* TheyJustDidntCare: The reason Huck Finn is wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
** And, in some shots, Santa can clearly be seen wearing Sun Glasses?
** The fact that they just put the Thumbelina Film in, without changing the framing device or even removing the credits from that film, so it looks like that Santa is telling the children a story about a girl going to Pirates World to have the Story of Thumbelina narrated to her as she gazes at a diorama display, complete with their own credits!

** All of the props in the giants' home are inexplicably scaled far too big from them. This makes it seem like they are small instead of huge, or else are renting from bigger giants.

** The biggest example might be Santa's "stuck" sleigh. You can clearly see the thing moving in several scenes after "failed" attempts to extract it. Also, it appears to be "buried" in a quarter-inch of sand. In certain spots along the rails. (It probably would've helped if Santa got out of the damned thing when they pushed.)
