Continuity mistake: In animated Giselle's home, there is a tree-stump table directly in front of the fireplace, with art brushes, etc upon it. The table disappears when all the little furry animals are flying out of the fireplace. (00:01:40)
Factual error: When animated Giselle begins to sing and brushes her hair, the reflection of her "one true love" is visible in the mirror. Problem is that its image is not reversed in the reflection. (00:02:00)
Continuity mistake: After the turtle gives animated Giselle the red rose, she places it on the jacket of her "one true love". In the following shots, the rose repeatedly disappears and then reappears, particularly in the close-ups. (00:03:10)
Continuity mistake: When animated Giselle happily sings and dances, in the shot before she places the red rose on her "one true love", the room's round window is behind her. The very large vase with the bouquet of flowers is gone from the shelf beside the window, as are the other objects on the lower shelf. (00:03:10)
Continuity mistake: When the animated old hag pushes Giselle into the well, as Giselle begins to transform her only jewelry is a necklace, but when she lands on the manhole cover she is also wearing earrings. (00:09:40 - 00:11:15)
Continuity mistake: Before cartoon Giselle enters the castle, two rabbits add a waistband with a slip knot on her back. When she is in the real world, the waistband is missing. (00:09:40 - 00:11:15)
Continuity mistake: When Giselle tells the old man that things such as a smile could lift her spirits, her tiara is placed normally on her head. After the brief close-up of the man's toothless grin, Giselle's tiara is now positioned forward, to make it easier for the man to snatch. (00:14:15)
Continuity mistake: The argument at Churchill Hairline and Smith LLP office about the Baseball card between the married couple, at the near end of the scene when Ryan is about to leave, the lady says "Let me think" while her hand is resting on her chin. When the camera angle changes her hand is oddly placed on the table. (00:15:25)
Continuity mistake: After receiving the phone call from Nancy, when Robert and Morgan are talking in the taxi, his seatbelt repeatedly changes from over to under his trench coat collar. (00:16:45)
Visible crew/equipment: When Giselle is up on the Palace Casino billboard platform, after Robert shows up she says, "I was wondering if maybe you," and we are able to see under her huge hoop skirt. There are at least three long wide safety straps dangling behind her thighs, which are not in previous or following shots when we can see under her hoop skirt. (00:18:50)
Continuity mistake: When Giselle falls off the billboard platform, as she hangs onto the ledge in the close-ups the metal surface is completely dry, whereas everything else is wet from the pouring rain. There is no canopy protecting the platform. (00:19:00)
Visible crew/equipment: At the apartment, after Giselle falls asleep on the couch, when Robert says, "Just because she has on a funny dress, doesn't mean she's a princess," and a few shots later, when he stands to call for a taxi, the side of the camera and the boom mic are reflected in the window to Robert's right. The boom mic moves in both shots, but the camera moves only in the second. (Only visible on widescreen DVD.) (00:22:10)
Continuity mistake: When Giselle opens the window in Robert's apartment, in the exterior shot, to sing for furry cleaning help, there is a set of three windows to her right, with a balcony. Odd thing is, in the interior shots the window she sang from is to the left of the couch, but to the right of the couch there are three French doors, not windows, that open to the balcony. (00:25:20)
Continuity mistake: During the cleanup, when Giselle opens the center French doors and stands on the balcony to sing, the window she sang from earlier is directly beside the balcony, to the right. The problem here is, in the interior shots there is a wall that is about 7-8 ft wide, between the French doors and window, where the couch is. (00:27:10)
Continuity mistake: After Morgan smacks Robert with the pillow to wake him up, in the shot from the bedroom, she runs past the bedroom doorway pulling his left hand, but next shot, from the hallway, she's now pulling his right hand. (00:28:30)
Continuity mistake: During her first morning at Robert's apartment, Giselle has made a gown out of the living room draperies, but the remaining drapes on the windows are a very faded turquoise floral and the color of Giselle's dress material is a bright turquoise floral, which is actually more similar in color to the lamp on the table. (00:32:00)
Revealing mistake: The first morning, when Robert takes Giselle to work, they enter atrium of the Time Warner Center (the well-known statue of the female Giselle admires is one of a set, the other is male), which is located at 8th Ave and Broadway, at the southwest corner of Central Park. Upstairs, when Sam tells Robert that she can't find where Giselle is from, and then when Giselle speaks to Phoebe, the very distinctive Johnson Lipstick Building (it's reddish and has three receding oval-shaped levels) at 53rd and 3rd is seen outside the window. The office scene is obviously not filmed at Time Warner, because it's impossible to be in an office at 8th and Broadway, on the West Side, and be next door to a building located at 53rd and 3rd, on the East Side. (00:35:40 - 00:40:35)
Continuity mistake: At Katz's deli, when Pip stands on the cup scooping up the ice cube, the fork on the tray is to the right of the blue ticket. When Pip stands on the tray the ticket has moved to the tray's edge, and the fork is now to the ticket's left. (00:39:45)
Continuity mistake: At Central Park, when Giselle stops at the park bench and hands Clara the money, the tall black lamppost stands a few feet to Clara's left - between her bench and the next bench. When Giselle and Robert walk away, as she says, "And she was very helpful," Clara's bench is much farther away from that lamppost. Also, note the greater distance between Clara and the bench to her left and the park's signpost at the road's curve. (00:44:05)
Continuity mistake: When Giselle gives the doves the heart shaped wreath to deliver to Nancy, as they fly off both sides of the wreath are seen. When Nancy thanks Robert for the flowers, the blooms differ. (00:50:30 - 00:52:35)
Answer: Obviously, Giselle didn't know. She was shoved into the wishing well by the hag and had no idea what had happened to her. Edward, being familiar with his stepmother's magic, was better prepared.
