Goofs:

Continuité: After Sally emerges from the water while she's exploring, for an instant her hair seems swept back and pressed down, clearly drenched. During the next shot, which is a close-up, her hair looks as if it had been hastily dried with a towel, even though we never even see her touch her hair.

Sally Jones: You'll be leaving school soon, I s'pose.

I've seen it probably a thousand times...

It's one of those movies you don't get tired of seeing, when my niece was younger, I was watching it and she really liked, everytime she came over from then on we had to watch it, it's just that good. I guess it's the reality of it that makes it so good.
