Except for the racism..

I'd not heard of this. Are you aware of Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin (2011)?

A great open/theme IMO. Thanks for sharing. 🙂👍

I can't believe it's already been 12 years. And here I'm like, "They're still working on the sequel, right?"

At the very least one of the greatest theme songs.

I feel ya there. Hollywood seems far more interested in safe profits than good stories. 🙁

I still have all the comics, really loved the series too!

Teeside Tintin is great

The racism was already quite toned down from the comics, and they didn't even bother making episodes for Tintin in the Congo, which was...probably a good decision...

As much as I loved the tintin adventures when I was a kid, that 2011 film Spielberg made I felt suffered from adventure overload. They really threw in everything they could think of and it got tedious to just go from chase to chase to chase.

Guess I just assumed the original was like that too. But I suppose even Spielberg has occasionally taken liberties with his source material. There's just so much to read, and so little time. ⏳ 😏

Were you a reader of the comics and have you seen the 90's series? If so, would you say the series was more true to the original? 🤔

Yes, the TV series is faithful to the comics. The Spielberg movie definitely takes liberties with its source material -- not that the characters are greatly different -- but just that the pacing of the originals was more old school detective but with some adventures.

Was hoping you'd say something like that. Thanks, beeboo. ✌😀
