Character mistake: In the Swedish version, Riley's first name is changed to Jenny. However, in the scene where Joy, Sadness, and Bing Bong are inside the soundstage of Dream Productions, the director can be heard calling Riley by her original name twice. (00:52:40 - 00:53:40)

Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022)
Continuity mistake: After Dracula wakes up from being unintentionally knocked out by Johnny, they find themselves at the top of a very high cliff. There are two shots featuring Dracula and Johnny with the entire cliff visible; in the second shot, as they are falling, Johnny and Dracula appear to have shrunk tremendously. (00:52:30 - 00:53:00)

Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022)
Plot hole: In Hotel Transylvania 2, at the end of the main characters' visit to Camp Winnepacaca, we learn that vampires cannot hypnotize other vampires, but in this movie, during the chase scene where Dracula attempts to restore Johnny to his human form, Dracula successfully hypnotizes Dennis to eliminate any witnesses. Since Dennis has been a vampire since the second movie, he should not have been able to be hypnotized. (00:21:30)

Megamind (2010)
Deliberate mistake: Regarding one of Megamind's lines when he is speaking in front of the citizens of Metro City after having supposedly defeated Metro Man: "Imagine the most horrible, terrifying, evil thing you can possibly you can think of... and multiply it by six." In the Swedish dub, the 'six' is substituted with a 'five' [most likely due to 'six' and 'sex' in Swedish having the same spelling and pronunciation, and wanting to avoid any unintentional sexual innuendos].

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (2020)
Deliberate mistake: In the Swedish dub, they euphemistically replace the words "execution" with "punishment."

Beauty and the Beast (2017)
Audio problem: When the wolves attack Maurice and Philippe, the wolves make growls that only big cats (lions/tigers) would make.

Hotel Transylvania (2012)
Character mistake: When Dracula puts Johnny on a time-out, it is shown that Dracula has the ability of psychokinesis. Yet during the scene when Mavis visits the human village, when one of the dressed up zombies loses its head, Dracula jumps into the scene to physically put the head back to its body, further risking being spotted by Mavis, which he wanted to avoid. (00:16:15)
Suggested correction: Using this power would also be a risk of Mavis finding out because his magic has blue effects around which she would spot.
I doubt that, she was facing the opposite direction of the headless zombie the entire time, and the zombie didn't stand too close to her. However, I have realised that the magic does seem to make sound, and the headless zombie did stand close enough to Mavis for her to would have heard Dracula's magic if he were to have used it.
Even with the sound, I doubt she would have noticed when there are what looks like villagers approaching her with pitchforks and torches.

Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Question: Gaston sings that he ate eggs to help him get large. Why didn't he say meat? Was he vegetarian? Was Disney deliberately supporting vegetarianism/respecting vegetarians? Are there any historical circumstances that I'm not aware of? Or am I just overanalyzing this matter?
Answer: Eggs are full of protein. Eating a lot of eggs is an excellent way to bulk up and build muscle mass.
Eggs are not good for you if you eat too many of them.
To quote Stephen Fry: "Well of course too much is bad for you, that's what "too much" means. If you had too much water it would be bad for you, wouldn't it? "Too much" precisely means that quantity which is excessive, that's what it means. Could you ever say "too much water is good for you"? I mean if it's too much it's too much. Too much of anything is too much. Obviously." That aside, while it used to be believed that the cholesterol content of eggs was a health risk, more recent studies have shown that dietary cholesterol doesn't affect blood cholesterol levels for most people. As such there's no real maximum limit on egg consumption beyond the aforementioned "too much of anything is too much".
I don't think Gaston cares much about his cholesterol.
They didn't even know the word.
Answer: While I was waiting for this question to be accepted, I found the answer to one of my questions myself. Gaston is indeed not vegetarian, considering he mentions his hunting trophies during the aforementioned song and earlier in the movie, he tells Belle to imagine him roasting his kill on the fire place.

Family Guy (1999)
A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Bucks - S2-E11
Other mistake: Brian says he met Antonio Monatti when he was with Andy Warhol in the '70s. This is an impossibility. Only several episodes earlier (in episode Brian in Love), we find out that Brian is 7 years old.

Robin Hood (1973)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, when we see Prince John marching from a significant distance, there are 18 rhino guards walking in front of the two elephants who are dragging Prince John's wagon. In the next shot when the camera is closer to the march, there are only 12.

Common mistakes
Deliberate mistake: Characters who are being confined in an area (typically inside cages, prisons cells, et cetera) that provides enough space for the character to escape, but they still consider themselves stuck (e.g. the iron bars of a cage/prison cell having enough distance between each other to allow the character to squeeze through between them). This is more common in cartoons and animated films.

Family Guy (1999)
Yug Ylimaf - S11-E4
Continuity mistake: In reversed time, we see Cleveland falling back to the inside of his house that had just been wrecked by Peter who launched himself with a cannon into it. The camera zooms in on Cleveland as he falls back to the inside of his house, only for Peter to suddenly be visible along with an additional piece of the roof taken away, after the area in which Peter would appear on and the roof-piece disappear at was off-camera for a few seconds.

Question: As Jackson manages to get hold of the map that leads to the arks in China, he tells Gordon, his ex-wife and kids that they'll need a bigger plane. Why do they need a bigger plane? (01:05:00)
Answer: The small plane they were flying on would likely not have the range to get across the Pacific to Tibet, even assuming there were still intact islands where it was possible to refuel.

Answer: He saw through the trick that Hux was pulling, being shot in a non-vital spot. He probably did not know 'for sure' but it's a scene that has the purpose to depict him as astute and ruthless. Let's say chances were very high that Hux was the spy (high ranking, with a disdain for the Supreme Leader, and now he conveniently lets the prisoner escape) and he had such disregard for human life that he had no second thoughts about a slim chance of murdering an innocent - and in best case scenario, incompetent - officer.

The way they handled it was deus ex machina. It looked like the filmmakers wanted to end this plot point as fast as possible, and the way the spy was dealt with was an asspull. Logically speaking, it should have taken them some time to find out who the traitor was.
