Our take on The Adventures of Tintin

Steven Spielberg brings the beloved comic-book reporter to animated life in this 2011 adventure mystery. Intrepid young journalist Tintin and his loyal dog Snowy stumble onto danger when a model ship they acquire turns out to guard an explosive secret. Pursued by the sinister Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine, who suspects him of theft, Tintin joins the salty, cantankerous Captain Haddock and the bumbling detectives Thompson and Thomson on a globe-spanning hunt for the Unicorn, a sunken vessel promising vast fortune and an ancient curse. Fast, buoyant and richly detailed, the film chases old-fashioned thrills. It suits families and anyone fond of classic treasure-hunt escapades rendered with modern polish.
