Welcome to The Adventures of Tintin guide at TV.com.
This animated series is based on the Belgium comic of Georges Remi, better known as Hergé. For 75 years the comics are very popular in Europe. In 1991 Nelvada Studios decided to create an animation series about the reporter. The movies that were made so far, were very disappointing but the series became a big success.

About the show
The show is about the young reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy. For some reason, everywhere he goes, Tintin is always getting into trouble. He's traveling all over the world and whenever it gets messy, Tintin can count on his loyal friends; like Captain Haddock, General Alcazar and the young Chinese boy Chang.

About the characters
Tintin is the main character of the seires, he is a reporter, with a taste for adventure, he is clever and many times has narrowly avoided death, only to quickly run back into danger. Through doing this he has brought many criminals to justice, stopped many crime rings and saved his friends lives many times.
Snowy is Tintin's dog. He is very good at sniffing out enemies, chewing through ropes tying up his master, and scaring gorillas with a single bark. He has saved Tintin many times over.
Captain Haddock is an alcoholic, he loves Loch Lomond whisky and is often drinking it despite being president of the S.S.S. (Society of Sober Sailors). He is often dragged into adventures that he does not wish to go on, but once on them he is courageos, especially when he gets mad and an array of bizzare insults can be found flying from his mouth.
Professor Cuthbert Calculus is a sheer genius, despite being almost completely deaf, or as he puts it "just a little hard of hearing." He seems only to properly hear the phrase "stop acting the goat" wich enrages him beyond compare. His devices have been what got Tintin into many adventures and what got him out of many adventures alive.
Thomson (curly moustache) and Thompson (strait moustache) are a couple of buglung idiot detectives, despite being so stupid they are among the most fun characters to watch about because of the idiotic stunts. I guess that's just what happens when your motto is "dumb's the word."
Bianca Castafiore, A.K.A. the "Milanese Nightingale, is a powerful opera singer, in the sence that whenever the Captain hears her sing it reminds him of a hurricane that hit his ship in the West Indies. Despite her many appearances singing she is only heard to sing "The Jewel Song From Faust" in all of the adventures.
Chang is a young Chinese boy who Tintin rescued from a flood which claimed his parents. Chang was later adopted into the family of an old Chinese man who helps Tintin stop a drug ring in "The Blue Lotus." Tintin rescues Chang again in "Tintin in Tibet" where Chang is trapped in the Tibetan mountains being cared for by a yeti.
General Alcazar is the part time president/dictator of the republic of San Theodores, the other time he is rebelling to gain back that power from General Tapioca. Eventually Alcazar becomes a knife thrower on the music hall stage under the name of Ramon Zarate.
Rastapopolus is prime evil, and he'll tell you himself if you give him a needle of special truth serum. He seems to be the leader of every crime organization in the Tintin books, he smuggles everything from opium to slaves, and even kidnapped a millionaire and held him to his own ransom. Needless to say Tintin foils al of Rastapopolus's plans. Rastapopolus is also known as "The Marquis di Gorgonzola". Nestor is the Captain's dedicated butler, who has more than his hands full taking care of Captan Haddock's house. He was once butler to the notorious Bird brothers, of whoms plans he did not participate, he was simply their butler.less «

  10 Perfect

  young reporter tintin has adventures hide « show »

  This show is a great cartoon based on Herge's comic books about the young reporter Tintin. The adventures are of many kinds, from a giant meteor with a bizarre element that allows for rapid and large growth in living creatures to the trip to the moon. The characters are all the same as in the comic books. The animation is nice and the opening sequence is good too. Quite a entertaining show. Tintin was an active reporter in the first comics but this seems to give way to an adventurer who does good in the latter ones, although his actual career seems unstated. The first two comics- Tintin in the land of the soviets and Tintin in the congo aren't put in episode form and neither is the unfinished work Tintin and the Alph Art.

  Awesome show!!! hide « show »

  This show is all about a teenage boy and his dog snowy and together they go through new adventures!
  
  There are some awesome episodes on this, in fact most of them are great except for "The shooting star" and "Flight 714" those two are boring but It still Is a fantastic show!!!
  I've read all the comic books and not once has any of them bored me. It's just perfect! My favorite's however are:
  
  -The Cigars of the Pharoah
  -The black island
  -Prisoners of the sun
  -The crab with golden claws
  -The land of black gold
  -Tintin in Tibet
  -The Calculas affair
  
  Those seven are outstanding!
  And remember the characters? The Thompson twins, Captain Haddock, Professor Calculas, Mular, Abdullar and the fat women etc.
  
  A great show to remember for the rest of your life! It's funny, exciting, suspenseful and much more!

  3.1 Bad

  Can't hold a candle to the classics from the 80s. hide « show »

  I am a huge fan of Tintin, I have all the comic books, including the one Hergé never finished. And I absolutely love the original animated movies from the 80s.
  
  I know that series wasn't exceptionally well animated (okay, the animation was poor) and I know that the stories differed from how they went in the comic books... but that is Tintin on TV for me. That series had its own charm, lots of heart and it really appealled to me.
  
  This newer version lacks the heart and soul of the original versions. The animation is only mildly improved and it doesn't come to life the way the series from the 80s did. And I can't stand watching the Swedish dubs as they have recast all the parts and Captain Haddock has gone from temperamental, passionate fireball to slow, peaceful man from Gothenburg. Nope, it just doesn't work for me.

  9.2 Superb

  A great animated show for young and old alike. hide « show »

  A great animated show for young and old alike. If this is a show that you do not normally watch and you are sitting at home with nothing to do, you are going to wish you had it on tape. Having it "on tape" had become the generic term for recorded programs. Today you are more likely to have the show on Tivo or DVR than VHS, or god forbid Beta!! It is kind of like how a lot of people still call CD's "records" or "albums." Anyway, back to the show. This is the type of show that is really pretty good if you would just give it a chance. So on those cold, lonely, rainy days, pop in your tape or DVR or whatever if you were smart enough to tape it. If not, check to see if it is on as a re-run. After all, as they say, if you have never seen it, it is new to you. A good TV watch.

  8.9 Great

  Action and Adventure for people of all ages. Tintin is a classic! hide « show »

  The comics were great and the TV Show was superb!
  
  You don't get that many animated action adventure shows any more! Well at least none of them had the quality of Tintin.
  
  I was pretty addicted to this show, it wasn't just for kids but all ages. The places Tintin went to were usually fake names, but you could often tell what they were based on. The comics when they first came out were controversial because it was around the time of World War II, but when I watch it now I don't see it at all for that!
  
  It has all the elements of a great action film or TV show.
  
  The characters are now extremely well known. Tintin and his loyal dog Snowy were a great team. Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus and The Thompsons provided some great comic relief and they were always key characters.
  
  Read the books or watch the show, or both! - you won't be disappointed!
