Age-By-Age Guide
Animation | Action Adventure
After buying an old model ship, young investigative reporter Tintin (voice of Jamie Bell) finds himself in the midst of an ancient mystery, circling the globe with his loyal dog, Snowy, to find answers--and great treasure.

Created in 1929 by Belgian artist Hergé, "The Adventures of Tintin" series has been beloved by generations of young readers--including Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, whose admiration comes through in every detail of this loving film adaptation. Through a visual feast of larger-than-life 3D stop-motion animation, they make it easier than ever for aspiring adventurers to live vicariously through the tenacious Tintin from the safety of their own cushy seat.
Baby (0-2)
No This movie is intended for older children.
Preschool (3-5)
No This movie is intended for older children.
Kids (6-9)
Maybe The story may be too confusing for younger children, although those who have read the comic books will be thrilled to see their favorite characters onscreen. Kids will be enthralled with Snowy, who, in his own inimitable way, often saves the day!
Tweens (10-12)
Yes The movie's got an old-fashioned--swashbuckling!--appeal with dazzling, ultra-modern effects. Tweens will appreciate the messages, "You care about something, you fight for it." and "Never let failure stop you," especially as they see Tintin live and succeed by them.
