* FridgeBrilliance: During Ludmilla's VillainSong a rat takes a sip of the potion and turns dragon-like itself. This may seem like a mistake, and maybe it was, but if Baba Yaga [[BatmanGambit expected Ludmilla to steal the potion and drink it herself]], then maybe she purposely made it a "turn into dragon" potion instead.

* FridgeHorror: The Prince doesn't seem like the type to send people to the dungeon. Especially a dungeon with torture devices. So we're left to assume that Ludmilla is behind all those men being there behind his back. Just think of the amount of people she must have imprisoned and/or sentenced to death for asinine reasons that Ludmilla likely came up as excuses.

* FridgeLogic: What was the point of Ludmilla getting someone to dress up as Baba Yaga and drop the iron tooth when kidnapping Prince Ivan? Ivan was the only witness. She could have just kidnapped him normally and still said Baba Yaga did it.

Given she exists in the movie's universe (heck, the movie itself even with a TheVillainSucksSong), Ludmila easily shifted the blame to her by proving evidence of her kidnapping (= the iron tooth, again, [[ShownTheirWork Baba Yaga was said to have a mouth full of them]]) without raising any suspicion on the kidnapper's real identity.
