Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist
Plot hole: When Neptune places the curse on Emily, her hands begin to become webbed but never once does she have webbed hands when she is a mermaid so the curse shouldn't cause this. She isn't becoming something that she isn't, she is becoming half mer half human, so the curse shouldn't affect her hands because they never actually transform when she changes into a mermaid, only her lower half changes. Even the pictures in the book show hands that aren't webbed when in mermaid form.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Will is talking to Cutler Beckett, there is a clock behind them that is being hauled up at a very slow pace. But when the shot switches and there's a close-up on Will, the clock has disappeared. Despite the angle change, we should still be able to see the clock. There hasn't been enough time for it to have moved out of shot. (00:11:20)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Actually the clock is simply out of shot. If you listen you can hear the creaking where it's still moving and if you watch the two ropes behind Will you will see they are still raising and on the post behind Beckett you can see the shadows raising too. So the clock just simply isn't in the shot.

9th Apr 2005
The Little Mermaid (1989)
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Ariel saves Eric after the ship has exploded he has boots on yet when Ariel has brought him up onto shore they are off, they couldn't have fallen off since they in that time period men wore boots that have to be taken off to at least to the heal and Ariel is tying to save him so she wouldn't take the time to get them off, and leather tends to tighten up when thoroughly soaked so that is another factor to why they shouldn't have come off this also happens at the end of the film after Ursula has been killed.
