Frozen II picture

Continuity mistake: When Anna's singing "The next right thing" she puts a bag on her shoulder, with the strap on top of her hair. After the camera spins round her, her hair is suddenly on top of the strap. This bears a strong similarity to the mistake in the original Frozen where Elsa's hair passes through her shoulder - might be a deliberate nod, or else animating hair around objects is difficult enough that shortcuts are often taken.

Toy Story 4 picture

Continuity mistake: The flashback at the beginning of the film takes place at Andy's previous house, but this couldn't happen because Jessie (who is present in the flashback) was never at the old house. You can tell because the new house is brick, with the driveway on the right, whereas the old house has blue siding and the driveway on the left.
