Storyline:
Having bought a model ship, the Unicorn, for a pound off a market stall
Tintin is initially puzzled that the sinister Mr. Sakharine should be so
eager to buy it from him, resorting to murder and kidnapping Tintin -
accompanied by his marvellous dog Snowy - to join him and his gang as
they sail to Morocco on an old cargo ship. Sakharine has bribed the crew
to revolt against the ship's master, drunken Captain Haddock, but
Tintin, Snowy and Haddock escape, arriving in Morocco at the court of a
sheikh, who also has a model of the Unicorn. Haddock tells Tintin that
over three hundred years earlier his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock was
forced to scuttle the original Unicorn when attacked by a piratical
forebear of Sakharine but he managed to save his treasure and provide
clues to its location in three separate scrolls, all of which were
secreted in models of the Unicorn. Tintin and Sakharine...
Review:
I finally watched "The adventures of Tintin", and I must say I'm sorry I haven't seen it before. In short it is fun, with a nice story, excellent animation, good performance by the actors who gave the voices to the characters. It's a film you must watch. Don't know what else to say about it.
Rating: 7/10
