Continuity mistake: When the alligator is born, in close-up his head is up and standing out, but in full shot it is lying down. This keeps changing back and forth.

Other mistake: When the film starts, Dolittle drinks from a yellow cup, the angle changes to behind his shoulder and it's perfectly obvious the cup is empty. Then, despite this, he keeps sipping and moving his mouth all the time.

Dr. Dolittle (1998)

Continuity mistake: When the pigeon defecates on the doctor's face, the poo falls on the side of his mouth. Half a second later the mouth is clean and the poo is all over his chin, nowhere near where it fell before, so it couldn't have slid down there.

Continuity mistake: When Dolittle arrives at the woods, right before he parks, the side of his car is totally dusty and dirty. When he steps off, after a change of angles, it is spotless.
