* ''Series/Charmed1998'': In "Sight Unseen", when one is developing a photo, it's first put into a developer chemical, which shows the picture up, then a stop, which stops it from developing anymore, then a fix which "sets" the photo. But in the basement, Prue puts the exposed photo into a tray with chemicals in it, where it starts to develop, then into a second tray where it develops fully.

* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'': In "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS18E5 Saints and Sinners]]", the portrait of Benedicta Milson is actually of Margaret Tudor, eldest daughter of Henry VII of England. To fit in with the story, the picture has been altered to include a treasure chest and a necklace around her neck. Her right arm has also been moved to rest on the chest. Originally both her arms were folded across her body, supporting a small monkey which is now partially floating in mid air.

* In ''The Real Princess and the Snowy Autumn'' by Alexandra Yegorushkina, the plot kicks off on a day when somehow everyone decides to talk about rats. This includes multiple students deciding to recite ''God's Judgment on a Bishop'', Vasily Zhukovsky's translation of Robert Southey's ballad of the same name. However, while in Southey's ballad (which [[AdaptationDisplacement is virtually unknown]] in Russia) the eponymous bishop is indeed eaten by rats, in Zhukovsky's version he is eaten by ''mice''.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies2018'' episode "You Ought to Be in Pictures'', the art gallery the Babies visit features a number of famous artworks, most of which are famously elsewhere, incuding the Mona Lisa. It's plausible they could have one of the many castings of Rodin's Thinker, though

** Possible subversion in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E10TheGirlWhoWaited The Girl Who Waited]]", which appears to have the Mona Lisa in the Two Streams Hospital (with the Doctor explaining that "Apalapucians are great cultural scavengers, Rory. This gallery's a scrapbook of their favourite places") until Rory clocks a Handbot over the head with it and it tears like paper. But it actually makes sense that the "cultural scavengers" might be more likely to have a beautifully framed ''print'' of the Mona Lisa than the real thing.

* Part of Mary's [[TheKlutz clumsiness]] in ''Literature/BadNewsBallet'' initially is that her ballet slippers are too big for her feet, since her mother hopes she'll grow into them. However, she wouldn't be allowed to dance at ''all'' in oversized slippers--ballet slippers, even for beginners, must be snug to the foot and well-fitted both to avoid tripping and to make sure the foot is holding positions properly. She would be expected to get correctly sized shoes by the dance teachers.

* ''Film/BlackSwan:'': Nina is chosen to play the lead role in the company's touring production of ''Theatre/SwanLake''. In the world of ballet, because the lead roles are so strenuous and challenging, it's normal to have them shared by several dancers. A company would also be extremely unlikely to have just one principal dancer performing all the lead roles - most world-class companies would have around a dozen.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'': Zelda is seen reading ''Literature/ValleyOfTheDolls'' in the episode "Tick Tick Hilda's Clock", and saying "the things that go on in that valley". The valley in the title does not refer to a place and is metaphorical, referring to withdrawals from drugs, which is what the dolls are.
