** The entire sequence where Mull Pasha orders his men to attack the Horsemen (Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock) is changed. In the comics, he described men heading towards Djebel, followed by the fact that there will be armoured cars and the fact that they are allies of the Emir. [[PoorCommunicationKills In that order, confusing colonel Achmed]] resulting in [[HilarityEnsues the armoured cars getting bombed]]. Here, the colonel bombs the armoured cars, despite the instructions being clear, ruining the joke.

** The entire subplot where Tintin is mistaken for a revolutionary supporter of general Alcazar, because he [[AlcoholInducedStupidity drunkenly kept shouting]] ''[[AlcoholInducedStupidity "Long live General Alcazar!"]]'' is changed. Instead, he is mistaken for a revolutionary because he was arrested, (which happened because he was framed as a terrorist). For that matter, Tintin's death sentence getting delayed because of the revolution and due to the guns not working is also left out.

The [[WesternAnimation/{{The Adventures of Tintin|1991}} 1990s animated series]] based on the ''Franchise/{{Tintin}}'' comic books is TruerToTheText than all of the other adaptations that preceded or followed it. However, it is still a case of CompressedAdaptation. [[PragmaticAdaptation For pragmatic reasons]], three albums, many minor characters and situations and even entire subplots didn't make it from comic book to animation:

** ''[[Recap/TintinTintinInTheCongo Tintin in the Congo]]'' was infamous for its racial stereotyping, insensitive portrayal of colonialism and careless massacres of wildlife. Quite unsuitable for modern audiences, needless to say.

Again, the crocodile killing scene is absent from, at least some version of the Nelvana series, reducing the entire scene to a single joke where Haddock mistakes a crocodile for a log and uses it as a boat. Not sure if the scene was present in some earlier version and this was just an edited version, though.


** In the comic book and the 1969 Belvision film, before finding the Temple of the Sun, the team got lost in the jungle and Tintin has to kill a giant snake constricting Zorrino to save him. This was entirely omitted in this version, probably because of animal cruelty.
