Alice in Wonderland

Continuity mistake: When Alice sees the first sign of the sentence "Don't step on the mome raths", it has 3 nails, one on the middle upper part and two on the middle lower part. A shot later there are just two nails on each opposite side of the upper part.

Continuity mistake: When Alice leaves the Hatter and Hare the wide shot of them toasting not only does it not show all the mess they've made, but it is the exact very first shot we saw of them when Alice arrived.

Continuity mistake: When the Mad Hatter pours jam in the clock the mess on the table disappears. Also, all along that scene the objects around are not continuous between shots.

Continuity mistake: When the hare tells Alice it's very rude to show up uninvited the pink teapot to her right disappears and the spoon swaps from straight to bent.

Continuity mistake: The colour and position of the teapots on the Mad Hatter's table is an absolute chaos: First they're pink, yellow and white, then in the close-up green and blue teapots appear. When Alice stands by the head of the table the colours change again and they stop moving despite the music still sounding.

Continuity mistake: The Cheshire cat says "of course he's mad too" while standing on the middle part of a very long branch. Shot swaps to a front angle and the branch is shorter and he is really close to the tree trunk.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Alice becomes a giant a wide shot of the garden shows the main entrance's broken door leaning on her left foot. First of all, the rabbit managed to open it before she burst it with her right foot. Second of all, when she shrinks, the door appears magically back in its place. And no, it's not a different door because at 00:21:05 we see the house and there is no door where her left foot later comes out through.

Suggested correction: All throughout the growth sequence, the rabbit was shown by Alice's right foot. It could be possible this specific door on the left is a different door altogether.

Continuity mistake: The rabbit's grandfather clock that was in the garden about to be burnt magically appears inside the house when Alice shrinks.

Queen of Hearts: Who's been painting my roses red? WHO'S been painting MY roses RED? /Who dares to taint / With vulgar paint / The royal flower bed? / For painting my roses red / Someone will lose his head.
Card Painter: Oh no, Your Majesty, please! It's all his fault.
Card Painter: Not me, your grace! The ace, the ace.
Queen of Hearts: You?
Card Painter: No, two.
Queen of Hearts: The deuce, you say?
Card Painter: Not me! The three.
Queen of Hearts: That's enough! Off with their heads.

Question: In the scene when the Mad Hatter is "fixing" the rabbit's watch, the Hatter exclaims "It was!" before the rabbit states that the watch was an unbirthday present. Is this on purpose? Or an editing mistake?

Answer: Actually, the White Rabbit sees his damaged watch, says "Oh! My watch". THEN the Mad Hatter says "It was!", then the White Rabbit says that it was an unbirthday gift. So the exchange of dialogue makes sense.

CCARNI

Answer: I think it is an editing mistake. The Mad Hatter is way too excited as if he had just heard it was an unbirthday present.
