Goofs
|
Continuity: In the taxi cab in the beginning of the movie, the collar of Robert's overcoat is tucked under the seat belt strap one moment, then resting over it, then tucked under it again a moment later. GEOG: Robert's office is supposed to be in the Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle. However, the Lipstick Building, located on Third Avenue at 53rd Street, is seen across the street from a window. Continuity: During the scene in the Italian restaurant, as Robert and Giselle are sitting at the table talking, Robert's hair keeps changing between shots. Continuity: SPOILER: After placing the rose on the statue of Robert in the woodland cottage, it disappears and reappears in subsequent shots. Continuity: When Nancy arrives at Robert's apartment to find Giselle there, Robert is in need of a shave. When he chases after Nancy as she leaves the building and gets into a taxi, he is clean-shaven. When he returns to the apartment, he has considerable beard growth again. Continuity: Towards the end of the big musical number in Central Park, Robert's phone rings while he's sitting in the carriage. In the long shot, he clearly reaches into his pocket and removes the phone. In the close-up, he does the same thing again. PLOT: Giselle rides the subway from Times Square to the Bowery, Edward gets lunch in a deli, and both Edward and Nathaniel also stay in a hotel/motel - all with no money, no credit cards, and no identification. Continuity: The animated Giselle wore no earrings with her white wedding gown. When teleported to the real world, she did. Revealing mistakes: In the scene where Edward comes to Robert and Morgan's apartment to get Giselle, as Giselle is explaining what a date is to Edward, if you look to the bottom left where Giselle was just standing next to Robert, you can see the pink tape on the floor that marks where she was supposed to stand. Continuity: The film is clearly set during warm weather, with lots of summer foliage and no one in heavy jackets. Yet when the chipmunk breaks out of the hotel room, there is clearly snow across the street. Continuity: SPOILER: Towards the end of the movie, when Giselle throws the sword to save Robert from falling off the building, the sword catches on the corner of his sleeve. When the sleeve finally gives, and he's falling and sliding down the roof of the building, his sleeve keeps switching how it's ripped between shots as he's falling. First only the cuff is ripped off, then none of it appears to be ripped, then the cuff again, then the whole sleeve is missing. GEOG: New York City Transit route X90, the bus Prince Edward stabs, does not run through Times Square. Revealing mistakes: When Prince Edward is on top of the bus, he stabs the bus through the roof, and hits the old lady's bag, tearing it open. There's no way his sword was long enough to go through the roof of the bus and reach all the way to the woman sitting down. He'd have to be hanging upside down inside. Continuity: In the Italian restaurant scene, there are two stacks of bread baskets behind Giselle's shoulder. Almost every shot shows a different bread basket configuration - baskets disappear and reappear. While one shot shows a waiter taking a basket, this cannot explain all the discrepancies. Maybe Robert isn't the only "magician" in the room! Continuity: Giselle knocked on "The Palace Casino" billboard's fake door. Both door and balcony are dry even though rain has stopped falling only minutes before this. Continuity: Giselle and Robert leave the law office building. He says he can't help her anymore, gives her money and she walks away into Central Park. The next shot shows Robert turning his back ready to walk back to work. In the background, a man wearing black jacket and loose fitting jeans walks from the screen's bottom right to left. Robert turns around to take a last look at Giselle. The man now clearly walks out of the screen's left side. The shot switches back to Giselle. It then switches again back to Robert. This time however the man in the background is still in the middle of the screen when seconds before he had already walked out of to the left. Crew: When Giselle is knocking on the Castle billboard, there is a camera shot from Robert's point of view. In the shot, one can see up part of Giselle's hoop dress. Under which, one can see dangling leather straps. These are most likely the leather straps of her safety harness and she is probably harnessed to the billboard. Continuity: When Robert and Morgan find Giselle on the billboard, Morgan is wearing a karate gi and white belt. A karate belt is wrapped around the waist twice before the knot is tied. The knot is tied around both wraps of the belt in order to hold the belt together. During the billboard scene and the hallway scene after it, Morgan's belt is tied correctly. In the scene after Giselle falls through the doorway, Morgan's belt is now tied incorrectly, with the knot of the belt hanging below the first wrap. Continuity: When Edward places Giselle on the lounger in the ballroom, her head is on one end of the pillow. In the next shot and without time to reposition it, her head is in the center of the pillow. Continuity: When Giselle returns to Morgan for help getting ready for the ball, she kneels down and her hair is partly over her shoulder and partly behind her back. When the camera cuts in close, her hair is entirely over her shoulder to the front. Revealing mistakes: In the scene which Prince Edward finally makes it to Robert's apartment to rescue Giselle, he picks Giselle up and spins her around. If you pay close attention, the first time he swings her around, Giselle's pink pumps fall off her feet. The second time, the shoes are back on her feet. Continuity: When Nancy Tremaine sits down on the ballroom floor and picks up the single glass slipper she is dry even though she had been out on the balcony in the pouring rain looking up at the battle with the dragon. Continuity: When Giselle first wakes up in Robert's apartment, she sees the mess and starts her "Happy Working Song." In the song she sings nonchalantly about cleaning the hair from the shower drain. However, only a few minutes later in the bathroom, she expresses amazement to Robert about the existence of such a "magical room." Revealing mistakes: When Queen Narissa gives Nathaniel the poisoned apples in the soup, he reaches in to get them. His fingers touch the nearly boiling liquid (as evidenced by the bubbles rapidly rising to the surface) three times and he never so much as flinches. FAIR: It's said that during That's How You Know scene, the heart-shaped flower wreath Giselle gives to the pigeons is different from the wreath that Nancy received. However, the wreath is simply seen from the other side in the scene with Nancy. The edge of the white flowers can be seen on the inner left side. Continuity: When Giselle is talking to Clara in the park, Clara's hands change position between shots. Then when Robert and Giselle walk away you can see Clara in the background, then she disappears, never to be seen again. Continuity: When Giselle awakens after a night's rest on Robert's couch, she has her gloves on, but after summoning her "friends" the gloves have disappeared. Continuity: When Robert is taking Giselle out of the office building he presses the Up button on the elevator. Revealing mistakes: When Nathaniel is stuck getting out of the sewers when he enters New York, you can see one of the workers helping him sprinkle glitter over the hole to make it sparkle. CHAR: When Giselle takes a cup of water from the aquarium in Robert's office and spits it back into the cup, she spits out a male Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). A responsible aquarist would never have put that fish in with the aggressive cichlids and semi-aggressive gouramis in the tank. Continuity: At the conclusion of the musical number "That's How You Know", in the wide shot Robert reaches into his breast pocket and removes his cell phone. A few seconds later he again reaches into the pocket and takes out the cell phone to talk to his girlfriend. Continuity: In the scene in front of Robert's building, where Giselle and Edward say goodbye (on their way to their date), Jodi Benson (who plays Sam) walks by as a street extra. Continuity: When Giselle first arrives at Robert's apartment, she gets her petticoat stuck in the door. She then falls asleep on his couch without the petticoat on. However, when she wakes up in the morning, she clearly has her petticoat on. Continuity: Giselle's dress can't fit through anything when she is in the real world (the apartment door, the elevator door, etc) but yet she is able to climb up onto the billboard through a small opening with her dress on. Continuity: During Giselle's tidy of the apartment, the flies arrive in the fireplace down an open flue, yet the external shot of the apartment building shows no chimneys. CHAR: The dance at the end is the "King & Queen's Waltz", so the rhythm has to be 1-2-3, 1-2-3 etc., but it is actually a slower 1--2, 1--2 (or 1--2--3--4 if you want). Each actual beat COULD be imagined as a very quick 1-2-3, but nobody dances that fast. The dance is like a fox-trot, not a waltz. Crew: In the restaurant, a struggle breaks out between Nathaniel and Pip. Pip dives under the pizza and Morgan says "The pizza is breathing". When Nathaniel picks up the pizza to throw it in the oven, you can see the device on the bottom of the pizza that made it "breathe". Continuity: When Giselle falls through the "wishing" well it is daytime and when she comes up in the city it is now night time, but when prince Edward, Pip and Nathaniel fall through the well it is daytime and when they come up in the city it is still daytime. Continuity: When Giselle is sitting under the manhole cover after falling into the wishing well, the bottom of the lid is flush with the surface she is sitting on below the street. After the cover is removed and the shot is seen from above we can see her climb up through a tube that goes much deeper than the bottom of the lid could have been resting in that previous shot. Revealing mistakes: When Robert calls for a cab for Giselle, he tells the operator that he needs a car at 116 Riverside, but in a later scene, you can see the number on the building is actually 440. |

Prince Edward: [threatening Robert with his sword] Have you any last words before I dispatch you? Robert: You have got to be kidding me! Prince Edward: Strange words! Prince Edward: [holds sword in front of construction worker's neck, trying to find Giselle] I seek a beautiful girl. My life partner, my one coquette, the answer to my love's duet. Arty: [stuttering] I-I'd like to find one of them too, you know? Prince Edward: Nathaniel likes the way I leap? Prince Edward: I'm handsome even when I sleep? Giselle: Is that the only word you know? "No?" Robert: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, No! Giselle: "No! No! No!" Over and over! When you keep saying "No!" it just makes me so... Sometimes you make me so!... angry. [laughs really hard] Morgan Philip: Remember, when you go out not to put too much makeup otherwise the boys will get the wrong idea and you know how they are... [off Giselle's wide-eyed look] They're only after one thing. Giselle: What's that? Morgan Philip: [laughs] I don't know. Nobody will tell me. Robert: [Giselle and the other people at Central Park all start singing] He knows the song too? I've never heard this song before! What the hell is it? Queen Narissa: [transforms into a dragon] If I'm to remain queen I'll need a story for when I go back to Andalasia. What about "a giant, dangerous monster appeared and killed everyone, and poor Queen Narissa she just couldn't save them!" Let's start with the girl who started it all! Robert: [pushes Giselle further behind him] Over my dead body! Queen Narissa: [shrugs] Alright, I'm flexible. [grabs Robert instead] Queen Narissa: [Giselle climbs towards her] Oh my, this is a twist in our story! It's the brave little princess coming to the rescue. Queen Narissa: [looking at Robert] I guess this makes you the damsel in distress, huh, handsome? Robert: [after Giselle has bitten the poisoned apple] Please, don't leave me. Robert: [singing to Giselle along with the bandleader at the ball] Now you're beside me, and look how far we've come, so far. We are so close. Robert: Would you like me to call someone for you? Giselle: I don't think they would hear you from here. Robert: [struggling to break free of her grasp] You're crazy! Queen Narissa: No. Spiteful, vindictive, *very large*, but never crazy. [Prince Edward is on top of a bus thinking it is a monster] Prince Edward: You've met your match, you foul bellowing beast! [Edward stabs the bus and every passenger is in shock] Bus Driver: Everybody stay on the bus. Prince Edward: Giselle? My love? Pip in New York: Giselle? Prince Edward: Right. The steel beast is dead peasants! I've set you all free! Bus Driver: [gets off the bus and yells at Edward] Are you crazy? Nobody stabs my bus! I'll tear you apart! Do you hear me? You get down here right now! Nathaniel: Madam, allow me... Prince Edward: Nathaniel, old friend. Nathaniel: Sire, may I suggest that you, uh... Bus Driver: You? A friend a' his? Crazy tight-wearin'... Are you tryin' to mess up my route? [Pip jumps onto her head and mimics her] Bus Driver: I'll tear you both apart! Don't you roll your eyes at me, you... [Nathaniel points to Pip and the bus driver looks up] Bus Driver: A RAT! GET IT AWAY FROM ME! Prince Edward: Well, strictly speaking, he's a chipmunk. Nathaniel: Sire, may I suggest we seek elsewhere for your bride? Nathaniel: [talking on the phone while in a taxi cab] No, uh... I've always treated her like a queen, but... lately I'm starting to feel there's this whole other side to her, like I... I don't even know her anymore. Radio Therapist: [over the radio] I think you need to take her aside and find out how she really feels about you. Queen Narissa: [peeks in through open taxi cab window] Hello, Worthless. Miss me? [Nathaniel arrives in New York] Arty: Let me guess. You're looking for a beautiful girl, too? Nathaniel: No, actually, I'm looking for a prince. Arty: Riiiight. Pip in Andalasia: [realizing his added weight on the troll causes the entire branch to sink lower] Whoa, I gotta lay off da nuts! Giselle: Why are you staring at me? Robert: I don't know. It's just that... it's like you escaped from a Hallmark card or something. Giselle: Is that a bad thing? [after seeing Giselle being reawakened by true love's kiss] Ballroom Lady #1: Wasn't that lovely? Ballroom Lady #2: I agree. So much better than last year's show. Prince Edward: Go ahead, Pip. What is it you want to say? Pip in New York: [clears his throat, squeaks] You with me. [rubs "hands" together and points to Nathaniel, trying to tell Edward that Nathaniel is a traitor] Prince Edward: Nathaniel? Pip in New York: [squeaking] Uh-huh. Nathaniel. Prince Edward: Nathaniel's glad to have me near. Pip in New York: [squeaking] No-no-no-no-no! [imitates Nathaniel and then scurries to a soda cup indicating that he saw Nathaniel talking to Narissa in a boiling pot and made three apples appear] Pip in New York: Broop, broop, broop. Pip in New York: [takes a piece of ice as if it were an apple. Imitates Nathaniel again] Giselle. [imitates Giselle singing "True Love's Kiss"] Prince Edward: Oh, I know this one. Pip in New York: [as Nathaniel] Apple? [as Giselle] Pip in New York: No, thank you. [as Nathaniel] Pip in New York: It's good. [as Giselle] Pip in New York: Oh, okay. [crunches on the ice and imitates death and then strikes a "tada" pose and waits for Edward's interpretation] Prince Edward: You feel you'd die without me here. [Prince Edward and Nancy are about to marry when Nancy's cell phone suddenly goes off] Nancy Tremaine: Oops. I'm so sorry. Wow! You've got great reception here. Giselle: Goodness, we sure had a lot of excitement tonight. Were you scared? Morgan Philip: A little bit, but do you think Pip will be ok? Giselle: Oh, well, I wouldn't worry about Pip. He is very brave. I remember this one time, when the poor wolf was being chased by Little Red Riding Hood around his grandmother's house, and she had an axe... oh, and if Pip hadn't been walking by to help I don't know what would've happened! Morgan Philip: I don't really remember that version. Giselle: Well, that's because Red tells it a little differently. Morgan Philip: The pizza is breathing! Robert: [tries to stop Nancy from leaving] What... what about taking Morgan to school, you know, for some grown-up girl bonding time? Nancy Tremaine: What, so you can have some grown-up girl bonding time? Nancy Tremaine: [glares pointedly at Giselle] Nancy Tremaine: I don't think so. Giselle: Is this a habit of yours? Falling off of stuff? Robert: Only when you're there to catch me. [Prince Edward knocks on a random door in Robert's apartment building, trying to find Giselle] Pregnant Woman with Kids: [taking in Edward's "Prince Charming" getup]... You're too late. Prince Edward: [stricken] My apologies. Prince Edward: Fear not, Giselle! I will rescue you! Pip in Andalasia: Yeah, but who's gonna rescue MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE? [Prince Edward sits on a remote control and sees the TV turn on] Prince Edward: It seems as if this box controls the Magic Mirror. Prince Edward: Thank you for taking care of my bride, peasants. Giselle: [after leaving the shower] Good morning, Robert. I hope you had wonderful dreams. Robert Philip: I think I'm still in one. Giselle: Oh, it's you. Prince Edward: Yes, it's me. And you are? Giselle: Giselle. Prince Edward: Oh, Giselle! We shall be married in the morning! Nathaniel: Sire, do you like yourself? Prince Edward: What's not to like? Giselle: Now if only I can find a place to rest my head for the night. Robert Philip: What kind of place? Giselle: I don't know. Maybe a nearby meadow or a hollow tree. Robert Philip: A hollow tree? Giselle: Or a house full of dwarves. I hear they're very hospitable. [an angry midget runs under Giselle's dress] Grumpy: Hey! Watch it, will ya? Giselle: Grumpy! Grumpy: Geez, lady! Are you for real? Giselle: I-I think so. Giselle: Nobody has been very nice to me. Robert: Yeah, well, welcome to New York. Giselle: Thank you. Giselle: [singing] Well, does he take you out dancing / Just so he can hold you close? Robert: [speaking] I don't dance! Giselle: Dedicate a song / With words meant just for you? / Ooh ooh Robert: [speaking] And I really don't sing. [greeting Robert at the King's and Queen's Ball] Giselle: I'm surprised. You said you couldn't dance. Robert: I said I didn't. I never said I couldn't. Giselle: [after Robert knocks on the bathroom door] Hello? Robert: Okay, you know what? You gotta go. Look, I don't know what your deal is, if you're waiting around for Prince Charming or you're just...? Giselle: Prince Edward. Robert: Whatever. Look, I'll get you to a bus, a train, a plane, a whatever, then, that's it. After that, I can't... I can't get involved after that. [Giselle emerges from the bathroom in a bright blue dress] Robert: Where did you get that? Giselle: I made it. Do you like it? [Robert notices dress-shaped holes in his curtains, and looks quite shocked] Giselle: You're unhappy. Robert: *You made a dress out of my curtains*? Giselle: Oh, you are unhappy! [first lines] Narrator: Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom known as Andalasia, there lived an evil queen. Selfish and cruel, she lived in fear that one day her stepson would marry and she would lose her throne forever. And so she did all in her power to prevent the prince from ever meeting the one special maiden with whom he would share true love's kiss. [last lines] Narrator: And so, they all lived happily ever after. [talking about Giselle] Sam: She has no driver's license, no passport, I can't even find this place she comes from. Robert: What place? Sam: Andalusia. Robert: Andalasia. Sam: Whatever. I've called every travel agent. I'm not sure if it's a country or a city. Robert: It can't be a state. [Both watch Giselle acting strangely] Sam: More like a state of mind. She told me it's just beyond the meadows of joy and the valley of contentment. What is that all about? Phoebe Banks: Everybody has problems. Everybody has bad times. Do we sacrifice all the good times because of them? Phoebe Banks, Ethan Banks: [looking into one another's eyes] No. Robert: Oh my. Giselle: Oh my. He's here! Robert: Apparently. Giselle: Oh my. Oh my goodness. How do I look? Robert: Slightly stunned. Giselle: No, I mean, how do I look? [mean her appearance] Robert: You look... beautiful. Robert: Now she thinks that you and I... Giselle: Kissed? Robert: Yeah, something like that. Robert: So, what's the deal with this prince of yours? How long you been together? Giselle: [wistfully] Oh, about a day. Robert: You mean it feels like a day because you're so in love. Giselle: No, it's been a day. Robert: You're kidding me. A day? One day? Giselle: Yes. [wistful again] And tomorrow it will be two days. Robert: You're joking. Giselle: No. I'm not. Robert: Yeah, you are. Giselle: But I'm not. Robert: You're gonna marry somebody after a day? Because you fell in love with him? Giselle: Yes. [grins] Yes! Robert: [laughs as she drags him away] Giselle: What about you? How long have you known your Nancy? Robert: Uh, five years. Giselle: And you haven't proposed? Robert: Well, no, I... Giselle: Well no wonder she's angry. Robert: Well... Robert: You know most normal people get to know each other before they get married. They date. Giselle: Date? Robert: Yeah, you know. Date. [Giselle shakes her head not understanding] You go someplace special, like a restaurant, or a movie, or museum, or you just hang out and you talk. Giselle: What do you talk about? Robert: About each other. About yourself. About your interests, your likes your dislikes, you talk. [both laugh] Giselle: Oh, you have such strange ideas about love. Robert: Maybe we should just do what you do. You meet, you have lunch, and you get married. Giselle: Oh, you forgot about happily ever after. Robert: Forget about happily ever after, it doesn't exist. Nancy Tremaine: [gushing happily] Usually you just send an email with those digital flowers. These are exquisite. Where do you find live doves in New York? Robert: [off Giselle's look] What? Giselle: This is a very nice place. Robert: Yeah? Giselle: And we're eating dinner. Robert: Yeah. Giselle: [happily] This is a date! Robert: Yeah! [happy then realizing his mistake] No! No. No, no, no, no. We're just, um, we're just friends. Robert: [after talking on the phone] It was Nancy. She's a lot like the woman in your book. Sweetie... I'm gonna ask her to marry me. Morgan Philip: What? Robert: Ye, you like her, don't you? We all get along, we have a good time together. Morgan Philip: Where's she going to live? Robert: She's gonna live with us Morgan Philip: Do I have to give up my bedroom? Robert: No, you don't have to give up your bedroom. No. Come on, It's gonna be great. I promise. It's not like she's gonna try and be your mother. Morgan Philip: You mean stepmother. Robert: She's gonna be a nice stepmother. She's gonna take you to school tomorrow, just you and her, for some grown-up girl-bonding time. Morgan Philip: I'm only six. Robert: You won't always be. Prince Edward: [singing] Yes, there's a maid somewhere I've never met/ Who was made... Giselle: [smiles, realizes she wasn't paying attention to what he was singing] Prince Edward: [prompting]... who was made... [pauses, and then prompts in a soprano]... to finish... Giselle: What's wrong? Prince Edward: You're not singing. Giselle: Oh. Oh, no I'm not. Well, I was just thinking. Prince Edward: [perplexed] Think-ing...? Morgan Philip: But I think she might be a real princess! Robert Philip: Morgan honey, just because she has on a funny dress doesn't mean she's a princess. She's a seriously confused woman who's fallen into our laps. [repeated line] Queen Narissa: Speciosus, formosus, praeclarus! Nancy Tremaine: Kiss her, Robert! It's okay. Queen Narissa: [after being accused of poisoning Giselle] Why would I ever align myself with that buffoon? I mean, think about it. Why...? Prince Edward: Silence! You lying, murderous wretch! When we return home, Andalasia shall know of your treachery. Your days as queen will be over! Queen Narissa: Take my crown? Don't you think that's a bit melodramatic, dear? Prince Edward: I don't know what "melodramatic" means, but you'll be removed from the throne, Narissa. I will see to it. Queen Narissa: We're coming to the end of our story now. Are you at the edge of your seat, Giselle? Just dying to know how it ends? How about this, and they all lived happily ever after? Well, at least I did. Giselle: I was just thinking. Prince Edward: Think-ing? Giselle: Before we leave, there's one thing I would love to do. Prince Edward: Well, name it my love, and it is done. Giselle: I want to go on a date. Prince Edward: A date! Prince Edward: What's a date? Giselle: It is magical. Giselle: Dreams do come true. Giselle: [after Robert has cured her, with love's true kiss] I knew it was you. [kisses him again] May: [to Nancy] I think you're a hopeless romantic who's discovered that romance is hopeless. Clara: [about Prince Edward] He was on the bus this morning, he tried to kill me |
