Hugo (2011)
Continuity mistake: When the automaton starts writing it stops the first time with the pen tip over a small figure made of three blocks.

The shot changes back to the pen tip and it is still over the small, three-block figure. This is impossible as moving the elbow all the way back would have moved the pen away from the drawing.
