action

The film begins with a break-in in a museum; the burglars steal a precious pearl and replace it with a deceptively real duplicate . The summoned museum director points out a series of similar incidents in other museums.

Then meet Tim , Snowy and Captain Haddock at the airport in Syldavia one where to Professor Calculus invited. Together with Schulze and Schultze , who are on a secret mission, they board an air taxi . Shortly before arrival, one of the aircraft's engines fails and the pilot exits with a parachute . Tim manages to make an emergency landing on a mountain slope with difficulty. With the help of the siblings Niko and Nuschka and Gustav, who happened to be in the area, the two children's dogs, the people who landed in the emergency managed to escape from the burning machine before it fell into a ravine .

With the two siblings' small horse-drawn cart they continue their journey and meet Bienlein in his villa on the shark lake between Syldavia and Bordurien . The professor talks about his latest invention, a 3D - copying machine , can be generated with that of an object an exact copy. The Schultzes have come to protect the professor and report on the series of burglaries mentioned at the beginning.

The next day Tim discovers a grotto in the area with numerous stolen art treasures. Niko and Nuschka are kidnapped by divers who request by tape message that Tim should wait at the lake in two days to see the professor's invention. Tim agreed in secret police, leaving the designed by Professor Calculus Shark - Submarine bring along. The captain should follow him with Struppi.

As Tim suspected, the criminals pick him up in a submarine and take him to the criminal base, which is built in a sunken city. Tim is brought to the "Great Shark", the head of the organization, who turns out to be Tim's archenemy Rastapopoulos . Rastapopoulos wants to duplicate the stolen art treasures with the help of the copier in order to make even more money than before, but has to discover that the device is not working correctly and throws Tim into a dungeon with the siblings .

When Rastapopoulos learns that the police are searching the lake with a patrol boat , he lets the underwater base flood and escapes himself in a submarine. However, Tim and the siblings manage to free themselves and get to the surface of the water unscathed. The subsequent explosion at the underwater base and the resulting tidal wave washed them onto the police patrol boat. The police arrest most of the criminals.

The police cannot get hold of Rastapopoulos, as it is now on the Bordurian side of the lake. Tim and Captain Haddock follow the submarine with a motorboat and are lucky: Rastapopoulos is stranded with his submarine. Tim and the captain manage to arrest him and bring him back to the Syldavian side of the lake, where they hand him over to the police. Meanwhile, the residents of the lake are holding a festival in honor of Tim and his friends.

background

The Belvision Studios produced the film in collaboration with Dargaud Films and Raymond Leblanc .

The story was not written by Tintin inventor Hergé , but by his friend Greg (Michel Régnier). However, Hergé oversaw the project.

The film premiered on December 13, 1972 in France. This was followed by the premieres in Sweden (August 11, 1973), in the Federal Republic of Germany (December 2, 1973), in Finland (December 14, 1973), in Turkey (April 1974), in Spain (April 1, 1974), in Portugal (December 18, 1980) and Hungary (February 9, 1984). The English version was published under the title Tintin and the Lake of Sharks . United Artists took over the German theatrical distribution .

In 1973 the corresponding comic album from the Tim und Struppi series was published , in which images from the film were supplemented with speech bubbles , but some were also redrawn. The said volume was shortened compared to the film, but otherwise sticks to the film plot very strictly and shows only insignificant differences. That is why there is a large film strip on the cover of the album . The style of the drawings, especially the coloring and the backgrounds, differs significantly from the style of other Tim's adventures.

The UFA-ATB published a shorter version as a three-parter for the Super-8 home theater market in the 1970s. ATLAS FILM Duisburg distributed a complete version in 16 mm format for club cinemas. The film was first shown on German television in 1984 on ARD . The film has also been available on DVD since 2006. In 2011 the film was also released in a limited edition on Blu-ray in the steelbook.

criticism

The lexicon of international films judged: "An only partially child-friendly cartoon based on the popular comic series, which offers entertaining entertainment with likeable characters."

  5. The main difference is shown in the final scene. The hurried opera singer Bianca Castafiore urges Haddock to dance with her. In the film, he is very dissatisfied with it. In the book he surrenders to his fate and is still happy about the dance.

  7. The film should be broadcast regularly at 12.30 p.m. (see program on Thursday, May 31, 1984 ). Because of the award of the Charlemagne Prize (see Der Karlspreisträger 1984 ), this date was postponed by about an hour. - The film was not broadcast again until May 30, 1991 on RTL (see program on Thursday, May 30, 1991 ).
