d.
The movie is responsible for the so-called "Bambi-confusion" ("Bambi-Irrtum") in German-speaking countries. In the book Bambi is a roe-deer (German: Reh). But since there are no roe-deers in the US,
Walt Disney
changed Bambis appearance to that of a white-tailed deer, which in turn is unknown in Europe. However, both the original German-dubbed version from 1950 and the re-dubbing from 1970 stuck to the original
Felix Salten
version and called Bambi a roe-deer instead of a stag (German: Hirsch), which would be a lot more correct. Since the appearance of Bambis father and Bambi in adult life resemble a red-deer (which is common in Europe) a lot closer than an adult roe-deer, kids in German-speaking regions for the past 60 years have come to believe that a Reh (roe-deer) is the younger version of a (Rot) Hirsch (Red deer). This confusion has never really been cleared up for many so that this is now even taught to children by their parents who saw the movie when they were young.

b.
The professors name in the original novel (French language) was Otto Lidenbrock, a German. In the movie it was changed to Oliver Lindenbrook, a Scotsman. The name of his assistant Axel was Caledonized into Alec. (This was done because of historical hindsight, as 19th-century Scots had become known as the best field geologists, with Germans preferring lab-bound geology.) A more drastic change had already been made with the first (anonymous) English translation of the novel when the Professors surname became Hartwig and Axel became an English student named Henry Lawson.
c.

In the early briefing scene where Arthur Lundahl, director of the CIAs National Photographic Interpretation Center, shows a map of the missiles range, the town of Oxford, Miss., is one of the targets. All other targets were major US Cities. This was not an error. Its not clear whether the joke started with the Kennedys or the CIA, but in any case President Kennedy was still smarting from the previous months riots in Oxford, which put him at cross-purposes with a recalcitrant Governor Ross Barnett of Mississippi and U.S. Army generals whose hesitation to dispatch troops to northern Mississippi bordered on insubordination. Kennedy was said to have quipped "Can they hit Oxford?" when told about the missiles.
d.
