"Les aventures de Tintin" Le crabe aux pinces d'or (1992)

English title: "The Adventures of Tintin" The Crab with the Golden Claws.
Synopsis: Tintin goes after some drug smugglers. He and his dog Milou board a ship where the drug is being transported inside crab meat cans. Tintin meets Captain Haddock for the first time; he is being used by the smugglers. Tintin, Milou and Haddock are kicked from the ship and chased by a plane. They manage to get on the plane and land on a desert. They are rescued and taken to a town which looks very much like Algiers. There, Tintin reencounters the smugglers and gets them arrested, with inestimable help from Dupont and Dupond, the twin detectives.
Appraisal: First two episodes of a TV series based on the comic book series by Hergé. This story (the ninth in the series) was first published as a comic book in 1941. Good entertainment; the animation is not bad yet could be better. Anyway, there are worse ways to waste one's time. I watched it dubbed in Portuguese.
