The Little Mermaid mistake picture

Revealing mistake: Ariel swims underwater and opens a book with stiff and easy-to-flip pages that produce a flutter sound when turned. The paper should be either soggy, or with its pages stuck together or even dissolved, and in no case sound and look as if it were dry.

The Wizard of Oz mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When the Munchkins say goodbye to Dorothy while singing "Follow the Yellow Brick Road," the lower part of the screen is an absolute mess: footage of Munchkins superimposes with other footage of Munchkins, creating a blurry havoc, plus the matte painted flowers, hut, and people clip through the real actors.

Gladiator II mistake picture

Revealing mistake: During the riot at the bleachers, a soldier grabs an arrow from the quiver, places it on the bow, tightens the string, and aims to shoot. The problem is, he's mimicking all the movements. He didn't pick up an arrow in the first place. Seemingly, someone forgot to place the CGI arrow. (02:09:02)
