Just watched my favourite Tintin, Flight 714, on DVD.
It works. It was fun. But it doesn't work as well as the comic. Mainly because the DVD goes by too fast to soak up and enjoy the details.
I remember the comic frame when Professor Calculus demonstrates a "savate" move in Jakarta airport. I've spent hours laughing at the hundreds of things that flood out of his pockets. That frame lasts just a fraction of a second on the DVD. There's another frame when Captain Haddock pours some liquid (mineral water?) into a potted plant at the airport...and the plant wilts. I didn't spot that at all in the DVD.
A less visually rich comic, like Peanuts, probably works better on DVD than Tintin.

Asterix on DVD is even sadder. . .
Sani-cola (with chlorophyll!)
A form of mineral water no doubt, perhaps about as poisonous as aquafina or dasani.
