Tintin in Tibet: Part 1 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Just after Haddock finishes saying "That's not my idea of a vacation," he goes to read his newspaper. On the front page of this newspaper is a headline that reads "Ray Jones." About seven seconds after this happens, the shot returns to Haddock where we can see the headline is now twice as small as it was before. (00:01:55)

Audio problem: Tintin wakes after having his nightmare and causes mayhem across the room. Haddock later says, "You were dreaming about that crash on the news" somehow without his mouth syncing up with the speech during the second half of this line. (00:03:55)

Tintin in Tibet: Part 1 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Haddock points out to Tintin he was dreaming about the crash on the news, the background shows a pitch black sky (around 11 o'clock sky). Yet a further two shots later, the background shows a partially lighter sky (still night, around 7 o'clock). (00:03:55)

Continuity mistake: After finding out Chang was in the plane crash, Tintin shouts "No!" Directly 180 degrees in the background is a woman sitting on a table. In different shots of Tintin, that same woman is seen sitting on a table almost 140 degrees in the background. (00:05:15)

Revealing mistake: The shot after Tintin says "We can't give up now" shows Tintin, Haddock and the Sherpas hiking through a dry hill. Over the first hill is a part of the ground that is black. As the shot continues, an extra part of black ground instantly appears from nowhere, as if the animators forgot to draw the black ground during the first half of shot. (00:11:55)

Other mistake: When Tintin enters the cave, the footsteps follow behind him. An animation error occurs regarding one footstep, in which half of it vanishes from shot for a quick frame and then reappears as the shot starts to pan, revealing that the footsteps were not drawn by the animators in each individual frame.

Tintin in Tibet: Part 1 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Tharkey re-enters the plane where he and Haddock made camp, Haddock asks "Any sign of him?" Tharkey replies and you'll see the sky in the background is grey due to the storm. Shot cuts to a wide angle where night suddenly comes from outside of the window. (00:16:55)

Continuity mistake: When Haddock starts lowering Tharkey into the cave, a rope is wrapped around a walking stick. There are three loops around the stick to begin with. A couple of shots later in a close-up of the stick, there are now only two loops in the rope. (00:19:05)
