Cars 2 (2011)

Corrected entry: When, at the Tokyo airport, Mater is driving while pulling McMissile behind him, McMissile fires a rocket from his headlight. You can see that his wheels are spinning in a forward motion even though he is being pulled by Mater.

Correction: This is a naturally occurring effect. Turn a floor fan on hi and switch it off and as it gets slower it appears to slow stop and reverse but continues the same direction until stopped.

Wall-E (2008)

Corrected entry: The design of the Axiom doesn't make any sense. In order for it to have artificial gravity The Axiom must rotate (like when you swing a bucket of water over your head and the water doesn't fall), but the Axiom doesn't rotate yet it has artificial gravity.

dux

Correction: It is a convention of science fiction films that gravity can be generated from the deck plating inside the ship; a future technology that does not rely on centrifugal force to generate artificial gravity.

Wall-E (2008)

Corrected entry: At the end of the film when EVE is repairing Wall-e she takes out his old burned board and replaces it with a new one. Later when they hold hands she comes close and electrocutes him and his memory is back. How is that possible when his central processor (board) is burned and gone? The song that EVE tries to play on him is gone, but not his memory. It doesn't make any sense.

dux

Correction: Whatever anomaly that gave WALL-E his personality, even though he's not meant to be either virtually or artificially intelligent, allowed him to retain his memories.

Wall-E (2008)

Corrected entry: When Wall-e shows the plant to EVE, in space, it should have disintegrated because it contains fluids which evaporate in space (even in such a small period of time).

dux

Correction: "Contained" being the operative word here. The cellular walls of the plant prevented the fluids from evaporating, just like the cellular walls of a human being's dermal layer of skin keep the fluid in his or her cells from evaporating in space.

Phixius

Corrected entry: In the tea party when the Hatter gives Alice a potion to shrink she gulps and refuses more. Right after that, in the next shot, she continues to cough even though her lips don't move.

dux

Correction: Coughs come from the throat and don't require any movement of the lips; it's very easy to cough even with your mouth closed.

BocaDavie

Corrected entry: When the mouse removes the Bantersnatch's eye and a day later, Alice steals it she gives it back to the Bantersnatch and it puts it back in. Since the eyeballs are the first to rot it wouldn't be possible for the creature to see with it, nor for the eyeball to look fine.

dux

Correction: This is a fantasy. Rabbits don't talk, cats don't float in the air and disappear, and so much more. Suspension of disbelief is required, as what happens in Wonderland is fanciful and doesn't follow our laws of physics.
