• Continuity: When Sgt. Tibs first enters Hell Hall, we see the main hall. The stairway is to the left, it goes up to a landing, then turns right. When the Baduns chase Tibs and the puppies, the hall has been mirrored - the stairs are on the opposite side of the hallway, and they turn left.
  
  
• Factual errors: Pongo and Perdita set off from London to Suffolk (north), but when dawn breaks we see them running left to right across the screen, with the dawn breaking in the background. Since dawn is in the southeast in England in the winter, this means they are running roughly southwest.
  
  
• Continuity: After watching TV, when the puppies are going off to bed, when Pongo counts puppies 8 through 14 (seven puppies), there are only five puppies, including Rolly, who actually go through the door.
  
  
• Continuity: Cruella shakes the pen on Pongo and Roger, the ink disappears from Pongo's face when he runs to tell Perty the "good news".
  
  
• Continuity: When the thief reaches for the bottle to throw at the escaping cat it still has wine in it, but when the bottle breaks against the wall, the bottle is empty and no wine spills out when the bottle shatters.
  
  
• Continuity: Cruella sets her purse down on the table to write a check. After tearing up the check, and hollering at Roger, she storms out the door - and never picks up her purse to bring it with her.
  
  
• Errors in geography: When the truck is being repaired, the sign at the garage says "AAA" (American Auto Association), instead of the British "AA" (Automobile Association).
  
  
• Continuity: There are a lot more than 101 dalmatians in many scenes (in the final scene at the house, for example, there are over 150 of them).
  
  
• Continuity: After the art lady in the attic yells "Prissy, come in here!", she pulls Prissy inside and the window closes. In the next shot when Prissy knocks over the painting as she runs over to the other side of the attic, the window she was at is opened again.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: While the puppies and trudging through the blizzard, they are heading into the wind. Then the Collie finds them, and they turn around to go back the other way and are still heading into the wind.
  
  
• Continuity: When Pongo opens the clock to change the time to 5:18, for his evening constitutional, he starts to bark, letting Roger know its time for his walk. But he forgot to close the clock door. But when Roger looks up, its mysteriously closed.
  
  
• Continuity: When Pongo is fighting Jasper, the puppy that runs out to help changes from Patch to Lucky.
  
  
• Continuity: Patch's right ear is solid black, and his left ear spotted. However, sometimes the left ear is solid white, and sometimes it's solid black. In the same scene where Patch turns into Lucky, his ear goes from spotted to white, and in the following scene in the Colonel's barn, both of his ears are solid black.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Pongo asks if all 15 puppies are together after rescuing them from Jasper and Horace, Lucky answers "Twice that many dad. Now there's 99 of us." Twice of 15 would be 30, not 99.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Pongo starts howling to send out the last part of the Twilight Bark, his four paws temporarily do not make contact with the ground; giving the image of walking on thin air before being pulled back to the ground by his owner.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the beginning before the title appears, you see Pongo barking with a hat in his mouth. It would have fell out if that were the case.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: The steering wheel on Cruella's car randomly changes sides though-out the movie.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: In the title screen, you can see that all of the pictures are different poses of Pongo. But looking closer, some are clearly designed to be Perty, especially when in the same pose together, when she was designed/spotted to be Pongo; despite the slimmer body.
  
  
• Continuity: Aneta when she is first spotted walking Perty, she has black lipstick, but from then on throughout the park scene, she has red lipstick.
  
  
• Continuity: When in the park, Perty grabbed a hold of Aneta's outfit to try and save her from the water and ripped; yet the next shot of Aneta, her attire is in tact.
  
  
• Continuity: When Perty and Pongo are nuzzling after the news that Cruella is not going to get any of their puppies, before it changes to the scene to reveal the puppies nursing, the tags on Perty and Pongo's collars vanish.
  
  
• Continuity: Cruella's phone when it was first picked up (to be Jasper), has a face of a devil with its eyes open and wide-mouth smiling. Yet when she hangs up and calls Aneta, the face has its eyes closed and is heavily frowning.
  
  
• Plot holes: It took Pongo and Perty to reach Hell Hall supposedly a couple hours, and yet it took them two days to get back to London.
  
  
• Continuity: When the Colonel is first shown, his fur is brown. In later scenes, it is gray.
