Other mistake: Reuniting the Family: Just after Michael walks into his home, he takes out a bottle of whiskey, and goes to pour it into a glass. Just before he goes to pour, there is already a sliver of whiskey in the bottom of the glass, even though it should be empty. It appears as if the sliver of whiskey shown in the glass was used as an animation reference to help the animators during post-production.

Second, there are some frames in which the door to the balcony has not been animated, leaving a colourless arch shape. Third, numerous rendering layers of the balcony door will pop-up on screen during each individual key frame when the camera angle is altered.
