King Ottokar's Sceptre: Part 1 - S2-E4

Other mistake: Tintin walks into Hector's apartment to give him his briefcase. An animation error occurs regarding his magnifying glass in the shot where Hector says "Just leave the mail on the table if you please." For the first few frames of shot, the circle around the edges of the magnifying glass is colored yellow. Then as he says the line, the edge of the magnifying glass suddenly flickers to black during the shot. (00:01:55)

The Broken Ear: Part 2 - S2-E3

Other mistake: In a flashback of Lopez stealing the gem stone, he places the idol in his bag and closes it. If you watch the idol as it closes, an animation error occurs where it vanishes from shot just before the bag finishes closing, revealing that the animators forgot to draw it in each individual frame.

The Calculus Affair: Part 1 - S1-E12

Other mistake: When the taxi gets hit, the number plate reads "GE 7051" on the back of the car, but when the taxi falls into the water, the number plate reads "GE 7054" on the front of the car. The number plate should be the same on both ends. (00:14:55)

The Calculus Affair: Part 1 - S1-E12

Other mistake: One of the villains says "With pleasure" after looking at Calculus and his radio. The other villain has a cigarette in his mouth. In this shot, you can see the cigarette has two ends to it. The edge of it cannot be ash because that would have been washed away in the rain. (00:03:15)

The Blue Lotus: Part 2 - S1-E9

Other mistake: There is an outside shot of the police station. There are several "+" signs on a brick wall in front of the wall to the building. However, not one part of the wall or window is seen through the "+" signs on the wall in front of the building. Just some green wall. (00:32:35)

Cigars of the Pharaoh: Part 1 - S1-E6

Other mistake: The detectives run away from a goat that chases after them. If you watch their movements and the goat's movements, you will see the goat isn't running in the direction they are running in just after they jump over a sand hill. (00:15:25)
