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)

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)

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.

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

Other mistake: A museum curator notices that the leg of a dinosaur bone head been stolen after Snowy removed it. During this shot, the dinosaur's foot hasn't moved an inch. How can this be possible? Snowy managed to remove a dino leg with his teeth, so must have dislodged the rest of the bone while doing so. (00:26:55)

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.
