What other underrated animations should we watch on the channel??
cartoon saloon movies.
my favourite is "the breadwinner" but fan favourites seem to be "song of the sea" and "wolfwalkers".
the worst in my opinion are "secret of Kells" and "my father's dragon" so 💔 maybe avoid those on the first watch
Christopher Robin!! Granted, it's not entirely animated but it's beautiful and brings Winnie the Pooh to life like nothing I've ever seen.
Never ceases to make me cry!
Over the Hedge
@@vizer0424 that movie is so funny!
Monsters vs aliens
Here's a fun fact. The artist at the beginning of the movie who asked if he had drawn Tintin, was portraying the original author.
Hergè
Additional fun fact: there were actually a couple of reasons for that creative choice:
1) Hergé was a fan of the work of Steven Spielberg (who, along with George Lucas, likely borrowed inspiration from Tintin when making the Indians Jones movies), and apparently declared that Spielberg was the only director he felt would be capable of doing a Tintin movie (there had been other attempts at Tintin film adaptations, but they’d all bombed). Spielberg, for his part, expressed a great deal of admiration for Hergé’s work, and so worked the artist/author into the film as an homage to him.
2) it was also done as an in-joke; Hergé had been in the habit of having a little fun by drawing himself into his Tintin comics as a background character.
@@Shadowkey392 Actually, Steven Spielberg was unaware of Tintin when he made The Raiders of the Lost Ark and heard of it after the fact when some fans compared Indiana Jones with Tintin. He says it himself in the behind the scenes documentary of The Secret of the Unicorn.
@@mevb After Lost Ark, a few references to "the Blue Lotus" snuck into "Temple of Doom":
The villianous Chinese Man Lao Che at the beginning of the movie was a reference to Mitsuhirato the evil Japanese Man who not only owns an Opium Den in Shanghai, but also works for a Drug Cartell last seen in "Cigars of the Pharaoh", which "the Blue Lotus" is a continuation of.
And Shortround, Indiana Jones' Chinese Kid sidekick, is actually a reference to Chang Chong-Chen, Tintin's Chinese Friend, who he rescued from drowning in a flood that also killed Chang's Birth parents. Chang is actually based on Hergé's best friend, Zhang Chongren, who was an art student at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. He is the same age as Hergé, and was given advice during the creation of "The Blue Lotus", mainly to avoid ethnically negative stereotypes that were used for the sake of comedy. Chang was added to the second half of the story as a way of saying "thanks for helping out".
Yes, only true tintin lovers know this
Steven Spielberg is a massive fan of the Tintin comics by Hergé when he saw a positive review for his film _Raiders of the Lost Ark_ being compared to Tintin, which is no surprise as Tinitin is described as "Indiana Jones for Pre-Teens/Teens"
At the same time, Hergé (the author/creator of the Tintin comics) was dissatisfied with the Live-Action film versions of Tintin and also the Tintin animated series and animated films ("Temple of the Sun" and "The Lake of Sharks"), but was a huge fan of Steven Spielberg (both through his films and as a person) and thought Spielberg was the only person who could ever do Tintin "justice”. Spielberg who fell in love with the Tintin comics was set to met Hergé for a meeting to get the rights to Tintin while he was busy filming _Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,_ sadly Hergé passed away in 1983 (just 40 years ago), but Hergé’s widow, Fanny Remi later give the rights to the Tintin material to Spielberg, but it remained in development hell for two decades due to Spielberg’s other commitments and also how the Tintin film was supposed to be adapted. It was the suggestion of Peter Jackson, who also is a huge fan of the Tintin comics like Spielberg that CG motion capture was the best way to go to bring the world of Tintin to life and it worked out in the end for the actual movie.
Finally another fun fact, Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Jojen Reed in _Game of Thrones;_ Newt in the _Maze Runner_ series; Ferb in _Phineas and Ferb)_ was set to portray Tintin but dropped out after filming was delayed. Eventually, Peter Jackson suggested to Steven Spielberg to have Jamie Bell to take on the role of Tintin after previously casting him as Jimmy in the 2005 _King Kong_ film
Surprisingly, Jamie Bell (Tintin) and Andy Serkis (Captain Haddock) who both were in _The Adventures of Tintin_ also worked together previously in the 2005 _King Kong_ film.
I hope Spielberg will eventually make a sequel to this movie.
@@wikiuser92 Same here. I heard that Peter Jackson is set to direct the next Tintin film while the third film will be directed or produced by both Spielberg and Jackson
@@EChacon There's even plans for a third one? Wow. Well, if this movie could survive 20 years of development hell, hope's not lost for the sequel(s).
@@wikiuser92 Well if we had to wait for 13 years for _Avatar: The Way of Water_ after the first Avatar film, and 11 years for _Puss in Boots: The Last Wish_ following the first Puss in Boots then perhaps the same can be said on waiting 14-15 years after _The Adventures of Tintin_ for the next Tintin sequel.
However, it all comes down to Steven Spielberg and especially Peter Jackson’s work schedules especially the latter, because they seem to have been focusing on other projects following the release of _The Adventures of Tintin_ so it’s going to be a while till we get actual news for the next Tintin film. However, Jamie Bell in a recent interview from 2022 said that he would be open to play Tintin again even in his 40’s (40-45).
@@EChacon yeah Peter Jackson is supposed to direct it after the last Hobbit film comes out. The one that released almost 10 YEARS AGO! WTF Jackson?!
This is THE (and I do really mean THE) most underrated animated film, most underrated Spielberg film, more underrated Williams score, ever. It. Is. Stunning. Some of the best cinematic choices, the best visuals, some of the coolest fight scenes. What you said, "live action cartoon" really sums this up. I can't wait for them to eventually do a sequel.
im lucky i saw this in theatres, it really needs a sequel my parents who are foreign and dont know anything about tintin loved it aswell.
This is literally one of my favorite movies of all time, I'm shocked it's still that underrated.
Heck, even me country's dub is top notch! Not a single voice feels outta place!
History lesson about Tintin: In the 1920's, a man named Herge started making comic strips about a boy and his dog going around the world for adventures. Herge made Tintin comics all up until the 1980's and he passed away before finishing one of the comics called "Tintin and the Alph-Art".
Through the years, Tintin has been adapted many times to cinema, games and television. The most known ones are two live actions films, a very popular animated show that aired for a year between 1991 and 1992, and finally, this film!
Spilberg was supposed to meet Herge and talk about making the film but on the week of the meeting, Herge died. His wife decided to give Spilberg the rights to do the movie anyway because Herge never liked any of the screen adaptations that were made and believed that only Spilberg will be able to give Tintin justice.
Needless to say, Spilberg and Peter Jackson (Who was a fan of Tintin himself), did not dissapoint and I'm waiting for the sequel.
Daniel Craig did a perfect job portraying the villain
100% agreed
That was him
He does that. Daniel Craig, if he wasn't bond, would make a great Bond villain.
@@poskeegget8043 well now we've seen 3 previous 007 actors portray villains first Timothy Dalton in Hot Fuzz then Pierce Brosnan in The World's End and now Daniel Craig
@@JohntheLNERP2 Edgar Wright, not only directed Hot Fuzz and World's End, but was also involved in this movie. So he's kinda had a hand making the 3 Bonds into villains.
What I loved best about this film was the fact that they rather artfully mixed together several different storylines from the Tintin comics, namely "The Secret of the Unicorn" and "The Crab with the Golden Claws", and all the newspaper cuttings in the study, which detail Tintin's exploits, are also nods to the other books, namely "The Blue Lotus", "King Ottokar's Scepter", "The Broken Ear", "Cigars of the Pharaoh" all that good stuff. Sakharine's character in the comics was not a villain, just some rich dude who collects model boats and appears exactly once, but they had the idea of crossing him with another character who only claimed to be Red Rackham's descendant to get their hands on the treasure.
Not to mention that even Hergé's art for Red Rackham even LOOKS suspiciously like Sakharine, and you wonder if they touched upon some plotline Hergé decided not to pursue.
The ending of the film comes from Red Rackham's Treasure, where, after Tintin, Haddock, The Thomsons and an eccentric, hard to hear inventor named Professor Calculus comes back from the search of Red Rackham's Treasure at the sunken ship (after the coordinations from the three scrolls in The Secret of the Unicorn), though the treasure wasn't found, plenty of things were found including a letter from King Louis XIV stating the chateau Marlinspike is gifted to Sir François of Haddock for his services but the chateau wasn't of Haddock family's possession anymore. Luckily, Professor Calculus had sold his prototype shark submarine, which they used during the treasure hunt, and buys the chateau for Haddock. When Tintin and Haddock check out the celar where The Bird Brothers' (the real villians of The Secret of the Unicorn) antiques storage in the basement, they find a globe which matches with the riddle of the scrolls and when they open it, the globe contains Red Rackham's Treasure.
Seeing all those book names you just mentioned gave me so many memories of my childhood reading and watching the animated series lol, such great works
@@mevb Though, in the film, the treasure in the globe also contained a note on the treasure that sank at the bottom, meaning the events of Red Rackham's Treasure still happened, but for a different reason or intention.
I'm so glad you guys watched this movie! It's criminally underrated
I see what you did there lol And YES, I 100% agree, almost no one knows who or what Tintin is when I mention it. They don't know about the comics, in any language, and they don't know about this movie adaptation.
DAM STRAIGHT THIS MOVIE IS SO FUCKING UNDERRATED
@@aliyahpulido953 I didn't even do that intentionally lol XD
You know what’s funny my name is Kristine but my nickname given to me at birth is TinTin
@@kristineavendano1670I have a uant nicknamed tintin now it feels funny whenever I call her that
I do hope Spielberg actually make another one, he's literally now the only and last one to have the blessing from Hergé himself to make Tintin movies, I've been waiting years on only rumors of it in the works.
Peter Jackson supposed to do, but he made the hobbit. . . and Spielberg always is making new films and producing, he don't had time
Snowy was always the MVP of the TinTin stories.
Love this movie, there's something about it that has that 'Uncharted' feel to it, feels like an actual adventure you'd want to be on. Sucks we never got a sequel.
Yeah Peter Jackson was hoping to do the sequel don't no why he didn't
@@ethanholgate2512 Peter Jackson was probably focusing on other projects after _Tintin_ such as _The Hobbit_ Trilogy (even though he was filming those before and concurrently while producing Tintin) along with producing _Mortal Engines_ and directing several documentaries including _The Beatles Get Back._ Even the same can be said for Spielberg as he was also busy directing and producing other projects such as _Lincoln, Bridge of Spies, The BFG, Ready Player One, The Post, West Side Story_ and _The Fablemans_ after the release of _The Adventures of Tintin_
@@EChacon Yeah, this would have been right around the time when Peter Jackson's plans for the hobbit movies was falling apart thanks to Warner Bros' meddling, the original director left, Peter Jackson had to not only finish one film but stretch another into two films, which if you watch the trilogy back to back, you can see them devolve more and more as PeeJ's energy and enthusiasm for the project just drains and drains.
@@christopherwall2121 I remember how much criticism Jackson get for something that he didn’t had a hand on, the studio was the one who wanted hobbit to be ‘another LOTR’ so they wanted to add in as many characters and as many wars as possible when Hobbit is supposed to be an adventure tale of Bilbo not a heroic journey. It’s so evident in interviews how much sorry Jackson felt cause he himself was a fan of Tolkien stories.
There is a screenrant article from last year, saying that a planned sequel is still in the works, it's just taking a very long time to develop. Peter Jackson is still attached to direct. There is a IMDB page for the sequel slated for 2027. Even it's a placeholder, I'm taking it as a sign the sequel hasn't been cancelled.
i used to have a bit of an obsession with this movie as a kid and now that i'm older and seeing it for the first time in so long, i'm happy to say it totally holds up! I'm surprised at how underrated this movie is, if i had to guess it's probably because people don't like this animation style at first glance.
For anyone not aware there is a possible Tintin sequel in the works. The first movie is actually a co-production between Spielberg and Peter Jackson. The intended plan was to have Spielberg direct the first movie, and Peter Jackson would direct a sequel, followed by someone directing a 3rd movie to complete a trilogy. As far as I know, the sequel has not been cancelled, it's just in development hell. Actor Jamie Bell said he's willing to reprise the role, and even though he's getting older, it's a mocap performance so he'll still look like TinTin.
I hope they end up doing it still!
@@whitenoisereacts If you were to do another "underrated" film, then "Pom Poko" would be a good one. The movie by Studio Ghibli (written and directed by Isao Takahama) is an environmental story about "Bake-danukis" (pronounced Bah-kay danukis) or Tanuki Yokais (simply referred to as Tanukis, which are Raccoon Dogs) that were living in Tama Hills, defending it from people doing construction for "New Tama Town". In order to resolve this, they're relying on the ancient art of transformation. Basically, it's like the Lorax if it was set in Japan. Bare in mind there's scenes involving Tanukis using their testicles as part of morphing their bodies, but Japan wasn't treating it as sexual in nature.
Getting back to Tintin, the stories were published on Newspapers, but they were later published in books afterwards when each story is complete. This movie combines 2 stories ("Secret of the Unicorn" and "the Crab with the Golden Claws"), with an ending from "Red Rackham's Treasure", a sequel story to the "Secret of the Unicorn" book. In "Red Rackham's Treasure", the idea of a "Red Rackham descendant" was discarded after Haddock fought all those fakers away, and in an adaptation of the story in the 1990s animated series, the idea of it was removed completely so that they would jump to introducing Professor Calculus, another Tintin mainstay character. It's likely that Spielberg, who got into the series when people compared it to Herge's work, and even got the attention of Herge, wanted to make Sakharine be the villain so that the "Red Rackham descendant" idea wasn't completely pointless.
A few more things to note, when Spielberg heard about Tintin after Raiders of the Lost Ark, he went so far as to include Tintin elements from "The Blue Lotus" to "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" as a tribute to Herge; specifically the beginning scene in Shanghai, Lao Che being an evil Chinese character (akin to Tintin's evil Japanese character Mitsuhirato), and the character of Shortround being based on Chang, a Tintin character based on an actual person who Herge made friends with when developing the Blue Lotus.
Also, Tintin is from Brussels, not England. And Mr. Silk is not arrested, but that's likely because of how Herge tends to have his narratives involve people who were misguided yet not completely bad people, or that there are people in the world who would stoop so low compared to others.
Awesome reaction you guys and glad to see you be one of the few reactors to react to _The Adventures of Tintin._ Easily on Spielberg’s most underrated films.
Keep up the good work and here’s to hope for 140k subscribers this week.
The just like Japan & Korea are notorious for mangas, USA & Belgium reign supreme in the comic department. Tintin comics did start as a newspaper strip in 1929 & became full fledged comics. internationally known as one of the most notorious reporter/detective to comics and pop culture, like Sherlock's Holmes is to the bookworld.
Some fun tidbits - or Tinbits :) (sorry for the length, lol):
-Tintin is, in fact, set in Belguim, (written/drawn by Belgian comics artist Hergé in the early 1900's), although a canon area commonly visited in the comics, is I think set somewhere in vaguely English countryside.
-Snowy talked (or well, only the audience 'understood' him) in the early days of the comics until Haddock came along as a second talking main character, and then others became regulars, etc. Funny thing, Haddock didn't get a first name (Archibald) until very late in the comics' run. Mans was just 'Captain Haddock' up until that point.
-This movie is a mashup of 3 of the classic Tintin comic stories - 'The Crab with the Golden Claws', and the two-parter 'The Secret of the Unicorn' & 'Red Rackham's Treasure'. Liberties are obvs. taken story wise - in the OG Unicorn/Treasure two-parter, as far as I recall, Saccharine's character is a red-herring of a Rackham descendant. He's legit just a normal dude who looks like the guy and has no interest in seafaring or what-have-you. Love what they did with him in the story mashup legitimizing him, tho. All 20-something comic books are a great read. 'The Shooting Star' and the Moon two-parter are some of my personal faves.
-If you want more animated Tintin, the majority of the comic books were turned some time ago into an animated series that's today available on Prime Video. Fun way to experience the original stories, IMO. There's also a couple of Live-action Tintin movies that are themselves original stories not present in the comics. Would love to see a react to the animated series, not sure if anyone's done one yet. Obviously of its' time TV-animation-wise and bit less action-packed than this movie, but still decent for the time IMO.
-They were going to make more of these mo-cap animated movies, perhaps or perhaps not mashing-up more the stories into their own runtimes, but unfortunately only had the licence from the Hergé/Tintin estate to make them for so long and it unfortunately ran out in I forget what year. As far as I remember, Spielberg established the contract with Hergé (you see his stylized self in the start as the street artist, btw) while he was still alive, or someone else with the rights to make that call after, and after the man's passing I guess they didn't or couldn't get it extended in the time between this movie and the deadline. Just an unfortunate fact of Spielberg and Jackson being busy dudes in the industry working on other projects.
I second the suggestion to check out the 2D animated series. It's so fun, literally the comics come to life. Also there are a couple really cool live action French Tintin movies. Surprisingly fun, and they managed to capture the personalities perfectly in live action form.
Spielberg probably wanted to promote Saccharine to a villain, because Herge wasted the concept of a “Red Rackham descendant” by having Haddock beat up all the fakers and refusing to give a share of treasure to anyone who claims to be Rackham’s descendant, before we were introduced to Professor Calculus… what made it even worse is that the 90s TV Series skipped that pointless filler and went straight to Calculus’ introduction.
Stephen Moffat was asked by Spielberg to write the script after Edgar Wright recommended him, but after writing his first draft he was offered the job show-running Doctor Who, so Spielberg & Peter Jackson agreed to release him from his contract & Edgar Wright & Joe Cornish worked on the next draft, then Edgar Wright had to leave to direct Scott Pilgrim so Joe Cornish ended up finishing the script all by himself but still only got 3rd billing for the screenplay.
So you are correct, Tintin is a comic with multiple adventures and stories, some being standalones, others being two parters.
In this case, this film takes references from several of the comics:
1) Secrets Of The Unicorn
2) Red Rackham's Treasure
3) Crab With The Golden Claws
And there are so many specific references and Easter Eggs all throughout the film, you really have to know your Tintin to spot them all.
The comics are very detailed and easy to read, I would highly suggest checking them out. There is also a cartoon series which are beat for beat in terms of the comic books
The only ones I caught were the news papers
The Blue Lotus
The Lost Ear
The Otokkar Sceptre (Forgot how to spell that)
I also for for Castaphore’s debut into the comics but it’s not really much of an Easter compared to others
Fun fact : Tintin was the main inspiration for Spielberg to realise Indiana Jones
I think one of my favorite bits about this movie is how the street painter at the beginning in the market resembles Hergé, the author of the original comic books. The fact that Spielberg went as far as to honor his work and legacy like that makes me (someone who grew up with those comics) wanna thank him with all my heart.
I did not know this and had to google the man to see images and you're dead-on correct, that's just amazing. Kudos to Spielberg for that.
And also, in a scene where Tintin is reading the newspaper, you see that the paper’s name is “Le Petit Vingtième”.
That’s actually the real life newspaper Tintin was first published in!
I am a huge Tintin fan. Yes it's based off of a Belgian comic strip, but you can buy them all in actual book form now. Several of the strips were actually written during WW2 and as a result there was a lot of censorship and Herge had to be extremely careful what he wrote. This film is actually a combination of three main stories, with a lot of changing it to make their own version of a Tintin story, but with the heart and soul of the original Tintin characters.
There are also constant nods to other stories throughout the film. If you are a fan there are so many Easter Eggs and they can be as subtle as the golden fountain in the singer's scene, the fountain is in the shape of a crab and is made of gold, which is reference to the story "The Crab with the Golden Claws".
I was first introduced to the character through the cartoon series I watched as a kid. As I got older I went out and bought all the books and have re-read them several times.
I saw this in theaters with my family, we're all fans of the series so we were geeking out over every detail. Yes, Tintin of the comics is imminently capable and scrappy. The series is full of international travel, narrow escapes, natural phenomenons, colorful recurring characters, it's an excellent adventure story. Delightful to get your reaction and see you swept up in the action.
I was obsessed with this movie as a kid and was so surprised how many people had never heard of it
same
I have to say that I'm so glad y'all reacted to this movie! It's so underrated and it does a great job mixing both the comics, and old cartoons elements. All while creating a story of it's own. The camera work/shots were dynamic, and interesting. And that long unbroken shot in the village was an *experience* lol. It was one of my childhood favorites. ♡
The style of The Adventure of Tintin movie is amazing. And Tintin was a great character.
I was a HUGE fan of the cartoon when I was a kid…it was up there with Speed Racer, Sailor Moon, and X-Men for me…and I was so happy when I was sitting in the theater and watching this.
It's shame no one ever talks about it especially since movies like these tend to be the best and most exciting. Also another motion capture movie you guys should consider watching is Monster House.
It's a pity they didn't make the second half of the story. It would have introduced another primary character, and been completely about treasure hunting.
Tintin is just such an iconic series of comicbooks. From looking for stolen relics, to fighting opium smugglers. From mounting a rescue mission in the snowy Himalayan mountains, to finding a lost city of the Inca. From the weirdness of a fallen meteor, to the epic journey to the moon. The world of Tintin is never dull and worth exploring.
Tintin is a Belgian comic book.
It started your as a comic strip in newspaper (Le Petit Vingtième. There’s a little homage in the movie itself!) but got so popular that proper comic books got published by Casterman.
I don’t know how popular the comics are in the English speaking world, but to us francophones, Tintin is an ICON!
It’s my first time hearing English with Tinti! When the movie came out, my dad took us to the theatre and we watched it in French.
It’s so funny to me that they kept Tintin and Haddock’s names as is, but Milou is Snowy!
I still have all my Tintin comic books under my bed.
I’m as bummed as you guys that they didn’t make more movies because Tintin’s adventures are WILD. There’s lots and loooooooooots of drugs!
This movie is indeed based of a Belgian Comic. I'm From Belgium en here its a very popular Comic book series. So its fun seeing people react to the movie who are not familiar with it.
Oh my gosh, I finally found other people watching TinTin! This is one of my most favorite movies ever since I was a kid. I’m so glad you guys are watching it! 😁
This was based on a Tintin comic, the Secret of the Unicorn, which was a two-part with Red Rackam's Treasure, where they hunt for the lost Unicorn. Some changes were made to wrap up the story neater, and they pretty much lifted Captain Haddock's introduction from the Crab with the Golden Claws straight up lifted in, even if that meant Tintin had to be kidnapped (in the comic, Haddock is a convenient fall guy for an opium ring). They were going to make Red Rackam's Treasure, but alas the box office was not their friend. In the comic they follow the scrolls halfways around the world, recover the wreck, find the island Sir Francis was marooned on (and several bottles of three-hundred year old rum) only to find they had to go all the way back to Marlinspike Hall. Here they find the treasure there and the clue.
The sequel also had the third member of their adventuring trio, the absent-minded and deaf genius inventor, Professor Cuthbert Calculus.
So Tintin is based off of a comic strip by Herge, in Belgium. There were books made and then It was made into a cartoon series In the 90s, animation is more like how it appears in the books. It’s amazing, please react to the 90s cartoon next.
Tintin is originally a comic book series! My grandpa has them all so I spent many hours reading them as a kid. Also used to watch the animated series, which we had on cassettes (that tells you how old they were). I should go back and read/watch them all again.
I absolutely adore this film, as it was the first 3d animated movie I saw. Im glad you guys enjoyed it so much! I recommend Master and Commander for an amazing high-seas adventure film. It features Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany and several other recognizable actors and I think you guys will really like it.
The most underrated of all Spielberg films imo. Great animation and cinematography, amazing performances, and a catchy score from John Williams. I wish we should’ve gotten a sequel to this. Andy Serkis is amazing as always 🙌🏻
Same here, this movie will always hit that sweet spot
There've been less tentative plans for a sequel sometime in the next half-decade, although there's still a chance it could slip back into development hell.
i used to collect all Tintin Hergé books. I was in complete awe when this one came out, specially with the voice acting because I don't know how it is in English but in my country they kept the same voice actors cast from the cartoon which I was a huge fan of too.
I was JUST thinking about Tintin and wondering whether they should have a live action film…. And then SUDDENLY you have a reaction video! The universe is aligned.
If there was an irl version I could see Tom Holland, he's got similar features but it'd be weird seeing him with blonde hair lol
@@Shyknit i always thought Will Poulter, I think was his name, played Gally in Maze Runner, looked like Tintin
This was meant to be! Just yesterday I stumbled upon a copy of Tintin vol 1 (which of course I immediately bought) and now you guys are reacting to it! How perfect is that?!
Tintin is such a staple of my childhood! I loved the TV series, loved this movie, and now am excited to dive into the source material which inspired this childhood hero of mine.
The thing Spielberg and PeeJ did, that was very smart, was make sure the art department kept all the characters looking cartoony enough to keep out of the uncanny Zemeckis valley. You'll notice that Haddock, Sakharine, Nestor, Thomson and Thompson, Mr. Alan, etc. all have just enough of a caricatured look to them that yuour brain doesn't go on huh alert like it would for something like _Beowulf_
Also, the characters' eyes move. That also helps.
Damn I’m late, are you guys finally watching TinTin? I’ve been recommending it for 2 years now. So glad that you guys got to watch this masterpiece. TinTin and Haddock had such amazing bro chemistry. Haddock is great at parts where TinTin fails while TinTin is great at parts where Haddock fails, add that with Snowy who’s a perfect loyal dog, they’re a great team. Of the centuries of rivalry between Haddock and Sakkhrine total boost the spice of the plot along with the mystery and actions of Unicorn ship. If you guys want to watch underrated animated movies like this then I’d recommend The Legend of the Guardians: Owls of Ga’Hoole, Meet the Robinsons, Epic, WonderPark, Cinderella 3, SharkTale, Ice Age sequels, Tinkerbell movies.
38:30 Here's a bit of history regarding the sharks. I forgot if the movie specified where the Unicorn was sunk, but if it was in the Atlantic the sharks began following ship routes because of the Atlantic slave trade and any deceased captured slaves would've been dumped overboard.
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are great as Thompson and Thomson in this.
Tintin is adapted from comic books, and then they made it into animated TV show back in the 1990's. There are actually a lot of episode of Tintin animation.
Each book have different story. This movie is actually a combination of three or four comic books, so they combine different stories into one movie.
It kinda sad Steven Spielberg discontinue this, because there are so many lore and characters on Tintin universe that need to be explore
I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. I loved it too. It is clearly made by fans of the characters.
The guy drawing Tintin at the start of the film is supposed to be Herge himself, who looks a lot like a drawn blonde character who keeps showing up in the background of the comics, which is also apparently supposed to be Herge.
Spielberg and Jackson planned for a trilogy with Spielberg directing the first and Jackson the second with both of them as producers for all three. The sequel was supposed to be out by 2014 but the screenplay kept changing with Edgar wright being one of the original screenwriters established himself as a successful independent director, left for his other projects including Baby driver. Waiting for the sequel since a decade ❤️ - Spielberg & Tintin fan
I absolutely love the adventures of Tintin. For me it’s always given off the vibe of Sherlock Holmes meets Indiana Jones, so much potential for storytelling with him. I hope one day, some creative writers pick them up again.
Loved this movie so much. My siblings and I grew up on the TinTin comics and cartoon series because of my dad. We were all so excited for this movie and we’re still holding out that there will be a continuation
I'm 18 seconds in the video and hve to tell you already that I am SOOO happy you are doing this!I loved the comics when I was a child and they are fit for grown-ups, too.
I so look forward to this reaction.
I'm so glad yall are watching this. I've been waiting for you to watch this. Love this movie.
This film both understands its source material more than any other, and also brings transitions very cleanly from anything controversial in the original book(s). It is criminally underrated!
This is an underrated king of the 2010’s movies
So glad you're finally watching this one.
Us fans are still waiting for the sequel that's been rumoured about for ages.
While I haven't read that many of the comics, I do still have a few audio tapes of some of the stories so I know most of the stories they took for this film.
I love the blend of realism with the comic style, all while using motion capture. The characters both look and act just how I think of them, the casting was spot on. And the technology was at just the right level where it isn't uncanny like Polar Express or Christmas Carol.
If there's another franchise I'd love to see try a motion capture film, it's the Professor Layton series, as that has an art style inspired by Tintin.
Tintin was probably my first animated crush. I used to watch the animated show on Nickelodeon as a kid and I LOVED that investigative reporter vibe and it's what got me into books like Nancy Drew and later Sherlock Holmes.
Tintin was created in Belgium by creator Hergé and started publication as a comic strip and then moved
To colorer hard cover comic book, being French from Montreal as a kid a read most of the different adventures, later on a carton series was created and few of the hard cover coming book were turned to movies “ L affaire Tournesol and TinTin et le temple du soleil”
Love this film! The score is so amazing!! I hadn’t realized it was John Williams until now, which makes total sense
As a side note Tintin comics aren't teenage mysteries at ALL.
The first comics strips were Tintin and the Soviet Union after all. Just like Seinen manga that target adults audiences.
Strangely enough Western culture has the idea that animations (which are often seen as a cartoons) is automatically for children.
This movie is good but the original comic books are fantaaastic, for me my favorite book series alongside Harry Potter. It would be incredible if you guys read and reviewed even just a few of them for the channel!
The cartoon series is freaking good, too, and mostly available on streaming platforms and even UA-cam 😀
As a guy who has been a Tintin fan since elementary school, this movie, while just throwing elements from two different stories into a blender, and then adding some stuff, still managed the humor and spirit of the comics well and nailed the characters perfectly. It was everything I'd want out of a Tintin movie.
Also, the street cartoonist at the beginning who asks if he'd drawn Tintin before? He has.
That's Hergé, the comic's original creator, and the 'charicature' is his original comic design.
This is one of those fictional things that has much more of a following overseas - here in Europe, where it’s from and is way more ingrained in pop culture. I know many dog owners who names their dog "Struppi" after the German translation for Snowy - so it not being very well known to American audiences isn’t a surprise per se, but still a shame that the industry over there refuses to recognise foreign IP‘s as much as domestic ones, and absolutely FAILS them in their marketing
Hollywood taking on Tintin was a nice risk they took, which unfortunately evidently didn’t pay off enough, so ya. That’s why Hollywood hates taking risks with fiction these days
I’m glad it’s getting more recognition now tho! :)
If you’re interested in all the nitty gritty Tin Tin detail & history, I HIGHLY recommend this video:
ua-cam.com/video/CCIZ_jROYh4/v-deo.html
Edit: a really cute touch is that the portrait artist in the intro is actually the creator of Tin Tin, Hergé :)
Not just in Europe, but in most French speaking countries around the world too.
For example, my dad is from Czech Republic, lived his teenaged years in Algeria. The comics were very popular there when he was a boy.
I was born in Haiti, but raised in Québec (Canada).
When I was growing up, every classroom and school libraries had Tintin comics (along with Lucky Luke, Yakari and Spirou) on their shelves.
The Tintin animated series still gets reruns here! And, during the winter holidays, all the Tintin movies get airtime.
I think that for us francophones, Tintin is a cultural icon!
The reason is because Hollywood is an American thing, and also, tintin was box office success,the sequel is just in production hell.
I can't believe someone did a reaction for this! This makes me happy because I loved this movie ever since I was a kid, and I agree, it's really underrated. Thank you, guys!
Okay, so Tintin was a serialized comic strip in the 1930s. Tintin is one of the classic comic characters and the stories have been adapted many times over the years. This movie was a collaboration between three massive Tintin fans: Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, and some other famous director I can't recall. They did this movie as a passion project, then agreed that if it were successful, they would come back and continue the series after their next projects. No word on that sequel yet. This movie adapts 3 of the classic story arcs into one narrative. It does deviate from the originals in several key points, mainly that the movie's main villain was only a minor character in the originals.
3:18 - We open with a nice deep-cut here. The caricaturist is actually Herge, the artist who created the character of Tintin (so yeah, he HAS drawn him a few times before). The sketch he draws is Tintin's actual design from the comics.
6:40 - Get used to this. Snowy is a bit of a Dogus Ex Machina.
18:34 - Actually a Sherlock Holmes reference. Several cases are mentioned in the Holmes stories that we never actually get to hear and the Giant rat of Sumatra is one of them.
33:12 - So there's a phenomenon in neuroscience, I don't remember what it's called, but basically it says that it's easier for you to remember things if you are in the same mental state as when you learned it. The classic example is students remembering studies when they're tired, but my favorite example (and the one that's relevant to this movie) was a plot element in the hit stoner comedy Beerfest. They called it 'drunken recall.'
43:57 - From here on, the next 2.5 minutes is a single unbroken shot.
Heck yeah! Great reaction guys. I was pretty much smiling uncontrollably the whole time right along with you.
I grew up reading the Tintin comics over and over, then the movie came out and I went to see it for Christmas. I’m so glad you guys liked it! Especially your observations about how real, but also slapstick it is, which I feel is drawn straight from the Hergé comics. The movie was so faithful to the heart of Tintin, and I love so see others discover this special part of my childhood ♥️
Fun fact: Tintin is the highest-grossing animated movie distributed by Columbia Pictures not produced by Sony Pictures Animation
I remember requesting this a while ago. This is one of my favorite films! I even wrote a fanfiction story about a character for Tintin. I'm so happy that you got to watch it and that you enjoyed it.
So underrated. I love how dark and cinematic it is while still having its cartoonish source elements. It’s like a PG Indiana Jones
This has probably been mentioned before, but the artist in the beginning of the film who drew Tintin was designed to look like Herge, the original creator of the Tintin comics.
I'm form Québec, and the adventures of tintin is a lot more popular here. It's a belgian comic book series, and there are old animated movies of the more popular ones. the original language is french so it's weird to see how they changed the names into english! for example, snowy is actually called Milou in french XD and all of Haddock's swears sound so funny too XD
Man I love this movie so much and I've been praying for years that they do a sequel... maybe one day!!!

When i was young i watched this in denmark. And i thought the movie was with real people.
I loved how you guys were so energetic and enthusiastic while watching the whole movie. It made me more excited about this movie. Tintin is actually my favorite person in this movie. He is a very cool kid. He is always certain about his adventures and knows very well what is best on his adventures. Tintin also is very brave and very smart and adores his dog Snowy very much. Tintin also is very curious about solving new mysteries because he always wants to explore new wonders. I also love Tintin’s accent. It is very creative when he speaks it.
OMG I'm so happy this movie is being reacted to! Super underrated and the transitions in this movie are one specific thing that I love pointing out, they are so creative!
This movie is primarily based on two comic albums named the secret of the unicorn and its sequal the treasure of rackham the red. I had the most Tintin Albums as a kid and there has been an animated series of Tintin, adaptation of the albums.
I cane into this film knowing that is was adapted from a comic, but never heaving read it before. So I had low expectations but it blew me away, my brother and I agree it is SO underrated.
Tin Tin was a Belgian series of comic books, more like graphic novels, that were published from the 1920s through the 1970s. They're hugely popular through much of Europe and have a large but somewhat cult following here in the States.
This is one of the best animation movies I've seen. Also it's underrated movie....bt I loved the animation....it's awesome ❤
I love how they say's Haddock's full name in the movie, it was only learned in the very last comic (Tintin and the picaros) when he get's bonked on the head by some sort of alcohol bottle.
3:22 "I have to say, your face is familiar, have I drawn you before?" "Occasionally." The artist is an animated depiction of Herge, who created and illustrated all the Tintin Francobelgian graphic novels!
I learned French at a language-immersion school from kindergarten to 5th grade and I remain fluent today. Part of the program was that any assigned reading time HAD to be in French, and we had most of the Tintin books (in French, of course) available and I LOVED to read them! When this movie had just come out, I was about 9 or 10 years old and obsessed with the books, so I begged my mom to take me to see it. I had an absolute blast seeing the characters brought to life in 3D animation.
Another fun fact is that Tintin's dog, a wire fox terrier, is named Snowy in the English versions, but in French his name is Milou.
This is one of my favourite standalone animated films for sure, though there is supposed to be a sequel coming eventually! Can't wait for it if it does ever come along!
It will depend on the schedules for both Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson considering that they are incredibly busy working on other projects.
A spectacular movie that I can't believe isn't more well known.
And is a crying shame that it never got a sequel.
Historically pirates really used cheapest, small, disposable ships just for boarding, so prey capture was a matter of life and death.
Sorry for my mistakes, but I'm french and not the best in English.
So, Tintin is a Belgian comic book written by a man named Hergé when he was like 16-17. At the time he was a scout and he didn't had the opportunity to decide about what he wrote, it was a cleric who told him what to draw. The strips were published in a Belgian newspaper named "le petit XXe". The first book is "Tintin in the Land of the Soviets", it aged pretty badly to be honest.
He wrote some other stories about Tintin later on, but the following ones would be nowadays canceled because of racism and animal violence. It can be explained by the time period (1930) and his youth.
After that he met a man named Tchang, it was a chinese student that lived in Bruxelle who befriended Hergé. Tchang showed him that when one tries to depict a culture and country it is important to take a look outside the box and dig the subject. This friendship changed his way of writing, he cared more about the acuracy of the events he discribed.
That's when he wrote 2 of his best and most famous comics, "the cigars of the Pharaoh" and "the blue lotus". His following albums depicted the troubles in Europe and in the rest of the world, in fact world war 2 was about to start. It's also when he created his own universe and countries, Syldavia, Borduria and later San Theodoros.
During the war Belgia was ruled by germany, so he had no choice and stoped talking about the current events. It's a time where he got a lot more into south american and arabian history. When the war ended Tintin was the first comic of it's time who got it's own magazine. Hergé kept writing Tintin's stories until he died in 1983. He's last book, "Tintin and Alph-art" was left unfinished but has been published to honour him.
With a total of 24 comics, Tintin turned into a legend of the Belgian and French cultures. But no more Tintin comics were released after , as one of his wishes was that no one would continue his work after his death.
Nevertheless 2 french live action movies were released in the 70's as well as multiple video-games. But my personnal favourites are the animated series and 2 animated movies with one being an excelent original story.
There, that's a short version of Tintin's evolution through years! Hope you'll like it!
@03:23 That's actually Hergé (Georges Prosper Remi), belgian chap and the cartoonist having inventing and drawn Tintin from 1929 on forward. And just in case you wondered: Tintin was the first man on the moon. And Snowflake the first dog. 🙂 Indeed an quite underestimated movie and deeply personal project to Steven Spielberg.
The main theme for this movie is so good.
I've been waiting for a reactor to react to Tintin!!! This movie is massively underrated. WAY Ahead of its time.
The performance capture on this film is incredible I hope you react to the behind the scenes videos it isn't just animation
I grew up with Tintin, Asterix & Obelix and Lucky Luke. I didn´t even knew Marvel or DC existed before I was teenage. This film hit me so hard with nostalgia. I love this film so dearly.
So cool guys, this movie was my introduction to knowing who Steven Spielberg is as a kid I wasn't to interested in seeing it in theatres till my dad told me "do you know who made it" I said who one of the all time great filmmakers in Steven Spielberg that got me more interested and I've loved this movie ever since
I really like the adventures of Tintin. It is my childhood. I watched the series religiously as a child. I also love the animation on this movie.
10x better than the Uncharted movie, the fact it's not a series is criminal.
That Dam sequence alonenis the reason why Tin Tin is one of my faves to watch. A few of my other faves include, Inception, The Mummy, and Speed Racer. ❤❤
As a french and I imagine as a Belgian, this has a particular taste of childhood
I have a headcanon that the golden orb at the beginning is an apple of Eden, and that the sailor is in fact an assassin.
It's been ages since I watched this. Great to revisit this with you guys
I haven't seen this in ages! I loved this when I was younger. Thanks for letting me relieve some old memories. Love this movie!!
From the UK here, Tin Tin is HUGE in Europe due to it's comic strip and the animated show in the 90's, When Spielberg did Raiders of the Lost Ark and did the press for it in Europe people compared Indy to Tin Tin in terms of the adventure element. He read it and Brought the screen rights, Meanwhile, years later Peter Jackson grew up on Tin Tin and make a short film showing of MoCap and wanted to film a Tin Tin Movie and found out Spielberg had the rights and the two of them teamed up for this film, a 2nd movie to be directed by Peter Jackson was to be made but nothing has been heard from this since he finished The Hobbit Trilogy.
I adore this film and Spielberg really shows that he can still pull of this kind of film and honestly really adapts its source material well my only complaint is John Williams's theme (Blasphemous I know) it's just in Europe and the UK if I said hum the Tin Tin Theme most over 30 would hum the tune from the 90's cartoon which I honestly wished they kept lol, but this film is REALLY underrated!
All the characters are perfectly cast and I LOVE Serkis as Captain Haddock.
My son enjoyed this movie so much that we had to get him the video game for it. The video game actually follows the story line pretty faithfully and we had the roughest time getting off the ship before it flooded.
Best use of performance capture Andy serkis plays captain haddock
my parents and i grew up reading the tintin comics and here's some info
tintin is a belgian comic series with iirc 23 complete comics and 1 incomplete one. the names of a lot of characters change when it was translated to english, like snowy vs milo, prof calculus vs prof litmus, thompson and thompson vs dupont and dupont, etc.
all of the comics follow tintin's adventures in different situations, countries, etc (including space lol) and because of when and where the comics were written and released, a lot of the books were very racially insensitive at best.
tintin in the books is just a very awkward journalist with friends who are stereotypes but also just generally insane.
the last book was unfinished at the time of the author's death and was published as bits of what he had worked on with some translations and explanations. all of the books are fully colored except for the first and the unfinished one
I really enjoyed ‘The Adventures of Tintin’🔥😆. I loved and adored the storyline. The animation, sound, cinematography and the effects were amazing. For me Daniel Craig was amazing as the antagonist in this film. Loved your reaction, take care and have a good one❤️👍
