Other mistake: When Mueller is at his desk, writing, a fly comes into his view. Just before the fly appears in view of him, he is writing on his paper, but he is just shown writing in the exact same spot and nothing ever appears on the paper. (00:33:55)

Flight 714: Part 2 - S2-E13

Other mistake: In order for Rastapopoulos to break into the secret passageway, he places chunks of dynamite around the idol, then lights a fuse for each individual chunk of dynamite, all burning at the same time. The fuse for the dynamite near the middle of the idol is significantly shorter than the fuses for the others. Despite this, it still takes the exact same amount of time for all three to burn down. (00:34:00)

The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2

Other mistake: After the recap from the previous episode, Tintin, Haddock and Snowy are on a boat. Tintin is shown pulling on a rope to attach a sail. The amount of rope shown near the ground is never seen extending. It remains the same length even when Tintin is pulling on it. (00:25:05)

The Red Sea Sharks: Part 2 - S3-E2

Other mistake: Tintin and Haddock discover that part of the ship is on fire and discover a group of people hiding out under the deck. Haddock then lowers a ladder, down below the deck, so that the others can climb out, but even after every single person down below decks climbs out, the fire has not extended or grown further in any way, even after the time spent letting all the people out. (00:34:50)

Prisoners of the Sun: Part 1 - S3-E5

Other mistake: After the man on the ship tells Tintin that Calculus' punishment is death, he yells for Alonzo, and Tintin then punches him. When the man is punched, it is apparent that Tintin's fist never even enters the frame. There appears to be a flash effect indicating that he had been punched, but Tintin's fist is never shown hitting him. (00:07:05)

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)

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)
