Goofs, Errors, Corrections and Differences[]
- Page 1 on the video you will see the foot guy, then he phases going left, and the camera zooms in on his left foot and his right foot.
- Due to the foot guy's face being cut on the video of page 2 in the book he was replaced by the foot guy from page 3 and the yellow sky was colored more.
- On page 4 of the video from the book, only the first layer of the foot guy was used 3 times then the 4 layer was used when the narrator said "right".
- Page 5 of the book and video where you will see the foot guy dipping his feet in the water and out, the page scene was never zoomed showing the entire scene so his face wasnt shown due to the scene being zoomed in and he is standing on a different rock. You will then see him drying his feet next.
- The foot guy has been taken from page 20 to be put into page 6 standing on a white grassy cliff, due to the recently layer being cut from the page.
- Page 8 of the video and book, The big creature with front feet and back feet is seen. the red feet and black feet characters are standing on the white grass of the hill. There is a misprint in the script because it sounds as if the narrator said "Red Beet" instead of "Red Feet".
- On page 9, a black line is drawn under the layer of the character to where the narrator said "left foot right foot" again.
- On page 10, the editors didn't feel like drawing the foot guy's backside to place him in the scene on the right due to being cut, so they took him out the scene.
- A new background was design as a green moss on a yellow ground based off for the board book for Page 11 of the video from the book, the yellow rabbit is running past the slow long eared dog instead and not running under him like he was in the book.
- Page 12 on the video the color balls change shapes and phase in different places while the dog with the balls is doing tricks and the Sick animal in bed with his feet tied in ropes, no movement but camera zooming in slowly.
- On page 13 on the video of the book the foot guy is seen going up and he goes all the way up then he is scene as another layer of him going down, but in the book the foot guy going up and the foot guy going down are seen at the same time.
- On page 14 if the video the clown comes in phasing to the left.
- Page 15 of the video, the Small feet woman and the Big feet man are in the same scene for a short moment as you will see the small feet woman walking to the right and the big feet man follows. Then the pig from page 16 comes but the pig is seen looking straight ahead and not looking to at the viewers like he did in the book and his back side and tail was drawn and painted in as he was phasing going to the left.
- On page 17, on the video from the book, the Boy and Girl are a tad bit far apart from where the stands were placed at in the book. The foot guy is seen in between them two.
- To cover Page 18 of the video from the book, the fuzzy fur feet guy comes from the top after the scene changes from the foot guy and boy and the girl, to the blue background but in the book he was seen in a white background instead.
- On page 19 of the video of the book, a character's left duck feet has been drawn in and painted on page 20, the tall animal's face isn't shown like it was in the book and the tall animal has been raised up more which explains why his foot is more near the foot guy's face and the camera zooms in on the foot guy looking at his foot. You will see the house where a unknown character is seen.
- Page 23 was not used in the video at all. You don't see the foot guy in this scene on the 24 feet part on page 24 of the book and video. In the book he was looking at them on page 23 that wasn't used in the video.
- Page 25 and 26, where you will see the camera panning over to the random characters coming in as the foot guy looks on. A few characters have been moved up a bit to cover the space where the text was from the book in the video.
- On the last page the camera was zoomed in on the foot guy's left and right foot, then the backing of the book was used to where you see the foot guy and duplicates of the foot guy walking when the narrator said "Feet. Feet. Feet.".
- The last page again is used after the backing pages was used then the foot guy phases to the right leaving the scene as the book comes to an end.
