Viewing Notes

Main feature on Anime World Monday on DKUTV. Figured I’d tune in since I haven’t seen a lot of the Tintin movies. This one is perfectly okay. One thing bugged me in the logic: when Tintin discovers the secret cave with all the stolen artifacts he never returns or contacts the authorities. Like, what the hell. Other than that this is a nice kid’s adventure with a Bond-ian super villain with his own villain lair under the lake.

I don’t know how readily available the other Tintin movies are but I’d like to watch more. They’re kinda nice for Sat/Sun morning viewing.
