Suggested correction: The Grinch picks up the cane, then hits the Christmas ornament with it. The ornament goes past the Christmas tree (in front of it), then knocks the other ornaments off the tree. What is the mistake? The ornament is not supposed to go behind or "under" the tree.

The green branches (i.e. the tree) that the ornament passes over are several inches off the ground, and therefore it shouldn't have rolled over them since it's supposed to be on the ground. In the next shot, we see the ornament rolling on the ground, where it is rolling under the branches before hitting the base and jumping up the tree.

You are correct. I first thought the mistake was talking about a layering issue, where the ornament was supposed to be layered behind the tree, or something. I'm not sure how I misunderstood that, but nonetheless, you're right.

Other mistake: When the Grinch is cutting Max's antler, the pieces that have fallen on the floor suddenly jump several inches closer to Max.

Narrator: "Pooh-pooh to the Whos" he was grinchily humming.
The Grinch: They're finding out now that no Christmas is coming. They're just waking up, I know just what they'll do. Their mouths will hang open a minute or two. Then the Whos down in Whoville will all cry "booo-hooo."
