Hergé: What did he think of Tintin cartoons and films?

#1 · Posted: 8 Sep 2006 16:03

In the book Tintin: The Complete Companion there is not a single mention of the screen adaptations, so I would lke to know what Hergé thought of the live-action films and the Belvision cartoons - what were his views on The Lake of Sharks, for example?
Can anybody answer this?

That's probably because they aren't canon Tintin, and the book only dealt with the real deal.
I don't know his view on Lake of Sharks, but I heard he didn't like it much.
Other than that I don't know.

I presume he must have been at least satisfied with Tintin and the Golden Fleece since was he not consulted over the script? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

According to Harry Thompson's Tintin book, Hergé hated the Belvision cartoons.
Don't know for sure what he thought of the live-action films or Lake of Sharks, but I would bet he wasn't too keen on them either.
