A sequel directed by Jackson was announced in the wake of the film's release, but has since stalled in development hell. Composer John Williams was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Score and the film was nominated for six Saturn Awards, including Best Animated Film, Best Director for Spielberg and Best Music for Williams. It was the first motion-captured animated film (as well as the first non- Pixar animated film) to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film. It was a commercial success, grossing over $374 million against a budget of $135 million, making it Paramount's highest-grossing animated feature, and received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the stylized use of motion capture (particularly the faithful look to HergГ©'s works), visual effects, action scenes, performances and music, to which they compared one of Spielberg's previous works, Raiders of the Lost Ark. The film was released in the United Kingdom and other European countries on 26 October 2011 and in the United States on 21 December in Digital 3D and IMAX 3D formats. The world premiГЁre took place on 22 October 2011 in Brussels. The delay resulted in Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who had been originally cast as Tintin, departing from the project and being replaced by Bell. Filming was due to begin in October 2008 for a 2010 release, but the release was delayed to 2011 after Universal Pictures opted out of producing the film with Paramount Pictures, who provided $30 million in pre-production Sony Pictures replaced Universal as co-financer. Spielberg and HergГ© were admirers of each other's work the director acquired the film rights to The Adventures of Tintin following the author's death in 1983, and re-optioned them in 2002.

Sakharine has bribed the crew to revolt against the ship's master, drunken Captain Haddock, but Tintin, Snowy and Haddock escape, arriving in Morocco at the court of a sheikh, who also has a model of the Unicorn.

Sakharine should be so eager to buy it from him, resorting to murder and kidnapping Tintin - accompanied by his marvellous dog Snowy - to join him and his gang as they sail to Morocco on an old cargo ship. Having bought a model ship, the Unicorn, for a pound off a market stall Tintin is initially puzzled that the sinister Mr. Tintin and his friends discover directions to a sunken ship commanded by Captain Haddock's ancestor and go off on a treasure hunt.
