Tintin in America - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: When Tintin follows the mob member from the diner to the building, the scene cuts to an exterior shot. A hot dog stand is shown outside the building, with a vendor standing beside it, but in the next shot, the vendor is suddenly standing behind it. (00:16:40)

Explorers on the Moon: Part 1 - S3-E11

Other mistake: Wolff is explaining that if the motor is shut off again, the magnetic sole boots they are wearing will stop them from floating. Whilst he is explaining this, he is placing the boot straps over the Velcro. The first strap he places is only partially on, but a few frames after, a blip occurs in the animation, and the strap is suddenly entirely over the Velcro. The same happens with the second strap as well. (00:08:00)

Destination Moon: Part 2 - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Calculus is showing Tintin and Haddock the airlocks in the rocket, there are three levers shown, two of which are level with each other. Once Calculus has been told to return to the centre, the two levers that were level with each are now in two different positions. (00:32:15)

Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: To launch the model rocket into outer space, Tintin pushes a lever with a green handle. Once the control tower is told to engage the nuclear motor, the first lever that Tintin had pushed is now a blue lever and the second lever that Tintin is now holding onto is a grey lever. Two shots after that, both the levers are now green. (00:16:00 - 00:16:35)

The Castafiore Emerald: Part 2 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Castafiore is complaining about the stairs not being fixed, the first shot of her shows nothing on the torso section of the dress she is wearing, but when the shot is on her next, a small design has suddenly appeared on the chest area of her dress. (00:24:55)

The Castafiore Emerald: Part 1 - S3-E7

Revealing mistake: When Castafiore is showing everyone the Castafiore emerald, after she says "He named it in my honour", the shot cuts to a close-up of her hand, saying "The Castafiore Emerald." At the start of the shot, she has two rings on two fingers, then she turns her hand and the two rings vanish from her fingers entirely. (00:09:00)

Prisoners of the Sun: Part 1 - S3-E5

Revealing mistake: When Tintin is swimming back to the boat after escaping the ship, Haddock is quickly rowing back and forth to reach him in time. As Haddock rows, the bars used to place the oars through can be seen moving back and forth, along with the movements of the oars, even though the bars are supposed to remain still during the oar movements. There are also frames from this shot where the bars vanish from the frame entirely as Haddock rows. (00:07:25)
