The programme reveals how his best-known character began life as the star of satirical cartoons before political intervention saw the writer pen the swashbuckling adventures the boy reporter is known for today. The programme also looks at allegations of racism made against one of Remi's books, which saw Tintin and his friends visit the Congo.

I'm not quite part of the "tintin-generation" (I was born in 2005) but my father showed tintin to me at a young age, and they are still my favorite comics.
Same
same except I'm from the 90's. Glad to hear it keeps reaching new generations!
No one is from the time of Mozart, yet we listen to his music. Same with Da Vinci, nobody alive today was his contemporary, but we line op to see his Mona Lisa. Art, real art, is universal. Everybody can be generation Tintin. You only have to want it...
I'm Belgian from '99 my Dad loved Tintin and other comics. He has the whole Tintin collection at my Grandparents house, even today I still go read a Comic or two when I go visit them (outside of Covid that was).
I was born a year before you I’m so thankful that my dad introduced me to Tintin and Astérix comics. I just hope our generation doesn’t cancel Tintin😔. It’s sad to see that these beautiful works are slowly being forgotten.
My 12 year old grandson found this movie called "The Adventures Of Tintin, Secret of the Unicorn"
And he watched it more than 30 times.
He said that unlike other movies that he gets over easily, Tintin is different.
After realizing that the movie was based off of comics, he begged me.
When he got a whole red set filled with Tintin books, he cherished them and made sure that nothing can touch it by putting it on his prize shelf
He finished all the books within two day lol
He also said that it is easy to re-read and you won't get over it easily
He loved the books herge made
He then found this
He also found and read the animated series
He now forces me to play this while he sleeps or he won't sleep
Thanks for this! Now I have to listen to this every night and that's not a bad thing
I'm a grown man in my 50's, and I still love Tintin. I have all the books.
Me too!
Same here. ;3 got all the books too. :3
me too! And Asterix.
I'm only 47. I also have all the books and have read them many times since the 80s. But I'm only 47. Such a failure.
I have all the books including the lake of Sharks, two coloring books the full DVD sith all the books included.
I was born in 2001 in Iran. I am a big fan of Tin Tin. He showed me the world!
Thanks to Hergé for making my childhood afternoons so enjoyable
Christmas of 1976 my parents gave my older sister The Black Island. She, my younger sister, and myself avidly read it over and over. The next year we each got a different Tintin book. This continued until they could no longer find new stories (this was way before Amazon, so they weren't easy to get hold of). I remember being utterly delighted when I found a ratty copy of The Shooting Star in a second hand shop. It was falling apart, but I hadn't even known of its existence so it was like I had found an inestimable treasure.
When I left home I only took my own books with me. Over the years I hunted down and purchased all the Tintin novels I didn't own. I have them on my bookshelf, and they are treasured possessions. My children have read them many times.
This documentary seems very male-centric, with not only Hergè's perspective being purely male, but even all the interviewees being male. However, my sisters and I absolutely loved Tintin. He fired our imaginations. My favourites were Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon. I loved them so much!
Man, I had similar experiences with Persian translations of Tintin (I'm from Iran). Reading Tintin is among my best childhood memories. You have said things so well that I don't feel that I need to say my experiences (which are similar) again.
Some nights I still have dreams about buying Tintin. I live in Canada now and I have bought the whole series (second hand) in French and I'm trying to learn French to read them in the original language. My only motivation to learn French is Tintin!
@@payam-bagheri That is so cool! Good luck with your French studies!
@@madiantin
Most Tintin readers were/are male. Hergé is male, Tintin and his friends are male. Its only natural that the male perspective dominates the documentary
LOL! I just downloaded the entire TIntin comic book series on one of the public domain sites. Didn't have to pay a single penny.
I think you have illustrated one of the problems with today's muddled world view. Something male centric isn't excluding women, it's just taking pleasure in fully expressing lifes adventures from a male perspective. This is almost a crime these days...thus we have forced representation everywhere, creating a dull, catchall realm of mundane clichéd stereotypes.
He created a world. The humor is great, the stories always captivating. Thanks for the documentary!
Fun fact: The character Tintin is based on the author Herge himself. He and Chinese sculptor Chang were good friends but seperated for almost 40 years when WW2 broke out and they lost contact with each other. Then they meet at Brussels Airport. Shortly after that Herge passed away. The friendship of these two were reflected in The Blue Lotus and Tintin in Tibet which is the author's most favourite episode.
Tintin inspired me to leave my small town and explore the world. Thus, I have lived overseas in 7 countries since 1993. It was the spark that ignited a world of possibilities. #itcanbedone
Tintin never lived "overseas", nor Hergé.
Well done. Inspired by Tin Tin
@@peterhaslund Herge did become a refugee in Paris during WW2 but he never lived abroad (out of Europe). There were rumours he would move back to Etterbeek from Woluwe-Saint-Lambert but Herge said there's no point moving back as he visits it on his walks as it's only 30 minutes away by foot. That was kind of funny really- he never really left his cities front door and yet he knew so much about the world- especially in his latter years
not anymore eh matt! good for you though
I was born in 2006 but I distinctly remember discovering that the show was based on a series of comics, I can still feel the amazement and excitement of reading it volume by volume in my school library
Tintin alone can be a reason to learn french to watch tintin episodes. They sound so much better in french
Surely you must know that in french, Snowy is Milou, Pr Calculus is Pr Tournesol (Sunflower, lol !) and the twins are Dupont et Dupond. As for Captain Haddocks swearing, it's pretty well translated in english :)
Dutch fits too. It's well translated.
(Tintin lives in Brussels, that city is bilingual. They could have just asked Hergé what he mend while translating. There is a high level of French obligated in Flanders.)
Wow I now hear how awful the English version sounds. How can they lose so much of the original effect?!
@@misstoujoursplus
Molou=Bobby
Pr. Tournesol= proffessor Zonnebloem
Dupont et dupond= Jansen en Janssen
Haddock is the same (it's just kapitein in stead of captain)
Belgian French is similar to Flamish in word choice and word order, so I assume they could easily translate it.
@@Treinbouwer Yes, it fits very well in dutch too :)
Yes, better than english, but in my opinion sounds TinTin in German a bit better than in French 🤷🏼♂️
Hey folks- I'm a life long Tintin fan. My mum brought me up on them when I was a newborn and I couldn't speak until I was 4 as I was (and still am) a speech dsypraxic. I have always read Tintin and even now as a university fresher I read it. Every time I read those books there's always something new. Back in 2016 as a college student I did an EPQ (an Extended Project Qualification)- it's an extra A-level. I did what I always wanted to do which was the political and social aspects and development in Herge's Tintin. It was 5000 words long a had to skip some books but I mainly did 14-16 out of the 24 comic books/novels and it took hours to find the resources I needed. I read books from tintinologist like Micheal Farr to Harry Thompson and even authors like Benoît Peeters. Even Herge's biographer Pierre Assouline. The dissertation was sent to the Herge Museum and is saved in the private archives till this day - so I know my Tintin. It took me along time and a lot of effort but I did it and it's the First EPQ based on Tintin. I also had to contact Moulinart and the Herge Museum in Belgium which were really kind and offered me access to any material I needed and gave more suggestions on authors too. At the end of my writing, I sent a copy to Belgium and the Herge Museum kept the final edition of my EPQ in their private archives- which is a childhood dream for me! So I would kinda like to think I am a tintinlogist too now. I think this documentary has got it perfectly right unlike other modern documentaries at the moment- you need to know Herge's personal life before you claim that Herge was a fascist, sexist and racist.
Overall, Herge did have ups and downs. His career is one that is still unknown by a lot of people and Tintin is seen as a comic that a lot of the 'Modern Generations' regard as a racist and pro-Nazi. In my opinion, I agree with Micheal Farr, despite Herge's controversies Tintin has become a national and cultural icon which is used in multiple West End shows, cartoon references like The Simpsons and Family Guy to being part of the Silver Screen of Hollywood. However, despite all of this Herge was always limited to show off the power of Tintin as a cartoon due to the circumstances he lived in from a post-WW1 Belgium to Nazi occupied Europe. He was always a victim of the power of propaganda and politics and he was never truly able to shape Tintin into what he wanted him to be a narrative construct to comment on current social and political affairs rather than being the cult symbol of a certain politics and someone else's design whether that's Norbert Walletz's fascist catholic boy scout or the other artist's unique twicks on Herge's Ligne Claire style. He wanted Tintin to be his- like it was in his school boy sketches in the back of his math book. We can see that like Herge, Tintin matures and realises what is fake and what is reality. Was Herge a racist? The answer is I think he wasn’t- (well not intentionally) he was a victim of political manipulation like Tintin and he realises the way of the world and we have to keep the past pieces of his early work not for them being 'masterpieces' but as a historical evidence to remind how arts can be exploited by the political world and the influential power that has. Tintin goes from a symbol of fascism and right wing Catholicism to a symbol of post-war hope for a democratic, free and peaceful Europe which you could argue was always part of Tintin's identity as he was a child of the The Great War. Tintin became the son Herge never had, the son no Belgium family could have, a son that was lost on the fields of Flanders during the Great War, a son that fully symbolises the personal history Herge went through- when Herge's artistic talent was exploited so was Tintin, when Herge found life long friends so did Tintin, when Herge died - Tintin became a legacy. Tintin will always be a part of me, he's my childhood hero, and I'll always learn something about him everyday from the biographies to the comics- but one thing I know for sure is that Herge made Tintin as a character, a character that every boy wanted to be. The adventurer. The justice-seeker... the ordinary hero. But at the same time, Herge also enabled that character, a character that comments of the social and political climate that becomes accessible to all audiences (even if they are quite a bit stock characters like Captain Haddock)- yet just like this documentary has said the Tibetans are not racial stereotyped in latter Tintin comics unlike the Congolese and the Japanese in the early 1930 graphic novels. It enables Tintin to be a symbol of a post-war world, a post-war Europe of hope, love, equality and peace- which we can see today by the creation of the UN and the EU (formerly known as the EEC). So folks Herge and Tintin are not some neo-nazi scumbags, he like many artists (never mind young artists), of his time are brainwashed, exploited by superiors, and threatened by higherups; before realising the truth and realities of the world as Tintin becomes a character about good over evil rather than evil over good and what is morally right. So was Herge- he learnt and matured as that WW1 backdrop always became an educational scar on his childhood. I think if Herge was still alive today - he would be reminding a new generation (my generation) about the wrongs and horrors that this current world could become. Obviously his earlier comics are more explicitly clear as nationalist, Rexist and fascist ideological propaganda (especially the pre-edited ones from the 1930s and not the edited ones of the 1960s/70s) and the debate at the moment is whether we should ban those books- I would rather see them as comics/graphic novels that we give to more mature and older children as there is no point hiding his dark past. You have to read both the loving adventures and the racist propaganda to really understand and respect Herge's life from naivety and being a child in a propaganda media global war (the likes we will never see in our lifetime), to a mature and more educated adult that wanted to acknowledge and correct his wrongs of his younger years. Maybe you could argue that he is still waiting for us to 'forgive' him from his younger and exploited past. So yes- Herge deserves the credit of being a great (and in my opinion incredibly underrated) comic/graphic novel as he is an European and Belgian icon but also the fact that he matured with social changes showed that he was no extreme racist but a victim of circumstance. A victim of the post-Great War era where Europe was vulnerable to the communist and fascist nationalism ideology which eventually become the populist authoritarian dictatorships we all historical know today as Nazi Germany, Mussolini's Italy, and the authoritarian regimes in the USSR, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Vichy France, Franco's Spain and German Occupied Belgium- and remember there were fascism in both the UK with Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists and in the USA with figures like Father Charles Coughlin, Virgil Effinger's paramilitary Black Legion, and William Dudley Pelley and his German American Bund. So yes- Personally he is up there as one of the best artists to ever exist not only because of how his art connected with me as a kid (like it did with many others)- but how Tintin has become an educational tool to led us all on a moral compass of trying to encourage the good in the world and learn from our past- and just like Tintin became a compass for kids it also became a compass for Herge too as he was truly a man who never had the opportunity to grow up when his childhood was restricted and destroyed by WW1 and the proto-fascist/Rexist world of Norbert Walletz's catholic nationalism. Tintin became a figure that eventually granted Herge to escape from that world rather than conform and become brainwashed too it. Tintin- like Herge, despite their early mistakes and errors, symbolise modern values. Tintin became our imaginary self, my personal gateway away from the daily disablist bullying I faced at school throughout my life. Tintin became the son of a plucky little Belgium, a son of a new Post War (WW1 and WW2) Europe. But most importantly, the child Herge always wanted in his life. Those stories will always be a part of me- my childhood and if I ever have kids I hope they will find solace, joy and love in Tintin like I did. Those captivating stories will always inspire the joys and childhood dreams of my imagination forever.
I suggest reading these books for more information:
- Tintin: Herge and His Creation (by Harry Thompson)
- Tintin And The Secret Of Literature (by Tom McCartney)
- Hergé, Son of Tintin (by Benoit Peeters and Tina A. Kover)
- Herge: The Man Who Created Tintin (by Pierre Assouline and Charles Ruas)
- Tintin: The Complete Companion: The Complete Guide to Tintin's World (The Adventures of Tintin)
(by Michael Farr)
I also suggest watching Herge's documentry of 'Tintin et moi' by Numa Sadoul.
So I want to say thank you for reading this long comment and more detailed historical analysis on Herge's life. I know it was a long one! I’m not normally like this- it’s just something I wanted to correct as I’ve been reading and studying Tintin all my life.
I'll leave you with one of Herge's last quotes and was the quote I used to end the EPQ essay and which the director of the Herge museum wrote in his letter saying 'Eh bien, c'est la citation qui résume Herge' (Well that sums up Herge).
“Tintin brought me happiness. I did my best at what I was doing and it wasn’t always easy. But I had a lot of fun. Moreover, as Sacha Guitry said, I got paid for doing it. Doesn’t that take the biscuit?”
Herge interviewed by ‘La Libre Belgique’ (1975)
- One of Herge's last interviews before he died less than a decade later.
Thanks again folks for reading,
Rory
Something more on the personal note.
I also remember buying the books as a kid from the age of 5, from my own euros- as holiday pocket money that I would save up or grandparents gave me. (Sadly my granny, grandpa (my dad side) and grandad and nanna (mum's side) are all passed away and I lost my granny 2 months after my grandad passed away on Boxing Day night, 2015. I never got to know nanna as he died in 1995 two years before my older sis was born and Grandpa died 2004 a few months after my brother was born). As kids we were allowed one treat each summer. I always went for the Herge books. We would always stop in a place called Beaune in France. There's a kids/toy shop above a book store and you'd go up the spiral stair case up to an huge oak door. The store had huge toys, child size bikes and massive puppets dangling from the ceiling and rows and rows of French toys, puppets, and books but I would run down the top floor down the small steps to the left hand corner where the Herge books were in all languages. As a kid I would just pick up any and start to just dream of the world of Herge. I would spend hours in that corner reading, glaring at those pages and staring through the window into the distance of the Beaune medieval streets and cobbled square. I would get into the plot, the colourful adventures and the captivating humour. Herge will always be a part of me and I felt good when I could read that book, what I bought from that corner in a toy shop in Beaune- and read it no matter where I am at whatever age I am- and still learn something new every time from it. That is the magic of Herge that I fell in love with as a kid and will continue to love forever as an 'adult'- I'll always be that 5 year old at heart haha.
Quality mate have read Tintin since I was 7 years old I’m 57 now still reading Tintin
Tintin and I is truly wonderful. Racism is a result of cultural cues that we pick up from the environment.
My own views on various topics has undergone sea change from my school days to the present...
Everybody evolves.
@@sudhakarravindranath2132 I agree- I think we have to keep his work so that the generations can learn about the context of Tintin (like we do with other works/art) when they have reached the mature age to learn about racism. I am a keen history nerd and was a keen student- and it's all about the context and we have to learn from that context or else history repeats itself. But my own views has also 'undergone sea change' from my school days to today too...
@@chrisdavern9482 I will be the same- what was the poster 'Tintin for children between 7 to 77' but I think you could still be a fan post 77 though. Haha! But it's great to know that people like you are out there and that Herge's message of childhood is still alive and hopefully always be.
I grew up in Montreal, Canada in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s but I was really an adventurer and citizen of the world because of Tintin.
Hergé has drawn an indelible mark on my life..
same.....
i have been caught saying blistering blue barnacles many times...gods that is such an awesome line LMAO!!!
Mine too
What a cheek! Have you tried an ink eraser?
@@baronmeduse ??
He made a Cartoonist out of me. Been drawing since I was 13, and my only art class was Hergé's books.
The man is a legend
Thank you so much Hergé for soothing my childhood soul.
I was born in 2002 but my parents bought me Tintin when I was very young and it was one of the first books that catapulted me into the habit of reading. Hergé and his art fascinated me (it still does) and I ended up reading almost all of the Tintin books with just two left unread. I drew a lot of my values in life from the ever chivalrous, brave and kind Tintin and I'm eternally grateful to my parents for buying this book. I'm planning on buying the entire collection again on my birthday this year.❤
I was brought up on Tintin, and he (Herge) was the reason I became what I am, an illustrator and animator. When I was young, all I wanted to do was create Tintin like comics. I was not good enough, but it was a dream that pushed me later not only to work in the "arts", but also to travel, and as soon as I could, I went travelling, and eventually made it to Brussels - with the sole aim of seeing the city where Tintin was hatched. It was a very interesting few days I spent there - I even met Nick Rodwell (who had married Fanny, Herge's widow by then, and was big in the news for this, as he was many years her junior) at one of his Tintin shops that weekend - that meeting could have been straight out of a Tintin story - I was browsing his shop when I heard this booming "English" accent - he obviously was someone in charge - ordering people in the shop around etc - so I went up to him and straight out asked him: "Are you Nick Rodwell?" After a brief silence, he asked "Why, who want's to know?" with much suspicion. It was a very interesting moment. I told him who I was (just a fan, not some one hunting him down for some reason!) - and once he relaxed he asked if I was here "for the opening"? - I wasn't - I had no idea what that "opening" was all about - and he generously took my name and details and said there would be a pass to the opening night of this affair the next night - as far as I remember it was a celebration of Tintin in Brussels (it was an anniversary too, I just can't recall which one - this was around 16/17 years ago now) - I went the next evening and Blistering Barnacles, as promised, there was a pass with my name on it - and it was a wonderful evening - my only regret was not meeting Fanny, she was there that night, but I was otherwise engaged. After that night, I also went to the wonderful Comic museum in Brussels - there was no Tintin museum at that stage - and this is where I came across Edgar P Jacob for the first time - I had no idea before then who he was - but what was intriguing was that the space awarded to him in this Comic museum was much more than Herge's, more than double I would say - that's how well he was regarded (at least at the time I visited - it may have been "Edgar P Jacob week" ;-) - it was a real eye opener! I have read just about every book about Herge and continue to be a fan, and my Tintin albums, some from when I was a child in the 70's - are some of my most cherished possessions (my father would buy me a Tintin for my Birthday or Christmas, and then when I opened it, he would disappear with it for a few hours before I could get to read it - he loved them as much as I did).
So Herge, and Tintin had a massive impact on my life, and still does, to this day.
Tintin were the first books I learned to read with. “First Men In The Moon”, “Destination Moon”, and “Red Sea Sharks”.
Magical 🎢🏖
I was introduced to his art 🖼 at 6 years old 🎠🎡
My parents were ahead of their time and I so thank them for it ⌛️💡⏰🛍🎁
Totally in love 🥰 with Tintin ⛷
Wish I had saved those precious books ✨🌟🌏🌍❄️🦥🦫🦦🦌🐎
Am am I having a stroke
I was 10 I think when my dad came home with my first Tintin book as a present. He eventually (one book per month) gave me the whole collection and we used to read the books together. Some time later we watched the animated series on Cartook Network, it was great but still prefered the books. I'm 33 now, as an illustrator and animation artist I treasure this memory and recognize how Herge's drawings and stories influence my everyday. It's amazing how something created almost a century ago keeps leaving a mark on people's lifes nowadays.
I had the same background as you, as far as Tintin is concerned, my Dad would buy me a Tintin for my Birthday or Christmas, and then when I opened it, he would disappear with it for a few hours before I could get to read it - he loved them as much as I did. I later got into illustration and animation, because of this childhood exposure to Herge's world of Tintin.
Sames to me
Thank you very much for enriching my imagination, beautifying my childhood and levitating my spirit through Tintin, Mr. Herge! Even in my adulthood, I don't wanna stop reading Tintin!! It's too sad to learn that he wasn't able to finish Tintin and The Alph Art because of his death. Although, I adore all series, my favorites are Seven Crystal Balls, The Prisoner Of The Sun and the most sentimental Tintin In Tibet!!!
Herge is a genius storyteller. Even now, in NZ, he's so popular with the children. His books are always checked out at the library.
Thank you very much for making this documentary! Tintin is my all-time favourite hero, growing up reading Tintin comics gave a depth and imagination to expression in Profesional Art!
I love Tin Tin and acknowledge Herge was a man of his times, stop the revisionist bs. And now, Belgium wasn't an innocent, small, non-imperial country, the had the Belgian Congo...
Spain ruled the sud America
Leopold...
Ah, Kuifje as he's called in the Netherlands. A childhood favourite. I devoured my father's comics.
Little quiff...
Blijft geweldig!
This brought me to tears....grew up with the comics and as an adult when I got to travel...the spirit of Tin Tin was inside me.
An ordinary boy with extraordinary talents.....thank you Herge for bringing Tintin into life❤️
I've always dreamt of travelling round the world and exploring it. I always had a keen interest on learning new languages and travelling around the world, meet different people, learn about different cultures. But Tintin and Herge made it possible for me through those extraordinary adventures. And after I get a stable job, I want to live my dreams. Travel to Brussels, to that good ol' 26 Reu du Labrador ❤️
Back when I was a kid, Tin Tin made me feel the world wasn't as pretty as depicted in Hergé's books. I felt cheated. LOL. I still love the arts now. And it's great to learn about the background of his popular works. This is an inspiration for me.
I still remember my first Tin Tin book - destination moon back in 2002. I was swept away by the artwork mainly , seeing that destination moon was one of the books which had a full art page with the rocket. I was so taken.
Unfortunately, the library near my place had only a very limited collection of Tin Tin books and I had destination moon and the seven crystals balls read and re read. Not knowing what happened in the next one.
Finally , my mum found another library which had the entire set and surprised me with the Black Island and the Broken ear. To this day , I never remember being more excited than I was that day. Tin Tin formed a lovely part of my childhood.
I ain't really from it's generations ( i was born in the 2000's )
But my mum is the reason i got into tintin . one day she said : hey, do you wanna watch a film called tintin ?
Titin?
no tintin
Sure.
I loved the movie, then i found out that it was made of a book so the next day i went into the libary and took each one they had.
But see here in slovenia it took a little longer for the books to come so the forst time i actually read tintin and the guerillas (sorry about my spelling im slovenian) in 2011! It got here in 2011!
So yeah, tintin is great
My favourite is flight 714 for sidney
What about yours?
that's one of my favourites too, although my absolute favourites are probably the 'going to the Moon' ones. Also when he meets Haddock.
@@Yarblocosifilitico my fav is the Tibet mountain one
Red Sea sharks is my favourite.
@@biulaimh3097 owh, about red rackham treasure???
my favourite tintin book changes over time, once it was "coke en stock" (cokes in voorraad in Dutch) "red sea sharks" i think it's called in english but also le sceptre d'ottokar, le secret de la licorne and l'affaire tournesol were among my favourites.
also, in my language, Dutch, Tintin is called Kuifje (because of his hair, his quiff, kuif in Dutch "je" makes it a diminutive)
Born in 1998 I loved the series from the 90s and also the audiobooks (?) but in Swedish! Later I borrowed the books from the library and loved them too! Great documentary btw!
Always loved tintin or how we here in Flanders calms him : kuifje!
Greetings from Belgium
Again another gem ❤️. Love you perspective I am an English major and I have tintin in Tibet in my current semester. It enriched my knowledge and also it triggered my imagination. Thank you for creating quality content.
Tin Tin absolutely ROCKS, and Captain Hadddock...it is always warm reading them
I was born in 1991 and I love Tintin!
There is nothing like reading Tintin in its original French - the humour and cleverness of the dialogues is much more striking.
I own all the Tintin books from Lotus to Picaros and now I'm eyeing Cigars of the Pharaoh for my birthday :D
Well produced litte documentary on possibly the greatest comic book of all time. Always pleasant to watch something Tintin-related.
There is a lot of unofficial new Tintín adventures. But they are very hard to find because the are unleagal and made by other unknown cartoonists.
Some of them are great and others are less good.
One of the best new Tintín adventures are made by Yves Rodier who finished the album "The Alfa Art" and the Tintin pastiches and Harry Edwood.
There is a comic version of
" Titin and blue oranges" and and one of the latest adventures like "Tintín and the Weather Mystery".
It was pretty creative of the Documentary makers to insert audio from the 1990s animated "Tintin" series as well as inserting music from various recognizable movies (Ex. Indiana Jones). 😉
Tintin is the one comic book that is unknown here in The Philippines especially to the average Pinoy. First saw this comic book during a visit in HK and got interested in it.
Have a Collection off Herge's art work in Danish. Great books.🇩🇰🇺🇸📬🎨🖌️Gift of my dad,in my childhood.👀Love his dog.
I've heard Bobby, Minou and snowy. What's the Danish?
@@Treinbouwer Terry
My Dad Gave me my First Comic Book in 2006 : An Old Comic of his from his childhood which he had brought in 1982 titled "The Secret of Unicorn" and ever since that day I have been hooked to the adventures of this Young Reporter for Le Petit Vingtieme. That's the legacy of Tintin.
Exactly my story with same comic, except I was born in 85 and my father in 49 and gave it to me when I was seven. I became a radical tintin fan to this day
@@drunkensailor112 That is great. Really glad someone has a similar story. 😃🙌
I've travelled quite a bit since I was a child and, on more occasions than I can list, I've come across places and situations where I had a strong sense of déjà vu. It turns out I really had already seen those places - in Tintin books...
really enjoyed this in depth look at the creation of tintin.
Loved this documentary!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
.............Awesome.............tanx
YES OKG. FINALLY SUMN NEW ABOUT TINTIN 😭💕💕
Its truly amazing the breadth and depth of the female characters in Tintin. Its also amazing how I can't find any homoerotic undertones in any of the stories.
Great video
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Lovely documentary.
Very good job of showing the blatant racism of Hege's early work and how it evolved later on to repudiate some of those early mistakes.
Because that's what his entire life's work was about - was it? If this documentary didn't fall over itself to view Herge through the recent 'liberal' left lens it would have been just as entertaining without the political analysis.
If this had been made today ( ideologies move at such a pace!) we would be 'decoding' Tintin via a 'queer' lens, toxic masculinity, enlisting sensitivity writers etc etc.
The work speaks for itself: well crafted, well written and well received by the intended audience - for generations.
Amazing
Really good documentary...thank you
1:43 George Remi's Moon story was based on the 1950 Technicolor science fiction movie "" Destination Moon "" ! THis movie used paintings by Chesley Bonestell
Inherited a lot of Tintin comics from my late father. Thank God for his good taste. Rip
The Tintin comics were a nice part of my childhood, I have all the comics and whenever I find any on flea markets I buy them (along with many other comics) to make complete collections that I can resell for a higher price than if I had sold the individual.
My favorite will always be the "Secrets of the Unicorn" arc, i've always been a sucker for 17th century pirates and treasure hunting.
Still I remembered those day when I was 9 (1989).my father given me money for school tiffin but I never ate anything.just tintin book 📖 buy my rest of money.
I love this very much.
If I gonna be like tintin.huh!
The Rolling Stones in the background while you're seeing the Beatles, the only faux pas in this lovely documentary.
haha, I wasn't entirely sure, but I thought - I'm pretty sure that's not a Beetles song.
i remember looking through all these comics in french when i was young!
Grew up on the brilliant Artwork & story telling... even to this day 50 yrs on ... My all time favorite book 'The crab with the Golden Claws', which introduced the Brilliant & very funny Captain Haddock😘😘( 2023)
Awesome creation; awesome documentary
Perfect
0:58 a true fan right there
Herge never came to Iceland, still Iceland does appear on one page in the shooting star, they arrive in Akureyri to refill the ship with oil, and as an Icelander .... i can tell you, HE NAILED IT, our mountains, docks and everything!
That page was incredible honestly especially with haddock's old friend really carried the scene. The book is really good unfortunately it's overlooked because of the antagonist
Tin tin was my absolute favourite.
And still is.
Even in India herge's name is still quite not a kid i have met who doesn't know tintin & Hergé
I read my first album since 1964; “ seven crystal balls” ; and until today admire all Herge’s masterpieces. Eventually I find some deviant art which should be avoid to show. There are a lot of “specialists about Tintin”; but there is a lack of specialists about subtles of the drawings, the tiny modifications, the pleasure in open and read a album.
Great film !
Grew up in Srilanka. Tintin was my childhood
Interesting documentary because being French-speaking it allows me to see how Hergé is perceived by the English-speaking readership. I must say that I have a mixed
interest in Tintin; I read it very little. But I have a great respect for Hergé as a creator and I recognize his importance in the comic book history. I think it would have taken
over 45 minutes to paint a portrait of George Rémi but overall it looks fair. One observation, while it is true that Edgar P. Jacobs (at 35:56) helped Hergé, Bob De Moor was
an even greater contributor. De Moor was present at the Hergé studios in the years 50, 60 and 70. He can be seen at 35:20 of the documentary (the man with glasses with
the black tie). He was the designer which most imitated Hergé's style and was responsible for bringing more realism to the drawings (objects, environments, etc.) for a
long time. For example, it was De Moor who made the full-page drawing of the rocket (32:12). He also did the complete redrawing and revision of the book "The Black
Island" (1965).
A few years ago (1996) a very good biography came out about Hergé (by author Pierre Assouline). In it there was the shocking revelation that Hergé... didn’t really liked
kids!!
Great artist
I was introduced to Tintin when I was six. The Explorers on the Moon, in the year before the moon landings.
I fell into a deep slumber an Autoplay brought me here . Sweet Nostagia indeed tbh
Tintin are still my hero since my early teens- say hail to the cheif🦾🦾🦾🦾🏴☠️🌞🦾
America in the 20th century be like the fuck is a Tin Tin
💗💗💗💗
Tin-Tin is a god.
Enjoyable documentary, a few interesting commentaries
(Godwin needs to get off the gear though). Definitely worth a watch if, like me and millions of others, Tin-Tin was a key part of your childhood. 😁✌🏻
I'm curious, what are the names of Snowy, Calculus, Thompson in your language? In Spanish we have Milú, Tornasol, Hernández...
Estaba tratando de recordar como eran los nombres en español xD GRACIAS (y)
milo,calcules, thompson& thomson in one version(print)
in other version (print) snowy, tornosol, doponet
Al igual que con Asterix nunca recuerdo porque los he leído en inglés, en francés, en español, jajaja...
In German: Tim(Tintin) und Struppi (Snowy), Schulze und Schultze (Thomson and Thompson), Kapitän "Käpt'n" Haddock, Prof. Bienlein.
I'm Belgian but I come from the german speaking part of it. Hence the german names.
@@davgg9621 Thank you!!
Minute 27:52 Tintin in Peru😍😍😍😘 My favorite
The rocket in Tintin's Destination Moon has features (such as the landing pads on the ends of the wings) that look very much like the ones which are unique to the lunar rocket in the 1950 movie, DESTINATION MOON. And the gantry is very similar, along with some of the interior lay-outs. I'm surprised (or maybe not) that none of this is brought up in this documentary. Perhaps for good reason? DESTINATION MOON was one of the big boxoffice hits around the world in 1950, even won an Oscar. I'd be truly shocked if Herge had never seen or heard of it. Seems almost impossible to have missed it at the time.
Blistering barnacles, thank you!
Tintin is my favourite 😭❤️
I've always wondered the author's backstory.
It isn't widely known is that Tintin has an evil twin called Pootin (of Novichokia).
England? The Black Isle is set in Scotland, as you can clearly see in the panels shown.
The second part is, but the first part is in england
Hergé e Tin Tin are my youth
A Beautiful Mind Soundtrack / James Horner
Why didn't you talk about rastapopulous ! He is a huge part of Tintin till the end ! 😭
Tsk tsk how tragic that the main antagonist in the entire series isn't mentioned
26:00 No famous Belgians ? Pieter-Paul Rubens, René Magritte, Adolphe Sax, Jacques Brel and Georges Lemaitre (Big Bang theory) to name a few... Edgar P Jacobs & Georges Remi !
It is very difficult to judge a person's behaviour during wartime. Also easy to say what Hergé should have done. But we were not in his shoes. And not everybody is made of the stuff of heroes.
rip Herge sir.....
I have all the books including the book of the Lake of Sharks, two coloring books and the full DVD set for all the movies.
I WONDER how much more popular all those Tom Swift books might've been if the stories had appeared in illustrated books in the Herge style, or as comic books (that is, aside from the Big Little Books in which Tom Swift briefly appeared). Somehow I think Swift should've been nearly (or more?) popular as/than Tintin (nothing against Tintin, of course, which was great in and of itself, just think the Swift thing was a missed opportunity).
I have real all the tintin books and i still do :)

Spielberg needs to make more movies of the tales of tin tin.
No! He doesn't understand Tintin at all! Horrible movie, typically american. I couldn't even finish it.
@@Fibonacci64 that is quite insulting, you should know that his adaptation was appreciated by many people that even called the film reminiscent to Indiana jones
@@scoutart1508 But Tintin isn't Indiana Jones, and he even smashed two stories to one which doesn't make any sense. No, americans don't understand Tintin, it's european. I don't even think it's possible to make it to film, it's flat and has special style, colour and drama to the stories. People have tried before and failed.
@@Fibonacci64 seriously?😒 you should check out animat’s review on the film to know what you are thinking about
Spielberg got some rights due to Herge wanting him to have them in his will. Herge was meant to meet him in Paris before he dead but he dead the night before the arranged meeting. Fanny (Herge's second wife) went over instead and Spielberg agreed that all the money made from any films or productions would mostly go to organisation that help preserve Herge's legacy like the Herge Museum, Herge Foundation etc... also the deal was that when Spielberg dies the rights he has will be returned to the Herge Foundation and cannot be sold, pass down or exchanged before or after his death. It was a serious deal and Spielberg as a enthusiastic lover of the art agreed to the contract. And it'll stay like that. When I researched about it for my EPQ I found it a massive shock and a tragic story really. What could have been- the best director and the best cartoonist of the 20th century around a table in Paris. Magical that would have been!
Aztecs and Mayans in Perú??? Come on ,please!!!! I LOVE Tintín since chilhood ,but some people speaking here....ayayay amigos!!!
