Audio problem: At the beginning, when Zuko says "Look, Uncle!", his mouth doesn't move.

The Last Airbender (2010)
Suggested correction: Zuko is facing away from the camera as he says, "Uncle, look!" But you can actually see his chin moving as he says the line, if you look closely.

The Ember Island Players - S3-E17
Other mistake: When they are watching the recap play Toph says she can't see it because they are on a balcony, but when her character comes on she describes him as buff.
Suggested correction: She didn't see him (or technically, feel him), but she heard him. The actor playing her character throws the huge prop rock, and it hits the stage floor. Then, he flexes his muscles. Toph heard all this happening from her seat and then said, "I sound like a guy. A really buff guy."

The Boy in the Iceberg - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In this episode, Katara remarks that "This ship has haunted my tribe since Gran Gran was a little girl. " However, in the episode "The Puppetmaster" it is revealed the ship wasn't beached there until Gran Gran was in her late teens or early twenties.
Suggested correction: If Gran Gran was really in her late teens or early twenties during the Southern Water Tribe raids, that can still be considered a "little girl," since she is in her eighties in the show.
Suggested correction: You sure that was the same ship, and what's 5-10 years give or take compared to Gran-Gran's life anyway?

Toy Story (1995)
Character mistake: Mr Potato Head gets torn apart by baby Molly after the opening scene. When Andy returns to the room with Buzz everyone resumes their positions, but Mr Potato Head looks for his bits and sits under the shelf with the other toys.
Suggested correction: I don't get it. When Andy and the boys are going to his room, all the toys scramble to get back into place. Mr. Potato Head is missing his left ear, and he slightly panics. When the boys get to the room, Mr. Potato Head is under the crib with his left ear back in place; he found it off screen. It's appropriate for him to look for any missing pieces of his before rushing back into place.

Plot hole: Because Katara lost her mothers necklace, Aang made one for her and she puts it on. But when they reach The Fortunetellers village, Katara is not wearing the necklace, and no one notices, not even Aang.

Imprisoned - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: When the gang meets Haru, Katara teleports from behind a log (shoulder still visible) in one shot to greeting Haru several yards in front of the log a split second later. (00:02:50)
Suggested correction: That's because the second shot is a jump cut. The trio first sees Haru from behind the log, and after Sokka says, "He looks dangerous, so we better approach cautiously," the scene jumps forward in time to Katara greeting Haru further away from the log. Katara simply got closer to Haru, which was not shown.

Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred (2011)

Visible crew/equipment: When Kevin crashes his bike into the trash cans near the end, as he screams, "Figglehorn!", a small part of the camera's shadow can be seen at the bottom of the screen. Then, when the camera tilts downwards as Kevin says, "Mommy," it becomes more visible. (01:19:07)
Suggested correction: I rewatched this scene, and I'm not quite sure about this one. The shadow doesn't seem to move at all when the camera does, so perhaps I was wrong here. It could be a shadow of some other equipment for all I know, or some other sort of object entirely, but it's unclear what it is to me. Maybe it's not a camera shadow.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Bummer Vacation/Wigstruck - S4-E14
Deliberate mistake: When SpongeBob is playing with his Krusty Krab action figures, their faces change expressions instantly.
Suggested correction: This is simply one of the many gags that occur in this show. In the same scene, SpongeBob has a third arm while playing with the action figures. Problematic? No, that's a gag too. Throughout the show, the characters are capable of doing many impossible tasks (drinking water underwater, floating, growing limbs, etc.). The expressions on the action figures changing is another one of the impossible things that can happen in this fantasy world.

Matilda (1996)
Visible crew/equipment: When Matilda makes the pitcher fly up in the air you can see the shadow of the stick that was later deleted and erased.
Suggested correction: Well, there was a pole attached to the bottom of the pitcher, which was used to make it levitate, and it was edited out in post. But there is no visible shadow of the pole in any of the shots.

Matilda (1996)
Audio problem: When Zinnia combs back Harry's hair with the grey stuff in it, we see her lips moving, but we hear Michael's voice.
Suggested correction: At 00:34:00, Zinnie combs Harry's hair, and she says to him, "Come here. OK." It is 100% her voice that we hear, and not Michael's.

The Emperor's New Groove (2000)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Yzma is smashing the statues of Kuzco, Yzma tells Kronk to move one of the statues "a little to the left", however it was moved to both of their rights.

The Emperor's New Groove (2000)
Continuity mistake: When Kronk offers Kuzco the poison, he runs out of the room because his spinach puffs are burning. He takes the poison with him. When he returns he is carrying only the spinach puffs and the cups appear back on the table.

The Emperor's New Groove (2000)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Pacha and Kuzco are hiding in a little room in the restaurant, the door next to them is closed. In the next shot, it's open.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Continuity mistake: When Scarecrow, Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion are marching into the Wicked Witch's castle after taking the guards' uniforms, all three of them are shown holding the same types of spears as the guards, so when they go rescue Dorothy out of the locked room and Tin Man chops through the door with his axe, where did the axe come from? (01:22:50)
Suggested correction: I'm 63 years old and still watch The Wizard of Oz. If I remember correctly, the axe was taken off a nearby wall.
There is no scene of him taking the axe off the wall, nor is there any axe seen on any of the walls. Plus, it's the same axe he had the whole time. But the 3 also take off their coats/disguises while the camera is on Dorothy and it's possible he had the axe tucked away in the coat.
In the books, the Tin Man always has his axe and he uses it often. Perhaps it is the same in the movie.
Suggested correction: I'm with Bishop73 on this one. The Tin Man has his axe with him when they put on the guards' uniforms, and when they get to the room that Dorothy is in, he uses his axe to break the doors, so it's plausible to believe that he tucked the axe in his uniform, then took it out to rescue Dorothy.

Flubber (1997)
Corrected entry: In the scene in which Prof Brainard and Sarah are fighting the bad guys at the mansion, Sarah has Flubber on her hands. She is slapping Wilson around, and you can clearly see that the person who is slapping Wilson is a dummy.
Correction: Sarah punches Wilson multiple times with the flubber on her hands at 01:23:13, but Sarah in this shot does not resemble a dummy or anything similar. Nor is she a dummy in the other shots where she punches Wilson.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the person who submitted the mistake was confused because the scene is lit a little weird and sped up, and she's holding pretty still. But it's painfully obvious that the actress is not a dummy.

Hey Arnold! (1996)
Arnold Saves Sid / Hookey - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: The kids' teacher in this episode is Miss Slovak, who was their teacher in the first season, but in the first episode of this season they have a new teacher, Mr. Simmons.
Suggested correction: Other than the few episodes that take place during a specific time of year; these episodes are not meant to be taken in chronological order. Just roughly in the same 4th grade school year.
Suggested correction: I agree with the other correction, but it's also worth noting that in the production order, "Arnold Saves Sid" was made before "New Teacher." They were just aired out of order, just like many of the other episodes.

Hey Arnold! (1996)
Tour de Pond / Teachers Strike - S2-E18
Continuity mistake: The kids' teacher in "Teachers Strike" is Miss Slovak, who was their teacher in the first season, but in the first episode of this season they had a new teacher, Mr. Simmons.
Suggested correction: Other than the few episodes that take place during a specific time of year; these episodes are not meant to be taken in chronological order. Just roughly in the same 4th grade school year.
Suggested correction: I agree with the other correction, but it's also worth noting that in the production order, "Teacher's Strike" was made before "New Teacher" was. They were just aired out of order, just like many of the other episodes.

Hey Arnold! (1996)
Crabby Author / Rich Kid - S3-E17
Continuity mistake: In "Rich Kid" Lorenzo is introduced as a new student, but he was in a previous episode titled "Arnold's Room."
Suggested correction: Other than the few episodes where a specific time of year is taking place; these episodes are not meant to be taken to be shown in chronological order. Just roughly in the same 4th grade school year.
Suggested correction: I agree with the other correction, but it's also worth noting that in the production order, "Rich Kid" was made before "Arnold's Room." They were just aired out of order, just like many of the other episodes.

Flubber (1997)
Corrected entry: In the end, the guy throws the glass thing, it flies, it bounces, and it falls to the ground. But we never hear it.
Correction: Bennett throws the glass ashtray at Philip, which then bounces back at him and hits his head. Bennett falls over, and there is an audible clinking sound of the ashtray hitting the floor right after he falls.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966)
Corrected entry: At the beginning the Grinch is looking down on Whoville and drumming all his fingers. But when it cuts to another angle, he's suddenly only tapping one of them.
Correction: It doesn't take a minute to go from drumming all fingers to just tapping one of them. They wouldn't need to change scenes for that.
The Grinch is tapping all of his fingers as he looks down at Whoville; then, immediately in the next shot, he's just tapping his index finger. It might not take long for someone to go from tapping all their fingers to just one of them, but we don't see the Grinch adjusting his fingers at all between shots; he just goes from tapping all his fingers to just one finger instantly. I'd say this is a valid mistake.
