The Adventures of Tintin (known as The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn outside North America[5]) is a 2011 American 3D motion capture computer-animated adventure film based on The Adventures of Tintin, a series of comic books created by Belgian artist Hergé (Georges Remi). 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 the original comic books: The Crab with the Golden Claws (1941), The Secret of the Unicorn (1943), and Red Rackham's Treasure (1944).[6] It is the first-ever animated film for both Spielberg and his longtime collaborator, composer John Williams.

Spielberg acquired rights to produce a film based upon the Adventures of Tintin series following Hergé's death in 1983, and re-optioned them in 2002. Filming was due to begin in October 2008 for a 2010 release, but release was delayed to 2011 after Universal opted out of producing the film with Paramount, who provided $30 million on pre-production. Sony chose to co-produce the films. The delay resulted in Thomas Sangster, who had been cast as Tintin, departing from the project. Producer Peter Jackson, whose company Weta Digital provided the computer animation, intends to direct a sequel. Spielberg and Jackson also hope to co-direct a third film.[7]

The world première took place on October 22, 2011 in Brussels.[8] The film was released in the UK and some other European countries on October 26, 2011, and in the USA on December 21, 2011, in Digital 3D and IMAX.[9]

The film received generally positive reviews from critics,[10] and became a box office success with a worldwide gross of over $373 million.[4] The Adventures of Tintin also won the award for Best Animated Feature Film at the Golden Globe Awards that year,[11] becoming the first non-Pixar film to win the award since the category was first introduced.[12][13] Williams was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Score. It is currently nominated for five Saturn Awards, including Best Animated Film, Best Director for Spielberg and Best Music for Williams.[14]

Plot

Tintin (Jamie Bell), a young journalist, and his dog Snowy are browsing in an outdoor market in a European town (scene starts off with a cameo of Hergé doing Tintin's portrait). Tintin buys a model of a three-masted sailing ship, the Unicorn, on the cheap, but is then immediately accosted by the sinister Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine (Daniel Craig), and the mysterious figure of Barnaby (Joe Starr), who both try to buy the model from Tintin, without success. Tintin takes the ship home, but it is broken during a fight between Snowy and a neighbour's cat. As it breaks, a parchment scroll slips out of the ship's mast. Snowy spots it but is unable to alert Tintin. Meanwhile, incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson (Nick Frost and Simon Pegg) are on the trail of a pickpocket, Aristides Silk (Toby Jones). Tintin visits Sakharine in Marlinspike Hall, where he learns that there are at least two model ships. Tintin puts the scroll in his wallet, only to have it (his wallet) stolen by a pickpocket.

Later, Tintin is shot at, then abducted by accomplices of Sakharine, and imprisoned on the SS Karaboudjan. On board, Tintin escapes and meets the ship's nominal captain, Haddock (Andy Serkis). Haddock has been supplied with whisky by first mate Allan (Daniel Mays), who is working for Sakharine, and the captain is permanently drunk, and doesn't know what's happening on board his ship. Tintin and Haddock (and Snowy) eventually escape from the Karaboudjan in a lifeboat. Sakharine sends a seaplane to find them, but Tintin is able to capture the plane, and fly towards the (fictitious) Moroccan port of Bagghar, but they crash in the desert.

Dehydrated in the heat, and suffering from a sudden lack of alcohol, Haddock hallucinates, and starts to remember stories about his ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock (Andy Serkis), who was captain of the Unicorn during the 17th century. Sir Francis' treasure-laden ship was attacked by a pirate ship, led by the masked Red Rackham (Daniel Craig), and, after a fierce battle and eventual surrender, Sir Francis chose to sink the Unicorn, and most of the treasure, rather than allow it to fall into Rackham's hands. It transpires that there were three models of the Unicorn, each containing a scroll. Together, the scrolls will reveal the location of the sunken Unicorn, and its treasure.

In Bagghar, Tintin and the Captain find out that the third model ship is in the possession of the wealthy Omar Ben Salaad (Gad Elmaleh), but it is encased in a bullet-proof glass display case. Sakharine's plan is to stage a concert involving famous diva Bianca Castafiore (Kim Stengel), the "Milanese nightingale", whose penetrating singing voice will be able to shatter the glass case, allowing Sakharine's trained hawk to fly down and steal the third scroll. After a chase down to the harbour, pursued by Tintin and Haddock, Sakharine finally escapes with all three scrolls. Tintin chases him back to Europe and arranges a police reception for him on the dockside. Haddock and Sakharine, who is revealed to be the descendant of Red Rackham, replay their ancestors' swashbuckling sword fight, using dockside cranes, swords, and even bottles of whisky. Haddock is eventually victorious and Sakharine is promptly arrested by Thomson and Thompson.

With the three scrolls in their possession, Tintin and Haddock find that the indicated location is Marlinspike Hall, and that the hall had been built originally by Sir Francis Haddock. There, in the cellar, they find some of the treasure, and a clue to the location of the sunken Unicorn. Both men agree to continue the adventure.

Cast

  • Jamie Bell as Tintin.[15] Bell replaced Thomas Sangster, who dropped out when filming was delayed in October 2008.[16] Jackson suggested Bell take on the role, having cast him as Jimmy in his King Kong remake.[17]
  • Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock and Sir Francis Haddock[18]. Serkis played Gollum in Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and King Kong in the 2005 remake, which were both roles requiring motion capture. Serkis joked he was concerned that Jackson wanted him to play Tintin's dog Snowy,[19] who was animated traditionally, i.e., without motion capture.[7] Serkis remarked upon reading the comics again for the role that they had a surreal Pythonesque quality.[20]
  • Daniel Craig as Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine and Red Rackham, Sakharine being the descendant of Red Rackham, the pirate who attacked the Unicorn, the ship captained by Sir Francis Haddock.[15] Craig collaborated with Spielberg on Munich, Toby Jones in Infamous and Bell in Defiance.
  • Nick Frost and Simon Pegg as Thomson and Thompson, bumbling detectives who are almost identical. Spielberg invited Pegg to the set and offered him the role after he had completed How to Lose Friends & Alienate People.[21] Pegg also starred alongside Serkis in John Landis' Burke & Hare, released in autumn 2010.
  • Enn Reitel as Nestor, Captain Haddock's butler.
  • Tony Curran as Lieutenant Delacourt, an ally of Tintin.[22]
  • Toby Jones plays Aristides Silk, a pickpocket.[18][23]
  • Gad Elmaleh as Omar Ben Salaad.[18]
  • Mackenzie Crook and Daniel Mays play Tom and Allan, smugglers aboard the Karaboudjan.[24]
  • Kim Stengel as Bianca Castafiore[25]
  • Joe Starr as Barnaby, an FBI agent who tries to warn Tintin about purchasing the Unicorn and winds up shot by Sakharine's thugs.
  • Sonje Fortag as Mrs Finch.
  • Cary Elwes and Phillip Rhys appear as seaplane pilots.
  • Ron Bottitta as Unicorn Lookout.
  • Mark Ivanir as Afgar Outpost Soldier/Secretary [26]
  • Sebastian Roché as Pedro/1st Mate [27]
  • Sana Etoile as Press Reporter [28]

Production

Spielberg had been an avid fan of The Adventures of Tintin comic books, which he discovered in 1981 when a review compared Raiders of the Lost Ark to Tintin. His secretary bought him French-language editions of each book, but Spielberg did not have to understand them: he immediately fell in love with its art.[7] Meanwhile, the comics' creator Hergé, who didn't like the previous live action film versions and the cartoon, became a fan of Spielberg. Michael Farr, author of Tintin: The Complete Companion, recalled Hergé "thought Spielberg was the only person who could ever do Tintin justice".[29] Spielberg and his production partner Kathleen Kennedy of Amblin Entertainment were scheduled to meet with Hergé in 1983 while filming Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in London. Hergé died that week, but his widow decided to give them the rights.[7] A three-year long option to film the comics was finalized in 1984,[29] with Universal as distributor.[30]

Spielberg commissioned E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial writer Melissa Mathison to script a film where Tintin battles ivory hunters in Africa.[29] Spielberg saw Tintin as "Indiana Jones for kids" and wanted Jack Nicholson to play Haddock.[31] Unsatisfied with the script, Spielberg continued with production on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The rights returned to the Hergé Foundation. Claude Berri and Roman Polanski became interested in filming the property, while Warner Bros. negotiated long and hard for the rights, but they could not guarantee the "creative integrity" that the Foundation found in Spielberg.[29] In 2001, Spielberg revealed his interest in depicting Tintin with computer animation.[32] In November 2002, his studio DreamWorks reestablished the option to film the series.[33] Spielberg said he would just produce the film.[34] In 2004, the French magazine Capital reported Spielberg was intending a trilogy based on Secret of the Unicorn / Red Rackham's Treasure, The Seven Crystal Balls / Prisoners of the Sun and The Blue Lotus / Tintin in Tibet (which are not a single story, but both feature the Chang Chong-Chen character).[35] By then, Spielberg had reverted to his idea of a live-action adaptation, and called Peter Jackson to ask if Weta Digital would create a computer-generated Snowy.[6]

We're making them look photorealistic; the fibres of their clothing, the pores of their skin and each individual hair. They look exactly like real people – but real Herge people!

Peter Jackson explains the film's look[36]

Jackson, a longtime fan of the comics,[37] had used motion capture in The Lord of the Rings and King Kong. He suggested that a live action adaptation would not do justice to the comic books and motion capture was the best way of representing Hergé's world of Tintin.[6] A week of filming took place in November 2006 in Playa Vista, Los Angeles, California, on the stage where James Cameron shot Avatar.[38] Andy Serkis had been cast, while Jackson stood in for Tintin.[20] Cameron and Robert Zemeckis were present during the shoot.[6] The footage was transmitted to Weta Digital,[38] who produced a twenty-minute test reel that demonstrated a photorealistic depiction of the characters.[36] Spielberg said he would not mind filming it digitally because he saw it as an animated film, and reiterated his live action work would always be filmed traditionally.[39]

An official announcement about the collaboration was made in May 2007, although both filmmakers had to wait to film it: Spielberg was preparing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Jackson was planning The Lovely Bones.[36] In October 2007, Steven Moffat was announced as having signed on to write the screenplays for two of the Tintin films.[40] Moffat said he was "love bombed" by Spielberg into accepting the offer to write the films, with the director promising to shield him from studio interference with his writing.[41] Moffat finished the first script,[42] but could not complete the second because of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. He then became executive producer of Doctor Who, leading Spielberg and Jackson (the latter of whom is a fan of the show) to allow him to leave and fulfil his duty to the series.[43] Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish rewrote the script.[15]

More filming took place in March 2008.[20] But in August 2008, a month before principal photography would have begun, Universal turned down their option to co-produce the film, citing the low box office of Monster House and Beowulf as well as the directors' usual request for 30% of the gross. Paramount Pictures (DreamWorks' distributor) had hoped to partner with Universal on the project having spent $30 million on pre-production. Spielberg gave a ten-minute presentation of footage, hoping they would approve filming to begin in October. Paramount offered to produce if the directors opted out of their gross percentage deals: Spielberg and Jackson declined,[16][30] and negotiated with Sony to co-finance and distribute the first film by the end of October.[44][45][46] Sony only agreed to finance two films, though Jackson said a third film may still happen.[6]

Filming began on January 26, 2009, and the release date was moved from 2010 to 2011.[15] Spielberg finished his film – after 32 days of shooting – in March 2009. Jackson was present for the first week of filming and supervised the rest of the shoot via a bespoke videoconferencing program.[37] Simon Pegg said Jackson's voice would "be coming over the Tannoy like God."[47] During filming, various directors including Guillermo del Toro, Stephen Daldry and David Fincher visited. Spielberg would try to treat the film like live-action, moving his camera around.[6] He revealed, "Every movie I made, up until Tintin, I always kept one eye closed when I've been framing a shot," because he wanted to see the movie in 2-D, the way viewers would. "On Tintin, I have both of my eyes open."[48] Jackson took the hands-on approach to directing Weta Digital during post-production, which Spielberg supervised through video conferencing. Jackson will also begin development for the second film for which he will be officially credited as director.[17] Spielberg says "there will be no cell phones, no TV sets, no modern cars. Just timeless Europe."[49] His cinematographer Janusz Kamiński serves as lighting consultant for Weta, and Jackson said the film will look "film noirish, very atmospheric." Spielberg finished six weeks of additional motion-capture filming in mid-July 2009.[6][50]

To improve the quality of the indoor lighting nuances, Weta Digital and NVIDIA developed a ray tracing software called PantaRay, which required 100 to 1000 times more computation than traditional shadow-map based solutions.[51]

Release

Steven Spielberg at the film's premiere in Paris, 22 October 2011.

The first press-screening was held in Belgium on October 10, 2011.[54] The world première was held in Brussels, Belgium on October 22, 2011, with the Paris première later the same day.[55] Sony released the film during late October and early November 2011 in Europe, Latin America, and India. The film was released in Quebec on December 9, 2011.[56] Paramount distributed the film in Asia, New Zealand, the U.K., and all other English-speaking territories. They released the film in the United States on December 21, 2011.[57][58] Spielberg hopes that thereby there will be a word-of-mouth effect coming from Europe - where Tintin has always been a huge success - that will attract the American audience, which is unfamiliar with Tintin.[59]

Reception

Critical reception

The Adventures of Tintin received generally positive reviews from critics. The film currently scores a 75% "Certified Fresh" approval rating on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. The site's critical consensus is "Drawing deep from the classic Raiders of the Lost Ark playbook, Steven Spielberg has crafted another spirited, thrilling adventure in the form of Tintin."[10] At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film received an average score of 68, based on 40 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[60]

Belgian newspaper Le Soir's film critics Daniel Couvreur and Nicolas Crousse called the film "a great popular adventure movie," stating "[the film's] enthusiasm and childhood spirit are unreservedly infectious."[61]

Colin Covert of Star Tribune gave the film 4 out of 4 stars and said that Spielberg's first venture into animation was his most delightful dose of pure entertainment since Raiders of the Lost Ark.[62]

Amy Biancolli of San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "Such are the timeless joys of the books (and now the movie), this sparkling absurdity and knack for buckling swash under the worst of circumstances. The boy may have the world's strangest cowlick, but he sure can roll with the punches."[63]

Roger Ebert, writing for Chicago Sun-Times, labeled the film as "an ambitious and lively caper, miles smarter than your average 3-D family film." He praised the setting of the film, stating its similarity to the original Tintin comic strips, and seemed to enjoy Spielberg's interpretation of Tintin. He was also pleased with the 3-D used in the film, saying that Spielberg employed it as an enhancement to 2-D instead of an attention-grabbing gimmick. He did express surprise at how much he enjoyed the movie, and gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars.[64]

Kenneth Turan of Los Angeles Times said, "Think of "The Adventures of Tintin" as a song of innocence and experience, able to combine a sweet sense of childlike wonder and pureness of heart with the most worldly and sophisticated of modern technology. More than anything, it's just a whole lot of fun."[65]

Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter was also very positive about the film, describing it as "a good ol' fashioned adventure flick that harkens back to the filmmaker's action-packed, tongue-in-cheek swashbucklers of the 1980s. Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is a visually dazzling adaptation." Comparing it to another film, Mintzer said Tintin has "an altogether more successful mocap experience than earlier efforts like The Polar Express."[66]

Le Figaro praised the film "[which is] crammed with action, humor and suspense."[67]

Leslie Felperin of Variety wrote, "Clearly rejuvenated by his collaboration with producer Peter Jackson, and blessed with a smart script and the best craftsmanship money can buy, Spielberg has fashioned a whiz-bang thrill ride that's largely faithful to the wholesome spirit of his source but still appealing to younger, Tintin-challenged auds."[68]

The film was named in New York magazine's David Edelstein's Top 10 List for 2011.[69] It was also included in HitFix's top 10 films of 2011.[70]

La Libre Belgique was, however, a little less enthusiastic, its film critic Alain Lorfèvre calling the film "a technical success, [with] a Tintin vivid as it should be [and] a somewhat excessive Haddock."[54]

The Guardian's Xan Brooks gave the film two stars out of five, stating: "while the big set pieces are often exuberantly handled, the human details are sorely wanting. How curious that Hergé achieved more expression with his use of ink-spot eyes and humble line drawings than a bank of computers and an army of animators were able to achieve."[71]

Blog Critics writer Ross Miller said, "author Hergé's wonderfully bold and diverse array of characters are a mixed bag when it comes to how they've been translated to the big-screen" and that while the mystery might be "perfectly serviceable" for the film, "the execution of it at times feels languid and stodgy, like it's stumbling along from one eye-catching setpiece to the next." However, he summed it up as, "an enjoyable watch with some spectacular set-pieces, lavish visuals and some fine motion-capture performances."[72]

The author of a study of the Tintin books described Hollywood's treatment in this film of its characters and stories as "truly execrable," especially in the way it ignores the books' key idea of inauthenticity. The themes of fakeness and phoniness and counterfeit that drive many of the original plots are replaced in the film with messages that feel "as though we have wandered into a seminar on monetisation through self-empowerment ... It's like making a biopic of Nietzsche that depicts him as a born-again Christian, or of Gandhi as a trigger-happy Rambo blasting his way through the Raj."[73]

Steve Rose from The Guardian wrote about one of the movie's major criticisms: that The Adventures of Tintin, much like The Polar Express, crossed into the uncanny valley, thereby rendering Tintin "too human and not human at all."[74]

Manohla Dargis, one of the chief critics of the New York Times, called the movie "a marvel of gee-wizardry and a night’s entertainment that can feel like a lifetime." The simplicity of the comic strip, she wrote, is a crucial part of the success of Tintin, who is "an avatar for armchair adventurers." Dargis noted that Tintin's appearance in the film "resembled Hergé's creation, yet was eerily different as if, like Pinocchio, his transformation into human form had been prematurely interrupted." Another major fault in the film, Dargis points out, is how it is so wildly overworked; she writes that there is "hardly a moment of downtime, a chance to catch your breath or contemplate the tension between the animated Expressionism and the photo-realist flourishes." Nevertheless, she singles out some of the "interludes of cinematic delight," approving of the visual imagination employed within the movie's numerous exciting scenes.[75]

Box office

The film grossed $77,591,831 in North America and $296,402,120, in other territories, for a worldwide total of $373,993,951.[4]

On its first day, the film opened in the UK, France and Belgium, earning $8.6 million. In Belgium, Tintin's country of origin, the film made $520,000, while France provided $4.6 million, a number higher than other similar Wednesday debuts.[76] In France, it was the second best debut of the year for its first day after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.[77] On its first weekend it topped the overseas box office with $56.2 million from 21 countries.[78] In Belgium, it earned $1.99 million. It also earned the top spot in many major markets like France and the Maghreb region ($21 million), where it set a record opening weekend for an animated title, the UK, Ireland and Malta ($10.9 million), Germany ($4.71 million) and Spain ($3.75 million).[79][80][81] It retained first place for a second-consecutive and final weekend, earning $39.0 million from 45 territories.[82] In its native Belgium it was up 20% to $2.39 million, while in France it plummeted 61% to $8.42 million. Its biggest debut was in Russia and the CIS ($4.81 million).[83][84]

The movie grossed 7.5 crore (US$1.5 million) on its opening weekend (November 11–13, 2011) in India, an all-time record opening for a Steven Spielberg film and for an animated feature in India. The movie was released with 351 prints, the largest ever release for an animated film.[85][86][87] In four weeks, it became the highest-grossing animated film of all time in the country with 25.4 crore (US$5.07 million).[88]

Home media

The film was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and DVD + Blu-ray + Digital Copy combo packs on March 13, 2012.[111]

Possible sequels

Depending on the film's success, two more Tintin movies could be produced. The first of these was originally planned to be based on The Seven Crystal Balls and Prisoners of the Sun,[112] however screenwriter Anthony Horowitz has since called this into question, suggesting these films would be the second sequel and another story would become the first sequel.[113]

Peter Jackson also confirmed he will direct it once he has finished The Hobbit.[112] On July 27th, 2009, Jackson stated that his favourite Tintin stories were The Seven Crystal Balls, Prisoners of the Sun, The Black Island and The Calculus Affair, but clarified that he had not yet decided which stories would form the basis of the second film. Jackson stated that it "would be great" to use Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon as the basis for the third or fourth film in the series.[114]

In December 2011, Spielberg confirmed a sequel to his 3D movie will be made and said the book to adapt had been chosen.[115] He explained the Thompson detectives will "have a much bigger role". The sequel will be produced by Spielberg and directed by Jackson.[115] Kathleen Kennedy said the script might be done by February or March 2012 and motion-captured in summer 2012, so that the movie will be on track to be released on either Christmas 2014 or summer 2015.[116]

In February 2012, Spielberg revealed to Total Film that they had completed a story outline for the sequel. He also said that the film will be based on two books.[117]

In May 2012, Horowitz tweeted that Professor Calculus may be introduced in the sequel.[118][119]

Differences from the source material

The film mainly draws its story from The Secret of the Unicorn (1943) and The Crab with the Golden Claws (1941), and only a little bit of Red Rackham's Treasure (1944).

There are several differences from the source material. Notably, Ivan Sakharine in the comic strip is a minor character, neither an antagonist nor the descendant of Red Rackham. The main villains of the story are instead the Bird brothers, absent from the film adaptation (save for a small "cameo" in the initial sequence at the market).

Video game

A video game entitled The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn - developed by game developer Ubisoft[120] has been released to coincide with the release date of the film.

Gameloft released a game for iOS devices to coincide with the film's European launch.[121]
