Continuity mistake: Nick's necklace is a string looped through a ring, but sometimes the string makes only one pass through the ring and sometimes two.
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001)
Directed by: John A. Davis
Starring: Rob Paulsen, Debi Derryberry, Jeffrey Garcia, Mark DeCarlo, Megan Cavanagh
Character mistake: When Jimmy explains to the kids of the town where the aliens took their parents, he mentions the origin of the aliens being somewhere in the Orion Star System, 3 million light years away. The Orion system is way closer than that. It is actually less than 1400 light years away from Earth. 3 million light years away would place them further than the Andromeda Galaxy.

Suggested correction: This shouldn't be a character mistake. A genius like Jimmy would know something like this. It's basic astronomy.
That's exactly why it's a character mistake. A character mistake is when a character does or says something that they shouldn't based on who/what they are suppose to be, or something a character wrongly states as fact when they should know better.
Continuity mistake: When Jimmy Neutron is giving birthday presents to his mum he pulls out a necklace and some earrings from a bag. His mum only takes the necklace from him but the earrings are no longer in his hand. (00:20:10)
Trivia: Jimmy's dog is named Goddard. American physicist and inventor Robert Hutchings Goddard (1882-1945) developed the first liquid propelled rocket engine in 1926.
Trivia: When Jimmy shrinks himself to sneak out of the house you can see his parents are watching TV Land - A Nickelodeon program.
Trivia: If you have seen Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (which stars Steve Oderkerk, who wrote Jimmy Neutron) it ends with a giant monster's foot stepping beside the main character's. This foot is the same foot as the giant chicken monster in this movie.
Carl: Weee. Llamas, llamas, llamas.
Mr. Neutron: Look, I was a kid once. I remember being grounded a whole week and not being allowed to go to my best friend's bachelor party.
Carl: Hey, this astronaut food isn't too bad.
Jimmy: That's toothpaste, Carl.
Carl: Oh. Minty.
Question: In the scene where Jimmy and his friends are finding their parents again, who is driving the cargo ship they're on?
Answer: Surely such an advanced spaceship would have some form of autopilot.
Question: Near the ending, when the kids fly very close to the sun, how were they able to survive its super-intense heat?
Answer: This is not meant to be a realistic film.
