Wow. I have to admit that's not something I usually notice. Now, in addition to Bad Astronomy and Bad History in movies, I'll have to add Bad Natural History and Bad Anthropology. Cool :D
It doesn't generally bother me in kids movies, especially cartoons, because the characters are really substitute humans, not real animals. They could just as well be aliens or something. In a movie that tries to be scientific (or as someone mentioned, throws out a "scientific fact" I can get kind of snarky.)
I did manage to piss off some friends by suggesting that if the X-Files movie was taking place in summer in Texas, then there probably weren't regular flights to Antarctica, but X-Files kind requires a whole separate class in how to suspend disbelief.
