Revealing mistake: Laying in bed asleep, Lulu has a sucker swinging on a string to and from her mouth as she snores. When we first see her, after the sucker leaves her mouth the first time, her hair has a glitch. For a few frames, one loop of her hair vanishes, and then comes back. This repeats each time the sucker moves away from her. (00:00:45)

Revealing mistake: As Lulu is pulling her fishing pole out of the school steps, you see if you watch closely that the pole actually passes through the concrete of the steps rather than her lifting it over. (00:02:00)

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When Lulu lands on the book, before the drawing of a donkey attacks her, there is a wooden sign hanging that says school. The edges are quite jagged. After a bit of singing from the school house, another shot of the same sign shows it much less jagged. The style of the letters also change as well, and the metal part of the sign holding the sign to the post. (00:04:05 - 00:05:45)

Questions

Question: After the Shoulder Angel appears on Lulu's stick and says that she's playing hooky, and it's a bad sign, the Shoulder Demon then appears and says some snarky remarks to the Angel. I have listened to that part over and over again trying to catch it, but I can't quite make out what the demon says, and the DVD does not have subtitles. To the best I can tell, it sounds like the shoulder demon appears and says "Naaaa! Take a powder, sister! Fishin’s for fishes, hairline." But that doesn't make any sense. Can someone tell me what she actually says? And then after the angel tells Lulu that if she doesn't go to school, she will grow up to be a mule, the demon says another line I can't quite make out, but sounds like she says "Ahhh! your brother's mustache!" as she pulls the Angel's halo down over her. What does she actually say there?
