Errors

• When Dee Dee talks about searching for the missing Nancy, Taffy's hair is red. This may have been a confusion on the animators due to the fact Taffy did disguise herself as Nancy later.
• Taffy must've learnt about Mr. Beamer's name and who he is off-screen, because she didn't learn any of this on-screen and he didn't introduce himself to her.
