The One and Only

The Secret of the Unicorn

Yesterday, I finished watching the 2011 movie The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. In my opinion, the film is very underrated. It starts off with a Hergé cameo appearance as a painter. The thing I like about this very scene is the original Tintin drawing that the artist makes, and when Hergé asks Tintin if he had ever drawn him before. Peter Jackson and Steven Speilberg also managed to put in three different Tintin books (The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn, and Red Rackham’s Treasure) The three parts are in different order though; it starts off as The Secret of the Unicorn, then The Crab with the Golden Claws (only a small part), and lastly Red Rackham’s Treasure (but with less characters than the book). The movie also has some twists, as the book has Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine as a minor character, but in the movie he is actually the main villain, not Allan Thompson like the books. The animation is amazing and looks just as if it is live action.

Rating: 4 out of 5.
