Movie Review: The Adventures of Tintin (2011) - PG

Young reporter Tintin obtains a model ship which contains part of the secret to the location of a sunken treasure.  On this search, he is accompanied by his dog snowy, and Captain Haddock.  They are helped by the bumbling detectives Thompson and Thomson, and pursued by Ivan Ivanovitch.

The search takes them halfway around the world, and there is a lot more adventure than you'd expect in an animated film.

The animation is superb, and it's easy to forget the characters are not real people.

The story is more complex than expected,  but not too much so for kids to enjoy.  My nephews, ages 11-14. really enjoyed it.

A very good, enjoyable family film.
