Continuity mistake: After Danny gets mad at Walter for catching the ball that his Dad threw for him, he throws his glove down on the floor and runs inside. In the next shot the glove is in a different location.
Zathura (2005)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Jon Favreau
Starring: Frank Oz, Tim Robbins, Kristen Stewart, Josh Hutcherson, Dax Shepard, Jonah Bobo
Walter gets a second star wish and wishes that the astronaut had his brother back. In a flash of gleaming light a second Danny appears. The astronut hugs the second Danny, then says "I came back for you." Danny 1 touches Danny 2 and Danny 2 gets sucked into him. The astronaut transforms into Walter when he touches Walter and then gets sucked into him also. The stranded astronaut was the future Walter. Danny wins the game and suddenly everyone gets sucked into Zathura, which is actually a black hole. Suddenly Danny is back home in front of the board game, about to press the "go" button. Walter and Danny appear to have settled their sibling rivalry. As they are walking towards their mother's car, Lisa tells them to never speak of it again and the red bycicle falls from the sky.....

Trivia: To make the robot in the movie, first they used a small puppet and had the puppeteers under the floor controlling it through sticks. To make the huge robot, they had a "bam bot" for ramming through walls and windows, a technical robot that had all the circuitry to make the antennae move and the nose to steam, and a version where there were only the feet and the body (they would later animate the arms and legs.) The robot was more mechanics than electronics.
Question: When Danny presses the button, the red spaceship moves onto a white space. Later in the movie, after accepting the astronauts' help, all three discover that the red spaceship is now on a blue space. How could it have gotten there? Neither Danny or Walter kicked the board and Danny never actually moved it from its original position since they had to deal with getting rid of the Zorgons.

Answer: If you are talking about the part where Walter says that Danny cheated and Danny says "someone must have kicked the board", you're right, no one did kick the board. After again being asked if he moved the piece, Danny says "maybe I moved the piece by accident." I think this implies that Danny cheated and moved the piece himself, which is why it was on a different coloured space.
Except, it never showed Danny moving the piece at all. When Walter moved Danny's piece back to the space it was originally on, the game shot out a card accusing Walter of cheating and tried ejecting him out of the house. If Danny had moved the piece by accident and therefore technically cheated, it kind of raises the question as to why he never received a card accusing him of cheating and ejecting him from the house as well.
I think the answer to this is in the card's text - "Caught cheating" I believe this implies that since Walter was observed physically moving a piece by the other player, that is what triggered the cheating detection. Nobody saw Danny move his piece, so he was technically not caught cheating in the moment. So, ostensibly, one may be able to cheat as long as they are not caught by the other player.
