Ooh I'm sorry, I had no idea. Many thanks!

I think the theme music of the tv series really epitomises Tintin and the nature of his adventures. I hope they do something similar, although full orchestra, for the movies.

I've heard both versions of the theme tune, but if I had to choose a favourite I'd opt for the TV version. I suppose the orchestral one is technically more accomplished (it's used on the remastered French DVDs) but I'll always have a soft spot for the original- fond memories of watching the cartoon when I was a child!

Do the remastered DVDs realy sound any better? If so, I would like to own them.

I haven't seen the DVDs, although there's a German TV advert on a popular video-sharing website that uses the remastered footage. I'm not sure whether I can link to it, but it's been uploaded by the channel itself, KinoweltTV.

The picture is cropped to 16:9 but the quality itself is a significant improvement, being considerably clearer. Don't know about the sound on the DVDs as the advert's a German dub, but I seem to recall the remasters only having a French 5.1 soundtrack.

Yes, I’ve heard the symphonic version, there seemed to be bits added into the music that I didn’t recall hearing before. Maybe it was on the French dub which, includes a lot more music and background noise and a bit more dialogue from other characters. Also Ray Parker jnr was the composer - is this the same guy who sang Ghostbusters?
