Maleficent (2014)
Continuity mistake: When the fairies are cooking and Aurora says she is moving out, for a brief shot the amount of flour on the left side of Knotgrass' brown apron disappears. Shot changes to the previous angle and the flour is back. It's not because of magic or due to a plotwise decision, it's a continuity mistake between two different takes.
Suggested correction: Considering the flour on her face is fading away, who's to say it's not on her apron as well?
