Corrected entry: Pleasantville's basketball team is known for never losing a game to any other school. But in the movie, there's nothing outside of Pleasantville; all the Pleasantville people say so. If this is true, who is the Pleasantville basketball team playing against?
Corrected entry: Cheeseburgers were unknown in Pleasantville before Jennifer's and David's entrance. How come Skip ordered one on his first date with Mary-Sue? (00:28:30)
Corrected entry: When Bud shows the art book to Bill, he is looking through it on the counter. After a lot of close-ups of turning pages they end up sitting at a table. (00:59:45)
Correction: It's a big book full of pages, it's entirely feasible that they got up and mooved into a more comfortable position, there is no suggestion that the opening to the closing of the book is in real time.
Corrected entry: When the Black and White people turn coloured, their clothes change too. Whereas when Betty Parker turns coloured, it's only her head that changes and not her clothes.
Correction: Some people in Pleasantville changed gradually, like the girl whose tongue & lips turned color first before the rest of her did. Others changed suddenly. Not everyone is meant to change at the same pace, so this inconsistency is not a mistake.
Corrected entry: When the tree in front of Bud's house flares up people stop and watch in shock. Therefore, it doesn't make sense that the firemen are unable to see the fire when they arrive by car, only later when Bud shows them how to use their equipment. The firemen don't even look into the direction of the fire when they come to the scene; on the other hand, passers by stop and look very much as if they realize the danger. (00:46:20)
Correction: The firemen are able to see the fire, they have just never had to put one out before, because it was originally impossible to have a fire in any dangerous way in Pleasantville. They look at the fire, but do not know what to do, as all they have ever had to do is save cats trapped in trees, and so Bud/David has to show them how to work their equipment.
Corrected entry: Since the citizens of Pleasantville don't know what, if anything, is outside of Pleasantville, then why is there an American Flag flying outside the high school?
Correction: They still know that they live in the USA. Whether they know anything about it or not.
Corrected entry: When Margaret hands some cookies over to Bud the arrangement of cookies on the plate is different in close-up. The rather precarious pile must have been glued in some way otherwise it wouldn't have survived the handing over. (00:48:20)
Correction: The magic of Pleasantville isn't totally broken yet, they didn't fall off because that's how it would have been done on the TV show. Just because they can't make perfect baskets anymore doesn't mean girls can't stack and pass perfect piles of cookies.
Correction: A crosstown rival, perhaps? Obviously there are plenty of cities and towns with more than one high school. Granted, one school always losing isn't very pleasant, but that's irrelevant, given that the only important school is the one that the main characters of the sitcom go to.
