Other mistake: The villains lower a rope with a noose in it. They place it over a man's beard they believe to be Tintin. The noose is not tight yet, but it suddenly is when they pull on the man's beard, with no way for them to tighten it. (00:17:45)

Continuity mistake: When Tintin wins the game of chess, General Alcazar begins bellowing and ends up knocking all the chess pieces over. The shot after he says "A little joke" shows all the pieces suddenly upright. Tintin then moves another chess piece and all the chess pieces are lying down on the table again. (00:29:20)

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.

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)

King Ottokar's Sceptre: Part 2 - S2-E5

Question: When Tintin and the King discover King Ottokar's scepter had been stolen, both Hector and the guards are shown to have been knocked out. Later, Tintin points out that Hector had stolen the scepter by placing it in a camera, put it next to the window and shot it out of the window using the camera. If that's how Hector managed to get the scepter out of the building, then what was it that caused Hector and the guards to get knocked out? (00:33:10 - 00:35:50)

Chosen answer: If Hector was seriously intent on removing King Ottokar's scepter from the glass cage holding it and launching it through the window with the camera, then Hector would have been forced to knock out the two guards so they would not have interfered with Hector's plan as soon as he removed the scepter from the glass. As for Hector, himself, was explained when Tintin was explaining how Hector stole the scepter. Tintin placed a twig inside the camera and it launched out of the camera. Hector would have placed the scepter inside of the camera, and would have been knocked unconscious due to the spring effect created when the scepter had been launched.
