When Anastasia is kicking the footman into the piano keys, his head hits the keys on the far left of the piano, but higher-pitched notes can also be heard, which could not possibly be heard from the far left end of the piano.

After Lucifer sees Gus is under the teacup on the right tray in Cinderella's hand, he runs up to the top of the stairs to get him when she passes by, but Cinderella drops off the right tray to Drizella's room first, then the left one to Anastasia's room. Anastasia runs out of her room screaming, showing that Gus was in her teacup (the left tray) when it should have been Drizella running out, or Gus should have been on the left tray.

When the mice point out that Cinderella still has a glass slipper (just after midnight), the slipper is on her right foot, and it is established throughout that the slipper left behind is the left foot's. After that slipper is broken and Cinderella pulls out the right one, it is placed on her right foot; however, and this is the goof, when she first sits down to have the left slipper tried on before it breaks, she is in the same position, with her right foot held out and unshod.

Miscellaneous

On the 2005 DVD edition, if watching with closed captioning or English subtitles, when Anastasia starts to panic when she sees Gus under her teacup, the subtitle and/or caption identifies Anastasia as Drizella up until she goes into her mother's room to complain about Gus.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

On the palace clock, the Roman numeral 4 is written as "IIII" instead of "IV". However, historically, 4 in Roman numerals was written "IIII". The subtractive system in Roman numerals in which 4 is written as "IV" is fairly modern.
