each other instead. (00:20:55)

Continuity mistake: After Fagin kicks off his waterlogged shoes and sits down in the recliner, Tito slides a pair of rabbit slippers over the wet socks on his feet. In subsequent shots, however, Fagin wears no socks. But then at one point he can be seen with the wet socks on his feet again all of a sudden. (00:23:25)

Continuity mistake: Just before Fagin sits down in his recliner to read a bedtime story for the strays, Dodger pushes a button on its armrest to tilt the seat. But one shot later, the button is nowhere to be found. (00:24:30)

Continuity mistake: When Fagin is riding his trike through downtown New York with the strays in search of items to help pay off Sykes, Dodger can be seen in the cart with both front paws at his side. But in the following shot his paws are suddenly hanging over the cart's edge. (00:27:15)

Continuity mistake: Right before Tito and Oliver jump out from the side alley onto Jenny's limo, Tito places his arm around Oliver's shoulder. But between shots, the alley's surroundings change dramatically. The sidewalk vanishes, and a garbage pail & drain grate disappear as well. (00:29:40)

Continuity mistake: After Oliver and Tito jump onto Jenny's limo, it makes a left turn at the intersection. Here we can see how the limo has a pair of windows on either side, but instead three windows are visible from the interior one shot later where Jenny reads a letter from her parents. In addition, the limo has gained a sunroof between shots. (00:29:45)

Continuity mistake: After Oliver and Tito jump into Jenny's limo, Tito grabs the steering wheel and starts to make honking sounds. But between shots, the wheel rotates all by itself. (00:30:50)

Continuity mistake: After Jenny's limo pulls away with Oliver still inside, Francis can be seen with the other strays near a garbage pile. He's got a toilet seat wrapped around his head, but he keeps disappearing from it between shots as Tito explains what happened. (00:32:00)

Continuity mistake: As Jenny and Winston first enter the front door of their 5th Avenue flat, notice how the right-hand window significantly changes its distance in relation to the door when seen from an exterior versus interior perspective. Initially the window is one space away, but this soon changes to two spaces when Winston removes his hat and coat in the following shot. (00:32:35)

Continuity mistake: When Jenny and Winston arrive at the house with Oliver, Winston hangs his hat from a hook. Between shots, the hat jumps to a different hook. (00:32:40)

Continuity mistake: The number of steps on Georgette's dog bed staircase changes from time to time, depending on the shot. When Georgette is introduced, there are nine steps initially, but eleven steps appear instead as she descends to make herself up in the following shot. And later on when all of the strays trick Winston into thinking nobody is in the room, the staircase has eight steps. (00:33:00 - 00:45:05)

Oliver and Company mistake picture

Continuity mistake: During the song 'Perfect Isn't Easy', when Georgette is going to her big pillow by all the pictures, there is a pink little pillow near it with nothing on it. Next shot there is another picture that she picks up that is on the pillow. (00:34:15)

Neptopia

Continuity mistake: During the "Why Should I Worry" song, Dodger goes with his "scarf" of sausages through a basin full of wet cement. Logically the cement should be stuck on the sausages, though that does not appear to happen, even though the sausages went through the cement. There is cement on his paws, though, that he needs to wash off.
