Default Tin Tin
As a child I always had fond memories of Herge's hero although the animated episodes shown on TV were annoyingly short- only about 10 minutes or so.
Distinctly remember the stories
Crab with the Golden Claws
Red Rackham's Treasure
Objective Moon
Star of mystery and
Black Island
The peripheral characters such as Captain Haddock and the Thompson twins reinforced our hero with reliable allies, and although the animation was quite crude (apparently Herge wrote to Walt Disney about animating Tin Tin but his letters were never answered) it was eminently watchable stuff.
When I first saw Harison Ford in Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark I immediately recognised similarities with this one time comic strip character.
Gripping stuff!!

Oh and it's also available on DVD.

I love 'Tin Tin' and was intrigued to discover he is about to get the 'big movie' treatment courtesy of Spielberg and Peter Jackson. Mr Crook will be pleased to see that the screenplay will be written by Steven Moffat.

Mind you, this was over twenty years ago.

We knew him as Danny...... but what proper Belgian form his name would have been I'm not sure. Got a photo of him somewhere.

Apparently Spielberg acquired the rights in 1980, so it's been a long time coming.
Let's hope Peter Jackson(as much as I like his films) doesn't make the length of the film anymore than three and a quarter hours!!

I've loved the Tintin comic books not only as a child and couldn't accept any film it was transformed in. I'd just hope they wouldn't try to come up with a totally new story or do the film very close to the comic pictures. Y'know, like they did in those pathetic Asterix films. Awful.

Which of the characters, apart from Tintin and Snowie would you love to see? My choices along with the regulars like Haddock, the Thompson twins and Calculus would definitely be Bianca Castafiore. I always loved the chemistry of her and Captain Haddock in the books.
Hello Belgium!
