Despicable Me (2010)
Continuity mistake: The girls shoot the freeze ray at Gru and he gets covered in ice. After his flashback he falls back and the ice shatters. But when Gru says "But I...", the ice has disappeared.
Suggested correction: Actually, the ice is still there, it's just out of view.
While it is out of view, that would mean it'd be visible in the reflection of the TV screen when it turns off. But it isn't. Therefore, it does disappear.
The only thing that can be seen when the television turns off is a very faint reflection of Gru. It is impossible to tell if the ice is or isn't there.
Yeah, though ice is just not in the camera view.

Despicable Me (2010)
Continuity mistake: In the very first shot of inside the orphanage, the tape mark on the floor is at least 3 feet away from the desk. The three girls stand behind it and 2 shots later we can see they are standing about an inch away from the desk. Then when Miss Hattie stands up, the tape is now a foot away from the table.

Despicable Me (2010)
Continuity mistake: When Gru is explaining his plan to the minions, one of them takes out a torpedo and fires. The torpedo is held by one of the taller minions at first, but after the torpedo has fired and Gru says "Hey, Dave", we can see the torpedo was held by one of the smaller minions.
Suggested correction: The minion holding the torpedo was a small one all along. The taller one is probably just one in the crowd. If you look closely when the minions grab their weapons, Dave, the one who held it in the first place, is a short minion holding a torpedo.

Wreck-It Ralph (2012)
Deliberate mistake: When Felix is about to receive his first medal, a few things change in a cut to a close-up. The building has grown much wider (32 notches under the roof compared to 22 before), giving the Nicelanders room to carry Ralph before throwing him, when previously Ralph was already against the edge. Additionally, a pair of large clouds has popped into the middle of the screen to cover the medal before it appears, which may have been considered too distracting to include in the previous shot. Later on, the medals which are engraved with Felix's name in-game instead bear a bas-relief hammer and gain a white stripe through the center of the ribbon when shown in 3D, a rather drastic change for what is only meant to be a view in greater detail. (Official recreations of the game work around the first issue by reducing the distances covered by objects on the roof to begin with.). (00:01:50)

He's getting his own show?!", they are standing next to Peter's house. Cleveland's house however, is across the street from Peter's house and could have not been able to stand next to Peter's house if they are at Cleveland's house. (00:03:20)

20th Feb 2013
The Cleveland Show (2009)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, it is the middle of the night when it shows the first shot of The Drunken Clam. This is at the very beginning of the episode and not the first scene after the opening titles by the way. But after Cleveland says he lost the house to Loretta in his divorce, Quagmire asks him where he is going to live. Cleveland replies by asking Quagmire if he can stay at his house. When he says this, it is now the middle of the day. You can notice this from all the other open windows in all the other booths, revealing the daylight. (00:00:05)
