* 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.
** Really, though. Do you expect a rat to have a healthy inner character?
*** Perhaps he's related to [[WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH Jenner?]]
** Also qualifies as a StealthPun. The rat drinks the potion and turns into a dragon. Ludmilla drinks the potion and turns into a dragon. Ludmilla is a rat, which is emphasized by her initial tail being ratlike before the full transformation.
** Relating to Ludmilla's real self, her movements, mannerisms, tone, and design all imply she's repressing her ObviouslyEvil nature, with her clothing being restrictive/her face being a mask and throughout her VillainSong her restraints both mental and physical slowly come apart to expose the unrestrained monster she is on the inside.

* 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.
** Prince Ivan and the cast's attire imply that this movie was set before the events of Anastasia. So after saving Moscow from the dragon, Bartok went on to work for Rasputin, a holy man who was actually a fraud who made a DealWithTheDevil and would aid Rasputin in wiping out Prince Ivan's descendants, including several attempts on the sole survivor, Anastasia. Given that Prince Ivan and Bartok were on good terms, it's very HarsherInHindsight.
** We are never told what happened to Zozi between the movie and Anastasia. It is likely he died of natural causes allowing Rasputin to be a corrupting influence on Bartok, or maybe [[MurderTheHypotenuse Rasputin had Zozi killed so that Bartok would turn to him instead]] specifically because Zozi would never approve of Rasputin's methods.
