In the 1984 movie He Man and the Masters of the Universe, the odds of the Cosmic Key opening a portal to Earth out of "all the planets in the universe" would be roughly 900 Dodecatillion to one. He Man and his friends would have actually been dumped out into empty space.

In the Movie Fern Gully, the villain Hexxus has been locked away for "one thousand years," the industrial revolution and its accompanying spike in pollution didn't take place until 1760 at the earliest. It's highly unlikely a being that survives on industrial by products could have survived prior to that.

In Star Wars, Luke wouldn't have much luck dodging the Storm Troopers' lasers because in real life lasers are invisible when traveling through the air.

Somebody should tell Disney's Pocahontas that Mountains possess neither the lungs not vocal chords necessary to sing, and that air is made up of several colorless gases invisible to the human eye.

In Star Trek, The Enterprise travels from the Federation to Planet Klingon in the space of about 3 minutes. In real life, the journey would take 3000 years because faster than light travel is impossible.

In the M. Night Shyamalan movie Signs, the aliens would have died instantly upon contact with ambient water vapor in the earths atmosphere. In fact, it is highly unlikely such a species could have evolved considering their physiology quite similar to terrestrial organisms which require water to execute vital processes. Furthermore,
