I'm not surprised tbh. Hergé was a far-right, fascist anti-communist. His excuse later for the animal cruelty and racism of the congo cartoons was that he, supposedly like all europeans at the time, just thought of africans as 'big children'.
I actually think I might have misremembered because when I just did a search the internet is not telling me that the animation was ever made.
I'm pretty sure that a cartoon was made of it at some point and that I saw it more than once on television.
This shit got me all :alex-aware:

Same energy

What in the hell
The first few Tintin books were... interesting. The very first story was just anti-Soviet propaganda :michael-laugh:
They also came out in the 1920s and 30s
This particular panel feels like a parody. It's so on the nose.
Hergé wasn't exactly a Nazi but boy did he radiate particles at first.
Yh the Tintin comics and cartoons in the Congo are honestly depraved. Like the shamelessness or obliviousness amazes me.
Remember first time I saw the episode on TV and even as a kid I was like WTF :mao-wtf: :what-the-hell:
It made it into a cartoon?! :michael-laugh:
Yh it became a famous belgian cartoon. Like its sickening I thought I was losing my mind when I saw it come on tv in a cafe one day.
Tintin getting cartoons is no surprise, that they'd adapt the fucking Congo story is
