Other mistake: After the flood, Ponyo uses her magic to enlarge the ship along with all its accessories. At the end of the journey, Ponyo loses her magical powers and the ship shrinks back along with all the ship's accessories. A captain's hat is among the shrunk accessories, although Sosuke used it from the beginning of the film and it was always adult human size.

Factual error: In the very first scene a giant squid swims past Fujimoto. It swims in the wrong direction however, with its tentacles in front. In reality squid swim backwards.
