History WesternAnimation / TheAdventuresOfTintin1991

** [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CwHp9hgW8AEjFLu.jpg:large Tintin disguises himself as a black cabin boy]] in the album ''The Broken Ear''. Since it's a blatant case of {{Blackface}}, the series turned his disguise into WigDressAccent.

* AdaptationalHeroism: The series turned Mitsuhirato's manservant into a Son of the Dragon who [[TheMole infiltrated]] the drug trafficking gang. In the comic book, it is another agent who switches the Rajaijah (poison of madness) with a harmless liquid.

* LighterAndSofter: There's much less gun violence, alcohol and smoking in the series compared to the comic books.

* AdaptationDeviation: The series is notable for largely [[AvertedTrope averting this]], more closely following the comic books' plots than the 1960s Belvision adaptations, although there are still some occasional changes. For instance, in ''Tintin in America'', Bobby Smiles becomes Al Capone's [[TheDragon main henchman]] -- in the comic book, he is Capone's enemy in the MobWar.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Allan Thompson shows up in ''Cigars of the Pharaoh'' whereas he appeared a few albums later in the comic books for the first time, namely in ''The Crab with the Golden Claws''. This is due to the episodes not being produced in the same order as the comic books.

* AdaptationDeviation: The series is notable for largely [[AvertedTrope averting this]], when compared to the 1960s Belvision adaptations, although there are still some occasional changes. For instance, in ''Tintin in America'', Bobby Smiles becomes Al Capone's [[TheDragon main henchman]] -- in the comic book, he is Capone's enemy in the MobWar.

* AdaptedOut: Three albums were not adapted in the series for various reasons. [[CompressedAdaptation A number of subplots, minor characters and situations also don't appear]] in the episodes that were adapted from the other albums, likely a case of PragmaticAdaptation to fit the half-hour / twenty minutes formats.
** ''Tintin in The Land of the Soviets'' was left out because it was only available in Hergé's old black-and-white style, was essentially a very outdated anti-Soviet propaganda piece and lacked accuracy and a focused plot.
** ''Tintin in the Congo'' was infamous for its racial stereotyping, naive view of colonialism and careless wildlife massacre. Quite unsuitable for modern audiences, needless to say.
** ''Tintin and Alph-Art'' wasn't adapted either, because of its incomplete status.
** Snowy's thoughts are not materialized with speech (it is in the comic books, via speech 'toughts' balloons). He's still as smart as in the comic books, but only barks, growls and moans.
** ''Tintin in America'': Probably the album that suffered the most when it was adapted in the series.
*** The [[TheWildWest Wild West]] part has been reduced to Tintin chasing Bobby Smiles up until his mountain hideout. The Native Americans subplot (which is featured on the album's very cover) has been left out entirely, the alcoholic sheriff doesn't appear, Tintin is not ChainedToARailway nor hanged and doesn't hijack a train, and there is no wildfire.
*** The MobWar between Smiles and Al Capone, the CluelessDetective Tintin hires to find Snowy, the corned beef canning factory, the CaneSword fight and Tintin being kidnapped, [[CementShoes attached to dumbbells and thrown at sea]] don't appear either.
** ''Cigars of the Pharaoh'':
*** Zloty the poet doesn't appear.
*** Tintin doesn't tame elephants with a wooden trumpet.
** ''The Blue Lotus'':
*** The fakir and racist American businessman W. R. Gibbons don't appear.
*** Tintin never meets Dawson (the Chief of Police of the Shanghai International Settlement).
*** The part when Tintin is held in custody by British authorities, delivered to the Japanese and condemned to death has been left out as well.
*** There are no comings and goings of Japanese armored cars.
** ''The Broken Ear'': Pablo and Trickler don't apppear.
** ''The Black Island'': The two nameless members of the gang do not appear.
** ''The Shooting Star'': Captain Chester does not appear.
** ''The Secret of the Unicorn'': Brutus the Great Dane and the two 'delivery men' don't appear.
** ''Destination Moon'': Tintin doesn't bump into {{bears|are bad news}}.
** ''Explorers of the Moon'': Tintin finding out there's frozen water underneath the Moon's surface has been left out.
** ''Temple of the Sun'': The treasure of the Incas is not seen.
** ''The Red Sea Sharks'': The slave trader doesn't appear.
** ''Tintin and the Picaros'': The encounter with Ridgewell and the Arumbayas has been removed.

*** Tintin doesn't tame elephants using a wooden trumpet.

*** Tintin doesn't tame elephants using a wodden trumpet.

** ''Cigars of the Pharaoh'': Zloty the poet doesn't appear.

* AdaptedOut: Three albums were not adapted in the series for various reasons. [[CompressedAdaptation A number of subplots, minor characters and situations also don't appear]] in the episodes that were adapted from the other albums, likely a case of PragmaticAdaptation to fit the half-hour / twenty minutes format.

** Bunji Kuraki in ''The Crab with the Golden Claws''. Whereas in the comic he only shows up for a couple of panels on one page and again on the penultimate page, the episode starts with a scene of his meeting with Herbert Dawes, and Tintin later encounters him while he's imprisoned.

** ''Tintin in America'': Probably the album that suffered the most when being adapted in the series.

* AscendedExtra: Al Capone has a more prominent role in ''Tintin in America'' compared to the comic book where Tintin fights various gangs which are in a MobWar (everybody who's hostile to Tintin works for Al Capone in the episode), ascending to BigBad.

** Snowy's thoughts are not materialized with speech (it is in the comic books, via speech 'toughts' balloons). He only barks, growls and moans.

** ''Explorers of the Moon'': the part where Tintin finds out there's frozen water underneath the Moon's surface has been left out.
