The Adventures of Tintin is an HBO animated television show based on the classic series of comic strips by Belgian artist Herge. This series first aired 39 episodes in 1991 over three seasons. Tintin is a young Belgian reporter whose assignments lead him into a wide array of adventures, including mysteries, political thrillers, and science fiction expeditions Known for its clean and expressive animation style, The Adventures of Tintin includes lovable characters like Tintin's faithful dog Snowy and the incompetent detectives Thompson and Thompson. This series is the most faithful television adaptation of the original comic ever, excluding only some outdated themes that would be lost on younger audiences and straying away from the alcohol-related humor often employed by the comic strip. The comic often relied on the pertinent topics of the day for source material, and this series maintains that sensibility with contemporary themes. The Adventures of Tintin is a fun-for-all-ages and intelligent series, full of political satire, slapstick humor, and engaging story lines.MORE
