KING OTTOKAR'S SCEPTER is another fun two-part episode of THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN TV series. This one has everything exactly as you'd expect from the show: lots of basic hand-drawn animation that looks and feels somewhat endearing; lovable antics involving the irresistible Tintin and his erstwhile companion Snowy; pratfalls from the bumbling Thompson Twins; a fast-paced story that swaps countries at regular intervals; lots of transport and travelling about; and a nefarious criminal gang with murder in mind.
This time around Tintin literally stumbles into action when he discovers satchel on a park bench and decides to return it to its owner. Soon enough he's involved in a plot to steal a priceless royal relic and he must rely on his wits to outwit his foes. While KING OTTOKAR'S SCEPTER has nothing outstanding it to distinguish it from any of the other stories in this show, it's nonetheless a lively and fun-filled adventure.
