How was this not spotted by someone before now?
It’s always fun to spot continuity errors or oversights in shows or movies. It’s understandable that some details get overlooked, especially when they have so many takes to do.
When it comes to cartoons though, you would think that they wouldn’t be subject to making those kind of mistakes, considering their design and creation is so carefully planned and executed. But it appears even they can make errors.
Someone spotted the biggest mistake on the 90’s cartoon Arthur, leaving us wondering how no one on the production side of things or any viewer didn’t spot this before now.
In some scenes, the main character Arthur can be seen wearing headphones. Now, as all Arthur fans know, he was a talking animal, supposedly an aardvark, although I think he looks more like a mouse or a hamster.
Either way, he has two ears on the top of his head, not at the side like humans do, but this detail seems to have been overlooked by the creators of the show who made a pretty big mistake when it was wearing the headphones.
It was noticed by a Twitter user recently.

Someone else was quick to point out that at one time on the cartoon, the whole family were wearing headphones the wrong way.

And it appears it’s a frequent issue with animation:

Mind blown.
