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? 🤔

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.

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...

I remember watching The Muppet Show on the DVD, but I don't remember this at all. If I did, then I would be creeped out.

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

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

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. 🙂👍

This was banner entertainment back in the day.

Like so many properties from the '80's these were glorified commercials for the toy line. But teenage us did not realize this when we badgered our parents to get the toys.

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.
