The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After the two bad guys have knocked out Mr. Kuraki, they take him to their car and place him in the back seat.

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: After Tintin has noticed Snowy gnawing on the bone, Tintin says "Let's just darken these letters and see what comes up". During the shot of him darkening the letters, the area of the letters on the wrapper that were darkened is differently animated than the area that hasn't been darkened yet. For example, the area of the letters on the wrapper that had been darkened is a dark white color. But the area that hadn't been darkened is a bright white color. This goes for the areas that weren't darkened by the pencil at all. (00:05:30)

Continuity mistake: Tintin is back at his apartment reading the wrapper from the Crabe Extra tin with "Karaboudjan" written on it. Just before he says "Yes, there's something definitely written here", he has lifted the wrapper off the table with his thumb placed on the front and his four other fingers placed on the back. In the next shot, the wrapper is now flat on the table and his four fingers are now placed on the front. (00:05:15)

Continuity mistake: When Tintin is back at his apartment reading over the wrapper, the only things on his desk are the wrapper and pencil in the shot where he says "Only I can't read it" and the desk is also in front of the chair Tintin is sitting at. Later on, after Tintin returns to his apartment after the three bad guys have kidnapped Mr. Kuraki, a phone has suddenly appeared on Tintin's desk and the desk is now on the left of the chair. (00:05:20 - 00:07:15)
3rd Aug 2015
The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Tintin and Snowy are at the apartment examining the wrapper, the word "Karaboudjan" is clearly written on the wrapper. When Tintin goes to darken the wrapper, the word is now hardly visible and has to be darkened in order for Tintin to see it properly. (00:05:15)
