The Adventures Of Tintin: Season 2

The adventures of the young journalist and adventurer Tintin have been thrilling European and American audiences in many languages for over half a century in graphic novel format, yet the stories remain fresh and exciting for each new generation of fans. The release of the big screen production "The Adventures of Tintin" has prompted the release on DVD of this early 1990's animated Tintin television adaptation. Tintin and his faithful dog Snowy are joined in some of the adventures by Tintin's good friend Captain Haddock, the bumbling detectives Thompson and Thomson, and the absent-minded Professor Calculus.Season Two contains seven stories, six of them arranged in two parts, for a total of 13 episodes. The episodes average just over 20 minutes, just right for the attention span of fans too young for the movie. The animation style very closely imitates that of the original comics, while the stories have been minimally edited for the episode length. The voice actors were British, but this should not be a distraction for viewers. Tintin's boy scout ethics are TV-safe for any age.Season Two contains "The Shooting Star", "The Broken Ear", "King Ottokar's Sceptre", "Tintin in Tibet", "Tintin and the Picaros", "Land of Black Gold", and "Flight 714". "Tintin in Tibet" in particular is considered one of the very best Tintin stories. It and Season Two are very highly recommended to fans of Tintin of any age, including those fans wishing to introduce Tintin to their younger children.

I read it as a kid in readers digest (English)... 1955. My first in French, when I was able to pick through it however much later that was.... I bought it for some of my grandkids when they were little and now they are grown.. I'm going to try to wheedle the books from them.

Great DVD. Loaded with action and humor. Our kids of 8 & 9 loves to watch it & then acts out all the action for days after viewing it! Has some drinking(as the captain is know for that). Made our kids aware of people drinking too much and gave us a good point of conversation.

Though I am posting this to season 2, my comments are relevant to all three seasons in the series. To its benefit: the animation is smooth and of high quality -- the style thoughtfully mimicking the original books. The voice work is equally credible and character-appropriate. To its detriment: the production is guilty of cannibalizing animations for use in multiple episodes -- though that corner-cutting technique is thankfully used sparingly. For broadcast purposes, stories are typically split up over multiple short episodes, which is fine for broadcast; however, for the DVD release, I would have preferred the episodes presented stitched together into longer short films -- a minor quibble that shouldn't deter anyone from watching. Ultimately, Adventures of Tintin is a very well-produced series clearly made with care and consideration for fans of the books.

My wife had a series of VHS tapes of Tintin and we were going to have them converted to DVD, but when we saw this set, we thought better of it. The video and audio quality is excellent and the packaging is a clean design. We are now sharing these cherished stories with our seven-year-old boy.

I bought this because I saw these cartoons as a kid after I had been given some of the Tintin books for Christmas. I still enjoy them at 65.

What can I say each episode and season of Tintin is better than the last. As a cartoon the Tintin cartoon is very interesting and engaging. The cast of supporting charters make the cartoon a happy and funny program. Really good balance of human issues and just plain fun.

Excellent Tintin movie series. Great DVD quality in every aspect. It's my favorite when I was a kid, and now it's my daughter's.

I just finish to watch the first volume, it was great, I have just watch one disc, it is a 2 disc set, but I am afraid to forget to do the review, I just love it, it is really for the complete family, young and old. My friend didn't know anything about Tintin, and he really love it too, me I was in quebec as a child and I read all the books but my friends that love animation some how, he said, I missed out on this one. right now I am trying to find a english version, you know the voices, of the one call in French tintin and the mystery of the blue orange or something like this, I saw the movie as a child with real people , and I had my sight in those days but I guess they did a new one in animation. Actually I would like the 2 of them with english voices. I hope to find it. Too bad that the dot ca amazon don't have a place to have a conversation like the amazon in the state, between customer, we can get a lot of info and more business for amazon. something to think about.

I was so looking forward to this collection andnow I finally get to watch it whenever I please.So fun to visit Tintin's world of intrigue and suspense.Captain Haddock's troubles are hilarious, and Snowy'sthe best friend everyone wants. Love it!

Thank you

Enjoyed by family!!
