Thomas & Friends: King of the Railway picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Percy is talking to Stephen, Thomas reverses down the track he has arrived on and stops. But when Percy leaves, Thomas has mysteriously disappeared. Also, the track Thomas was on ends at some buffers behind him and leads to the turntable in front of him, but that was set to Percy's line.

Epic picture

Continuity mistake: As in most movies I've seen where size is a main factor, the animators did not pay much attention to scale. In the scene where the main character leads the leaf people to her father's house, she is jumping and lands on the thinnest pencils I've ever seen. They have the width of the pencil smaller than her foot. However later on, it is shown that a push pin is almost the size of her body.
