At the very least one of the greatest theme songs.

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?"

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

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. ✌😀

Except for the racism..

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...
