Cigars of the Pharaoh: Part 1 - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: The shot of the letter being placed into the envelope and being stamped with the symbol is used twice. The first time is after Tintin meets R.J. Rastapopolis. The second time is after the boat arrives at the docks and Tintin goes onto another boat. Notice how the way he closes the envelope is the same and the stamp of the symbol is placed in the exact same position. (00:03:30 - 00:05:05)

Red Rackham's Treasure - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: In the very first shot of the Sirius, the anchor is about 10 foot away from the Sirius sign and not yet released into the water. When the boat leaves the docks, the anchor is now a mere foot away from the Sirius sign and the anchor is now retracting from the water even though it wasn't even in the water a minute ago.

Red Rackham's Treasure - S1-E5

Other mistake: When Haddock walks over to Tintin whilst the boat is on the docks, a crate is lifted. The X that is written on the crate disappears from shot when the crate is lifted, revealing it was not animated in each frame of the shot. (00:06:45)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 2 - S1-E2

Trivia: There is a mistake pointing out that the newspaper at the end is a flipped shot. If you flip it the right way round, you will see on the right hand side of the article the word "Spielberg" on one of the lines, a reference to director Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg went on to direct the Tintin movie Secret of the Unicorn in 2011. (00:43:35)
