Visible crew/equipment: After Tonda forces Atouk to eat the flower's fruit (looks like a radish) Atouk gets dizzy, and when he falls backwards the corner of the grey crash mat can be seen on the grass, at the bottom of the screen.

1 visible crew/equipment mistake

Other mistake: Dennis Quaid is supposed to be frozen in a wall of ice but if you watch closely, and very quickly, you can see him blink his eyes.
Question: What song is everyone whistling while they're carrying the giant egg?
Answer: The song being played is "Colonel Bogey March", which has the whistling in it. No one carrying the egg were whistling themselves though. Although in one shot I did see a character breathing out (something people do when lifting or carrying heavy things) which might look like he's whistling.

Answer: The music playing while they are carrying the giant egg is from, "The Bridge on the River Kwai." It's a classic World War II movie, soldiers marching into a Japanese prison camp are whistling that tune.
