Filled with American voice actors :(
Also nice: The Adventures of Tintin by Belgian illustrator Hergé.
Some of the comics are rightly criticized for racial stereotyping and a romanticized view of colonialism, but this is hardly surprising as they date back to the 1930s. On the whole, the Adventures of Tintin are nevertheless a classic of comic art.
There are also several animated TV series. The best known is a French-Canadian co-production with 39 half-hour-episodes.
Early Tintin was produced by a far right fascist journal, that's why the early tintin used to be racist & pro-colonialism. Funnily enough, after the Nazi invasion of Belgium, the Nazis ordered the closing down of said journal, which forced / allowed the author to move to a different production, and make non-political comics (the political nature of the early comics were directions given by the fascist) journal
20th century Europe huh
I didn't know that. Thanks for the insights.
Is this why he was described as anti-Semitic when the film came out?
The Franco-Belgian comics scene has turned out so many timeless classics.
I was never really into DC and Marvel, except for some graphic novels like the Alan Moore books.
My dad has all of the ones that came out till 1980 or so, hardbound.
Belgium really has some awesome comics! I always thought a bunch of them were Dutch, as they were written in Flanders.
Was quite a funny moment when I figured out most of my favourites were Belgian.
I have never liked American cartoons, apart from some underground cartoons. So I don’t have problems with that.
I used to watch all of them with my brother when I was a child. Gotta give them a rewatch!
2000ad is still going!
Now these are the recommendations we need!
What would be a good streaming site alternative to Netflix to watch french cartoons like Tin Tin, Asterix with both english and french subs?
Damn I remember these fuckers.
No. No. No. Is Japan a legit alternative?
