City Hall picture

Revealing mistake: When Kevin shows the Mayor the Times editorial about the judge he quotes a phrase from the article about whether the man would be a judge if not a former law partner of the mayor. Unlike many newspaper articles shown in films where if you read the article text it is actually jibberish, here it is a legitimate article criticizing the way judges are elected, but some parts are repeated, and it states nothing about the judge being a former law partner of the mayor.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame picture

Revealing mistake: At the start of the montage in which Frollo ransacks Paris for the gypsy girl, the shot of the three soldiers kicking down the baker's door very briefly places the more distant soldier off to the right "in front" of the closer central soldier; this is a case of incorrect animation cel layering.

The Arrival picture

Revealing mistake: When Kiki's legs "reverse" at the end of the film as he runs off, watch closely. It is clear the effect was achieved through some shoddy image-manipulation. His clothing and hands "warp" slightly a few times around his legs.
