#THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN 2011 SERIES#
Spielberg acquired rights to produce a film based on The Adventures of Tintin series following Hergé's death in 1983, and re-optioned them in 2002. The cast includes Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. Directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Peter Jackson, and written by Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, the film is based on three of Hergé's albums: The Crab with the Golden Claws (1941), The Secret of the Unicorn (1943), and Red Rackham's Treasure (1944). Production The Adventures of Tintin, known as The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn outside North America, is a 2011 American 3D motion capture computer-animated epic adventure film based on The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé.Two vehicles are missing: a truck which was crushed by a crate during the Phantom II scene, and a tank which smashes through an entire hotel. Maxman wrote Then what about the RHD Triumph TR2? That's only cause the TR2 was British. Perhaps the French dub will change everything back. I'd guess that they followed the english books when they made this film. In that scene with the Triumph they are looking for the mansion. In the english translation of the books the mansion Le château de Moulinsart is located in England and called Marlinspike Hall. For example, my old man owned an Austin Mini in the late 1970s, which was originally British-registered and RHD. Every carmaker at the time dreamed of selling cars in the USA and did everything they could to adapt them for that market.Īnd it could also be an import. When it comes to USA, however, things are a lot different. However, I think that British and Italian cars of the era (especially sports cars and luxury sedans) usually kept their RHD configuration as converting RHD into LHD between European countries wasn't as big at the time as it is now (I think). I don't have a good answer to that, but my remaining evidence appears to be overwhelming. The fact that they use pounds is to make it more understandable for English-language viewers, young children in particular - by using the currency that they're familiar with. The architecture does not match the way it is in London, it's more reminiscent with how it is in Benelux and surrounding areas. The licence plates seen on the vehicles are definitely modeled after Belgian ones, they look nowhere near like British ones of the era. Obviously not London, the cars drive on the right and have LHD, exactly the opposite from London. I was really impressed!!! Me, too!Ītom wrote London? I thought Tintin lived in Belgium? I thought Tintin lived in Belgium?ĭynaMike wrote I've been to the cinema to watch this movie, this afternoon. Well, every plate that's visible seems to be pre-1951 Belgian, even the Morris'. London? I thought Tintin lived in Belgium?
Sure are a lot of Citroëns for scenes set in London. Replaced with Real HD pictures 1280x544, add some missing vehicles.
#THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN 2011 MOVIE#
It seemed like a T-44.Īs far as the movie goes, it's primarily geared towards kids, so it naturally it will have its silly moments. There was an obvious post-war tank at one point. I've been to the cinema to watch this movie, this afternoon. No, it's only the best movie to come out this year. Is it worth to watch? I've read, that the original books and early animated movies shall be better, not that heart- and soulless as this new movie.
