We have a very young Tintin Fan at home. She is 2 years old. She watched all the 21 episodes of The Adventures of Tintin. She says, “Tompson n’ Tompson” instead of Thompson and Thompson. She hides her face under the pillow if Snowy is in danger. She kisses and try to catch running Tintin and Snowy. She says, “Little… little doggy, puchkey doggy.” During her daily meals and before sleeping she wants to watch some specific part from three of the episodes.
1st. The Black Island, S01E11, Part 2, 1991:
She watches Ranko, the trainned gorilla attacked Tintin and Snowy, like she is present at the spot.
2nd. Tintin in Tibet, S02E07, Part 2, 1991:
In Tintin in Tibet she likes the story of Tintin rescuing his young Chinese friend Chang, and asks about the mysterious Yeti. She says, “Yeti is good, he gave buiscuites to Chang to survive. One day she wants to meet Yeti and say thanks for helping Chang.”
3rd. Tintin and the Picaros, S02E09, Part2,1991:
Surprisingly here what she understands in her age is bit interesting. She likes the Picaros and their political approach. She says to General Alcazar’s domineering wife “Yes, my doll”. She says, “Tompson n’ Tompson are good guys, so they don’t deserve to be executed.” During this episode, perhaps its better if no eye blink happen. She sat like a wax statue during this video.
Note: Particularly there are 21 episodes of The Adventures of Tintin out of 24 Books. It is surprising to say the creation of Hergé’s Tintin is such a beauty that from 2 years old to 100 years oldest, all will find the best interest. I personally read Tintin when I was a teenager and I cannot forget; six comics I had in my collection. I became fortunate to watch all 21 episodes because of my 2 years old daughter and her extrem interest found in watching and enjoying Tintin. She can tell all the names of The Adventures of Tintin characters just having a glance. Wish all the kids watch them and learn the fearless honesty of Tintin’s character. Long live Tintin, long live Hergé!
You can visit Tintin bookstore at Landmark, Orion Mall, Bangalore. You will get all the comics available there.
