Many movies expect audiences to suspend their disbelief when they head off on some magical mystery journey. Animated films include mythical creatures and talking
animals while sci-fi ones show us how technology has advanced in leaps and bounds beyond our current comprehension.
However, some films really annoy viewers because of their neglectful plot holes. Considering they have to undergo pre-production, production, and post-production, it’s surprising some of these get missed. In some cases, maybe viewers didn’t understand what was happening or missed a throwaway line that would’ve explained everything.
