Continuity mistake: A bird with a violin begins shooting off his bows like arrows, and they all follow the same trajectory and go over some flute dogs' heads. They don't duck in time for a couple of them and their wigs are taken off. The bows then fly and put the wigs on an elephant and a hippo, but at different angles. They should have been coming in at the same angle. (00:05:30)

Then Lois shouts out "Thanks Chief" and dashes off before he can respond and the image cuts to a different angle. Now suddenly the letter is straight on his desk like it was before he turned it.
