Alice in Wonderland Glitches

It's not easy to detect a glitch amid the general wackiness of Wonderland, but here goes:

Alice opens multiple doors to follow the White Rabbit. When she finally gets through, the door behind her is a sliding panel, not the ordinary door we saw her open.

The "Drink me" label has a string attached to the end closest to the letter "E"; later it is attached to the "D" side.

When Alice exits the Tulgey Wood, we can see that the path leads straight to the castle. Yet, seconds later, Alice is somehow lost in a hedge maze. Where did that come from?

In Lady Tremaine's bedroom, Cinderella's shadow falls both behind her, and in front at different times.

One of Cinderella's female mice tells Jaq to "leave the sewing to the women." But Jaq is later seen sewing away.

The Parent Trap: Separated at Birth, Disney Style

In The Parent Trap, identical twins Susan Evers and Sharon McKendrick were separated from each other in their infancy. They grew up apart, never knowing they each had a twin until the fateful day they met. The girls couldn't deny the uncanny resemblance, which led to the discovery that they were indeed sisters.

You may have noticed that certain Disney characters bear a striking resemblance to each other. Or even to a few non-Disney characters. Mere coincidence...or is it? Could they be twins, separated at birth? You be the judge. More...

Dumbo Glitches

Even the beloved feature Dumbo has its bloopers. For example:

None of the other storks wear clothes or deliver their babies personally with musical accompaniment; only the one who brings Dumbo.

The clowns are seen as silhouettes on the tent wall, which is correct when viewing them from outside. However, when they pass by the tent opening, they should appear as people, not shadows.

When Timothy watches the silhouette of the Ringmaster getting into bed, the steamer trunk he uses for a nightstand is not visible. More...
