Errors

 * Mayor Marconi reads Itzak's diary that reveals the Howards are werewolves, but believes him to be a loony, which could also be convincing to the viewer, if it were not for the fact Scott's grandparents are in their werewolf forms as the Mayor says this.
 * When Lupe looks disgruntled when Stiles takes the reward money, her shirt is blue and her overalls are maroon.
 * The end credits say "Assisant animators" instead of "Assistant animators."
