Details: Product Description From Academy Award® -winning filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson comes the epic adventures of Tintin. Racing to uncover the secrets of a sunken ship that may hold a vast fortune -- but also an ancient curse -- Tintin and his loyal dog Snowy embark on an action-packed journey around the world that critics are calling "fun for the whole family."* *ABC-TV (Chicago) Parce qu’il achète la maquette d’un bateau appelé la Licorne, Tintin, un jeune reporter, se retrouve entraîné dans une fantastique aventure à la recherche d’un fabuleux secret. En enquêtant sur une énigme vieille de plusieurs siècles, il contrarie les plans d’Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine, un homme diabolique convaincu que Tintin a volé un trésor en rapport avec un pirate nommé Rackham le Rouge. Avec l’aide de Milou, son fidèle petit chien blanc, du capitaine Haddock, un vieux loup de mer au mauvais caractère, et de deux policiers maladroits, Dupond et Dupont, Tintin va parcourir la moitié de la planète, et essayer de se montrer plus malin et plus rapide que ses ennemis, tous lancés dans cette course au trésor à la recherche d’une épave engloutie qui semble receler la clé d’une immense fortune… et une redoutable malédiction. De la haute mer aux sables des déserts d’Afrique, Tintin et ses amis vont affronter mille obstacles, risquer leur vie, et prouver que quand on est prêt à prendre tous les risques, rien ne peut vous arrêter… Amazon.ca The Adventures of Tintin follows the exciting exploits of a young reporter, his dog, a sea captain with a drinking problem, and a couple of bumbling Interpol detectives as they travel from Europe to the Sahara and Morocco in pursuit of a pickpocket, model-ship collectors, and long-lost treasure. Steven Spielberg's and Peter Jackson's long-awaited full-length film, based on the original "Tintin" comics by Hergé, combines the stories "The Secret of the Unicorn," "Red Rackham's Treasure," and "The Crab with the Golden Claws" into a generally fast-paced adventure that feels just a tad too long. The individual stories and the characters Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, and Thompson and Thomson are all quite faithfully represented. The motion-capture animation is similar to that of Polar Express and is both fascinating and a bit odd at times. As in the comics themselves, the characters are highly stylized and instantly recognizable, but Tintin's facial expression is eerily stoic and there's a hint of strangeness that's hard to put a finger on. Snowy is delightfully funny to watch, though he is a bit fluffier than in the original comics, and the real animation standouts are the secondary characters like Thompson and Thomson and Captain Haddock, who somehow seem absolutely perfect. Devoted fans will revel in the abundance of small details that reference the comics and suggest a true love for "Tintin" on the filmmakers' parts, but even viewers who don't know a thing about the comics will thoroughly enjoy this exciting adventure.
