Peppa Pig (2004)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: In the shot after the family walks out of the house, it takes about 7 seconds for George and the two parents to come into the shot. There is absolutely no doubt that they had enough time to change their facial expressions.

The Iron Giant (1999)
Continuity mistake: When the Iron Giant and Hogarth meet for the second time, they both sit down, and you can see that both the Giant's hands are flat on the floor. Then, the Giant produces the electricity shut off switch from one of his hands even though both his hands were previously empty.

Suggested correction: When the Giant crouches down to Hogarth, his right hand is in a fist, and it stays that way as he is sitting down. The switch was absolutely in his hand the whole time.

Dexter's Laboratory (1996)
Plot hole: Didn't Dexter ever notice the giant fire pit in the ant farm?
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: This is more of a question than a mistake. (To be fair, I don't think questions were a feature yet back when this was posted.) No, he didn't. He only noticed the fire pit (and the colosseum) when he was inside the ant farm. It most likely just wasn't visible to him from the outside, or it was too small for him to see it.

Hey Arnold! (1996)
The High Life / Best Friends - S2-E10
Deliberate mistake: In "The High Life", there is a scene where Stinky submerges his head in a tank of water. He delivers the line, "Gee willickers, it's still ticking", and everyone somehow understands what he is saying with his head underwater.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Nobody responds to what Stinky says, so there's no reason to assume that everyone understood him.

Shrek 2 (2004)
Plot hole: It is apparent that Shrek and Donkey have never traveled to the land of Far Far Away, yet Donkey immediately recognizes the "old Keeblers' place" when he should have no idea where it is or what it looks like.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Donkey only thinks it's the "old Keebler's place." Puss in Boots then corrects him and says it's the Fairy Godmother's cottage.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Audio problem: When Dorothy and the Scarecrow find the apple trees she says, "Oh, look, apples." The overdub is wrong, if you look closely at her mouth when she turns around toward the camera, she's actually not saying anything. (00:39:20)

Suggested correction: Her mouth does move, and she actually says, "Oh, apples! Oh, look!"

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Audio problem: As they all stand at the door to Oz, Dorothy reaches for the knocker and we hear the overdubbed knocking sound before she touches it. (00:58:45)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The sound we hear before she starts knocking is of her grabbing the knocker, and it is right on time with when she grabs it. There is no audio mistake.

Suggested correction: It's the monkey that is shaking, not the statue.

Hey Arnold! (1996)
Magic Show / 24 Hours to Live - S1-E18
Audio problem: Helga rides past Arnold in a bus and yells "24 hours until you die!" or something like that. Her mouth never moves- it just stays open in an evil smile.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Plot hole: When the Gales' house lands in Munchkinland, Dorothy picks up Toto and glances around the house. She looks right out the window. Wouldn't she have noticed that she wasn't in Kansas then, before she got to the door? (00:19:05)

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
SpongeBob Meets the Strangler / Pranks a Lot - S3-E20
Revealing mistake: In "Spongebob Meets The Strangler" when that fish holds up Spongebob's dry cleaning at the supermarket, it looks like he is holding it up with a coathanger because his hand is up in the air, but you can easily see nothing is holding it up. It's just floating up in the air.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The clothes are being held up by a coat hanger. It may be hard to see due to it blending in with the wall color, but if you look closely, it's there.
