Goofs

Max jumps onto the circus train just as it is going into a tunnel. While he and Snowball are subsequently fighting the wolves in the driver's cabin, you can see through the windows from the lights that the train is still all the time inside the tunnel. Next, when the driver stops the train and immediately everybody gets out, they are in an open landscape.
