Pocahontas (1995)

Corrected entry: Towards the end of the movie, right before Pocahontas goes to save John Smith, she watches the spinning arrow on the compass, which eventually points to the rising sun. But this couldn't be (unless she has a broken compass), because the sun rises in the east, and compasses point north.

Correction: This is obviously meant to be a story device. Compasses also do not spin wildly around and then instantly stop to point rigidly in one direction as this one was doing. The compass is pointing to John and telling Pocahontas where she must go.
