there are a lot of story mechanics that don't make sense. like Sacagawea was cut in half in the first movie but survived because she was melted back together -- meaning while she was "alive", she was still made of wax. However, in this movie when Jediddiah was trapped in the hourglass, he was in danger of dying. Yet if the same mechanics apply, he should also be all wax and unable to die. Furthermore, if the characters are all wax even when they are brought to life, this means that Ben Stiller kissed a wax figure when he kissed Amelia Earhart.
I am very confused.
