Spy Kids (2001)

Corrected entry: When Juni is running in the halls of Floop's castle somewhere late in the movie, he is about to turn a corner, but when the angle changes, we all of a sudden see a completely white room with white supporting beams. Floop's castle seems to be a real set. If it is just comp animation (doubtful) all comp added shots are either filmed on green or blue screen. This baffles me as to why they would do this in the movie. THIS MAY BE DELETED ON THE DVD.

Correction: This is not deleted on the DVD. This white/grey room with angular support beams is to the left of the virtual room in Floop's castle. There is no mistake, CG or otherwise, here.

Spy Kids (2001)

Corrected entry: In the scene where the villain talks about how the only thing that would make him feel comfortable is to see his army, Minion put his hand on his shoulder. If you look closely you can see a line on his hand showing that it is a glove.

Correction: When Minion puts his hand on Lisp's shoulder, in the first front close-up, the cuff of his shirt sticks out a bit under his suit sleeve, just over the wrinkled creases in his skin, due to the protruding extra hands. Then in the side close-up there are only wrinkled creases between his hands and the suit. Unfortunately, there is no line that would reveal that it's a glove in these specific shots.

I have to disagree with this correction. I see an outline of the glove too right after he says "They're on their way now sir." Especially if you consider that the line appears to be perfectly circular (as a glove would be), the skin behind it is very smooth, and its going all the way around his wrist which is awfully far for a wrinkle line to go around. It's a bit easier to see when it's paused here 1:13:05 if that helps. After all, at the end of the day, they did use a glove for this scene.

Corrected entry: At the safehouse when the buddypack is flying about the room, the camera zooms in on Ms. Gradenko as she says something like, "What's wrong with you, they're just children." As she says this look closely at the bottom right of the screen; what appears to be one of the mics used in the film pops up but then quickly goes down.

Correction: I went frame by frame in order to get the proper timecode, but there is no mic. It is Ms. Gradenko's hand that pops in and out of shot.

Corrected entry: When Gregorio almost hits the crossing guard, you see children pass her going to the left of him, but when Juni gets out, you can see that the school is to the right of him. Why would the children be leaving school in the morning?

Correction: The school is to the left of the parked car, which the same direction that all the children walk toward and the same direction that Juni walks toward.
