4.0 out of 5 stars A trip down memory lane, 10 Jan 2007
By Kirsten Zara Naudé (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I saw this box set in the stores on special, I jumped for joy and excitement. For so long I have been trying to collect all the Tin Tin books and videos. And now here are all the episodes on DVD! My husband and I embarked on watching the DVD set, and I began to take a trip down memeory lane. However, much like the other reviewers mentioned, it did not seem as magical this time around. I remember my brother and I waking up early on Saturday mornings when we were younger and planting ourselves in front of the TV at 7:30am, waiting in anticipation for the next episode of the adventures of Tin-Tin. These DVDs probably capture the essence of the adventures of tin-Tin, but alot of what I can remember, especially regarding characters antics, have been ommitted. I dont know whether that is to keep the episodes shorter, or whether it is due to political correctness. The books, I'd say, probably have a more valid representation of what Hergé had in mind. However, it is a definite must for your DVD set and for those rainy days when you want to sit, veg and watch something besides the reality crap on TV these days. Tin-Tin and his friends are still an absolute favourite of mine, and this DVD set has been a very valuable find!

4.0 out of 5 stars Is this the Tintin you remember?, 13 Jan 2006
By Dr D. H. (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
The Tintin boxed set is without doubt absoutely fantastic value and very well animated by the traditional process, but if you're looking for the nostalgia of rewatching what you remember from the 70s then you may be left wondering whether it is or isn't the same series. The answer is that it isn't, and has been remade with stories that are more true to the books than the Belvision ones, but I do miss the accents of the characters that I remember as a kid. The Thomsons in particular sound rather loutish compared to their previous "upper class twit" accents of before. Enjoyable nevertheless.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Value, 7 Jun 2004
By A Customer
All the stories. The visuals are excellent and capture the essence of the original books. The soundtrack, however, has new voices from the ones I remember - gone is Captain Haddock's strong Scottish accent and Thompson and Thonson now come from the east end - didn't they used to be posh? The DVD does, however, offer a French language soundtrack so you can always listen to that instead and brush-up on your French at the same time!
