Storyline
Tintin
(voice of Jamie Bell) gets his picture painted in the city square, while Snowy,
Tintin’s dog, notices a pickpocket, known as Silk (voice by Toby Jones), and
tries to see what is going on. When the painter, known as the market artist
(voice by Nathan Meister), is finished he gives Tintin a look at the painting.
Tintin is satisfied and finds that his dog, Snowy, is not by his side. He takes
the painting, pays the artist, starts to look for his dog, calls and calls, and
Snowy comes running. Tintin notices a model ship in the reflection of a mirror
stand and decides to buy it. A man named Sakharine (voice by Daniel Craig) wants
to buy the ship from Tintin. Tintin says the ship is not for sale and takes it
home to put on his desk. The adventure is off and running with scenes that
include a ransacked apartment; a lost, found, and stolen scroll; mutiny at high
sea; dangerous Moroccan ports; a treasure hunt; and a satisfying resolution of
the story.
