The Great Mouse Detective Bloopers
Here are a few flick flubs made in the Disney animation The Great Mouse Detective.
Footprints outside Baker Street and in the toy store appear and disappear between cuts.
Olivia's hair ribbon switches from her right ear, to her left ear when she is hugging Basil at the end of the movie
After putting Ratigan's bell on a shelf, the bell disappears and is not seen again.
When Olivia and Dr. Dawson are seeking Basil's help at his house, Basil plays his violin first using one hand, then switch hands in the next cut
Watch for the changing mole when Basil and Dawson enter The Rat Trap. The poker-playing lady in green with a mole on her right cheek. When she turns around to blow smoke in the doctor's face, the mole is on her left; then she turns back to the game and the mole is back on her right.
In the mousetrap scene, Olivia's father is tied and gagged. When we cut back to him again from another shot of something else, the gag has disappeared.
Fidget's peg-leg switches from is his right-hand side to the left-hand side when Olivia stomps on his toes.
Basil's Inverness cape, magically appears on the suit of armor, but it wasn't there a moment before.
During the Big Ben sequence, Ratigan's necktie comes off at one point, but then it's back on when he and Basil fall down the clock tower, and then disappears when they land on the clock hand.
When the face of the clock is seen from inside it's fine and no sign of Ratigan's dirigible having crashed into it.
Toby's leash changes colors when it is attached to his collar.
Fidget's list has no writing on either side of the paper.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: During the climactic fight, as Ratigan says, "There's no escaping this time, Basil", his lips don't match the dialog.
Revealing mistakes: In the opening shot of the Big Ben sequence, there is a cog just to Basil's left whose teeth go through a staff next to it.
At the beginning of Ratigan's rant ("I have the power. I am supreme !", etc.) he snaps a crutch in his hands. He is still holding the two halves when we cut to a two-shot of him and the robot Queen, but when he jumps up on the banister on the next shot the two pieces are gone. (He is not seen holding them before the jump.)
