    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The "Market Artist" at the beginning bears the likeness of Hergé, creator of the "Tintin" comics. Furthermore, he draws Tintin's portrait in Hergé's style. Using Hergé's likeness is an homage to the artist's own private joke of incorporating the likenesses of friends and family in his Tintin comics. Humorously, the first lines of the film, as stated by the painter are: "Very nearly there, sir. I have to say, your face is familiar. Have I drawn you before?" Tintin, responds: "Occasionally."
    • Goofs
      The Unicorn model's salesman states that the model is 2 quid (2 pounds), but Tintin offers to buy it for 1 pound, which the salesman agrees to. However, this is set in 1930s Brussels, Belgium, and the Belgian currency at that time was Belgian Francs (until 2002, when Euros were introduced). Pounds are the British currency, and have never been accepted in other countries. Furthermore, pound coins were not introduced until 1971.
    • Quotes
      • Captain Haddock: I thought you were an optimist.
      • Tintin: You were wrong, weren't you? I'm a realist.
      • Captain Haddock: Ah, it's just another name for a quitter.
      • Tintin: You can call me what you like. Don't you get it? We failed.
      • Captain Haddock: Failed. There are plenty of others willing to call you a failure. A fool. A loser. A hopeless souse. Don't you ever say it of yourself. You send out the wrong signal, that is what people pick up. Don't you understand? You care about something, you fight for it. You hit a wall, you push through it. There's something you need to know about failure, Tintin. You can never let it defeat you.
    • Crazy credits
      The font used in the opening and ending credits is the font used in the Tintin comics.
