10 Movie “Mistakes” That Were Put There Intentionally

10. The Scratch Marks (Tarzan)

In a scene near the beginning of Disney's thirty-seventh animated classic, Tarzan gets himself into a brutal scuffle with a rather angry leopard.

As the fight progresses, the leopard lashes out at Tarzan with its claws, slashing him across the chest and leaving behind three very noticeable marks in the process.

The cuts look deep, and they definitely don't look like they'll be healing anytime soon. And yet, inexplicably - when Tarzan carries the leopard's dead body out of a pit a few moments later - the slash marks have vanished completely.

It's a miracle! A miracle of animation, that is. The mystery of the disappearing claw-marks isn't a simple goof, but a result of Disney's strict rules about what can and can't be included in their films - and blood isn't something they want to feature a lot of.

There are more examples of this in other Disney animated movies (even in this same scene, the leopard suffers a cut to the leg that vanishes), so the next time you're rewatching one of your favourites, keep an eye out for any blood. And expect it to disappear moments later.
