The Adventures of Tintin is widely regarded as a classic of comic art, but some issues are rightly criticized for racial stereotyping and a romanticized view of colonialism. This is hardly surprising, however, as the series dates back to the 1930s.
There are also several animated television series. The best known is a French-Canadian co-production with 39 half-hour episodes.
You want to really hit the Americans here. Roll back the copy right to a reasonable period. Are all Disney cartoons copyright free.
There are lots of amazing comics from europe.
Shameless plug for: !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
Beside Tintin I especially like the adventures of Spirou & Fantasio

Yes, that’s true. Especially in the French-speaking parts of Europe with Hergé, André Franquin, Albert Uderzo, Moebius, Peyo, Edgar P. Jacobs, Pierre Christin, Jean-Claude Mézières and many others.
I might post a few more to this community sometime.
I also love Benoît Sokal’s Inspector Canardo comics.
Thanks for sharing this. Subscribed. 👍🏻
While I’m a fan of Tintin (and Asterix, Valerian, and others), I don’t think “Hey, this century old European comic is good!” is sending the message that OP thinks it is.
ha, I came here to shout them out, nice!
I have heard in the internet this comic is full of racist things. How much truth is there in it?
It is a product of its time and occasionally filled with pretty racist themes. It’s also very good.
Not that racist at all
The animated series is amazing! Good for all ages, as far as i’m concerned.
I agree! It’s one of my all time greats. Also it aged so well.
Fun fact, I’ve got the dog tattooed on me
Edit: I especially meant the style aged well I do know about the first comics being very racist
i don’t care what anyone says, i loved the 2011 movie. 💗
I also loved it!
The Wikipedia article section on the proposed sequels is a wild ride, but it ends on a hopeful note:
In June 2024, Serkis stated that Jackson was working on the sequel¹⁴⁰
I never played them, but I’ve seen a few YouTubers play the games. They look pretty fun as well.
Back in my days I use to record them on VHS and watch them again when there was nothing interesting on TV (that is, 90% of the time). I finished knowing by heart any single lines if dialogs. Yeah, I was that weirdo creep at school.
Except for “Les cigares du pharaon”, where I didn’t record the good channel 😟. I passed my whole childhood with that hole in the story.
Yes! Grew up watching this show. So so good.
There was a show?!
edit: Actually read the post. TIL there was a show. Nice.
My local library has probably close to the full run of these so I read most all of them growing up and while they are a product of their time I have such good memories of them.
Same here
Pretty sure every American brand is considering their position. That includes mighty disney.
