Howard the Duck mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the Overlord is about to explode the Ketchup and mustard bottles, the Ketchup cap is either loose or tight depending on the angle.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the Cheshire cat reappears to show the way to the Queen's castle the branch on the right keeps changing style in almost every shot. It doesn't have to do with fantasy, dreams or anything plot-wise.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: The handwriting on the "Don't step" sign changes between shots, specially the apostrophe on the first sign.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Alice sees the first sign of the sentence "Don't step on the mome raths", it has 3 nails, one on the middle upper part and two on the middle lower part. A shot later there are just two nails on each opposite side of the upper part.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Alice leaves the Hatter and Hare the wide shot of them toasting not only does it not show all the mess they've made, but it is the exact very first shot we saw of them when Alice arrived.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the Mad Hatter pours jam in the clock the mess on the table disappears. Also, all along that scene the objects around are not continuous between shots.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the hare tells Alice it's very rude to show up uninvited the pink teapot to her right disappears and the spoon swaps from straight to bent.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: The colour and position of the teapots on the Mad Hatter's table is an absolute chaos: First they're pink, yellow and white, then in the close-up green and blue teapots appear. When Alice stands by the head of the table the colours change again and they stop moving despite the music still sounding.
