Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel in March of the Wooden Soldiers (1934)

Goofs

March of the Wooden Soldiers

Edit

Continuity

Barnaby and the Bogeymen invade Toyland by crossing a crocodile-filled river on a large raft. When the Wooden Soldiers drive them out of the city and back to the river, the raft is inexplicably missing - ensuring that the Bogeymen will not escape from the hungry crocodiles.
During the fight scene between Tom-Tom and Barnaby, at one point Tom-Tom is on top of Barnaby, then does a somersault over him, and we see him start to stand up in front of Barnaby. In the next shot, he is on top of Barnaby again (same position as before he flipped), and in the next he is standing up in front of Barnaby.
When Stannie rings Barnaby's doorbell at night, a light appears in Barnaby's upstairs window. The light source comes from the right, but Barnaby appears from the left, carrying a candle.
The three little pigs are in their nightgowns - like everyone else in Toy Land - when Stan and Ollie return with Tom Tom and Bo-Peep. When the three little pigs close the blinds to their houses when the bogeymen are attacking, two of them are shown with their regular clothes on. Eventually they are seen with their nightgowns again when Toy Land is fighting the bogeymen.
At about 01:15:54, the soldier visible on screen right vanishes into thin air. A clear editing of two shots error.

Revealing mistakes

The wooden soldier, brought out as a demonstration model by Stannie and Ollie, blinks in one shot.
As the animated wooden soldiers are marching away, a new line of soldiers keep magically popping up in the rear.
Gaping seams and obvious padding on the Bogeymen costumes.

Errors in geography

The swamp comes to within a few feet of the Toyland gates, but when the gates are opened dozens of Bogeymen are seen beyond them, presumably on solid ground. The Bogeyland caves can be seen at the far background.

Plot holes

Barnaby escapes Stannie and Ollie by climbing down a dry well, and then using a hidden door at the bottom of the well leading into Bogeyland. However, Bogeyland is never established as being underground - the viewer even sees people (and Boogymen) on rafts coming and going between Bogeyland and Toy Land multiple times, on ground level.
Bo-Peep takes a raft into Boogyland to find Tom-Tom, who was wrongly banished there. When she goes ashore and finds Tom-Tom, they then desperately search for a way out. The fact that they could have escaped simply by using the raft Bo-Peep arrived on is completely ignored.

Character error

Old King Cole offers fifty thousand guineas for Barnaby's capture, but the IOU Stannie gives Ollie for the purchase of his pee-wees is written as $1.48 in US dollars and cents.
