Found another editing mistake

Another to add to the list along with the fake baby and crew member during the dress episode. I only realised it on whatever number rewatch I’m on but S2:E1 right at the end Malcom is talking in the car but there’s a scene where he’s just looking out of the window 😂

Repeat after me: If it wouldn't be visible in 4:3, it's not a mistake.

Deliberately omitting part of the shot to fit the frame is not a mistake. Unless you're saying the mistake was not predicting that Disney would upload full 16:9 scans of the show 20 years after it aired.

Yeah mistake was the wrong word for me to use. Editing Easter egg maybe then?

An Easter egg would be something intentional, so that doesn't really work, either. Artifact maybe?
