Harrock n roll:

If something is 'underground' (culturally) it doesn't mean that it is "dark" (by which I assume we're meaning sombre, sinister, non-cheerful, etc...). But it's probably true that "dark" things are more likely to be underground.

Well, when I hear the word "underground" I usually associate it to.. erm, something like metal(and some of its variations like death metal) fandom and following, and other things usually deemed disturbing by general society(definitely not enjoyed by many people, but not just because of popularity reason among general public). I got what you mean Harrock, it's just that to most people (or at least to me), underground is usually associated with things I previously mentioned.

Sorry if I made the work "dark" rather ambiguous, along with "general public" and other words you might find ambiguous later on (perhaps I should have stopped posting in midnight :s).

Blistring_Barnacles:

What bugs me is when people don't know about Hergè and think that Tintin is a new thing. (Or they get him mixed up with Rin Tin Tin. Arrgghh.)

This is the pretty much only thing I have against the film.
Great cartoon!
