Add something

Corrected entry: While the mouse is listening to "Baby Mine," watch his eyes. During one shot, I think it's the first one of him swaying back and forth and smiling, the white around his pupils suddenly turns to gray.

Correction: Just watched this and his eyes remain white throughout the entire scene.

THGhost

Corrected entry: In the scene where the ringmaster is explaining his new idea for a performance to the janitor, he mentions "until finally all seventeen elephants have constructed an enormous pyramid", but in the elephant pyramid scene there is only 7-8 elephants.

ridley

Correction: The remaining elephants would have to be trained, yet. They won't instantly know how to do it, and can't all be trained at once.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: At the end of "When I See an Elephant Fly," the crows laugh and tumble to the ground. In the two shots of them laughing on the ground, you can see a crow dressed in red and pink with a cigar in his mouth on the left side of the screen. This crow plus the four other crows in the shot PLUS the leader of the crows equals six crows. Throughout the rest of the sequence, there are only five crows, and the extra crow is never seen again.
