Factual error: A toy modern four-door automobile and a clear plastic ball can be seen as the children play when the Burgermeister comes in on his wheelchair. Both unlikely for a story set (presumably) in the 1800's, at the latest.

Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (1970)
Directed by: Arthur Rankin Jr., Jules Bass
Starring: Fred Astaire, Mickey Rooney, Paul Frees, Keenan Wynn
Factual error: During Kris' "A Kiss a Toy" musical number, one of the kids has a Tommy Gun. Since the story is, at the latest, set during the 19th century and the Burgermeister's troops are armed only with spears, swords, and knives, a Tommy Gun should not be in this story.
Visible crew/equipment: When Kris is singing "Put one foot in front of the other", he opens a door through the snow and walks through it. If you look inside of it you can see a staple holding the two set pieces together.
Dingle: Wiggle my ears and tickle my toes, methinks I see a baby's nose! It's more than a nose. There's a whole baby attached to it. Better call my brothers! Wingle! Bingle! Tingle! Zingle.
Zingle: What is it, Dingle?
Wingle: It's a baby, Zingle.
Tingle: A baby what, Wingle?
Bingle: A baby baby, Tingle.
Dingle: I like babies, Bingle.
Bingle: Our baby's the best baby of them all, Wingle.
Kris: You better watch out, better not cry, better not pout.
Children: Why?
Kris: I'm telling you why.
Children: Yeah?
Kris: 'Cause I came to town. And look what I brought.
Children: Toys.
Burgermeister Meisterburger: Toys are hereby declared illegal, immoral, unlawful and anyone found with a toy in his possession will be placed under arrest and thrown in the dungeon.
