cant wait.
the first 2 volumes got some of my favs as well - Blue Lotus, in Tibet and King Ottakars Sceptre :clap:
Great News, at last, I've been waiting for these to be released here.
I've collected all the books now and the DVD collection will go well with them.:)
just thought Id bump this as they were supposed to be out on Monday but I think it may be end of month now :(
ah completely forgot about these, have too many DVDs to buy !! :nuts:
Anyone got any audio details on these disks?
Especially, do they have sub-titles?
Cheers,
Alex.
...strange that people should talk about this as if it concerns a new release... these movies have been out on <a href="http://www.dvdfr.com/dvd/fiche.php3?id=4069">French DVDs</a> since almost a year... each of those ten DVD-9 discs contains two stories, all are 1.33:1, with optional French, Spanish or English mono soundtracks and optional English subtitles...
...I think...

The first two disks have been listed at play for a while.
Playis listing them both for release on: 28/10/2002

In France these discs have been on a special "2 for 1" offer for a while. You can get any 2 discs for about €20, which is a pretty good deal. See:

thought Id bump this again as theyre meant to be out now!Must pop into town later for them:)
I saw them in HMV last night.
Are they any good? Love the books but worried about some sort of bodged translation to animation. Also does Captain Haddock have a Scottish accent? Always imagined he would have for some reason......(maybe it's the whisky :))
you;ve never seen them on TV ?
it was pretty good !!
I have vague re-collections, it seemed like many moons ago though! Need a refresher review!
£20 for 4 episodes!!! :eek: Shocking! :nono:
is it 4 TV episodes or 4 stories ?
if its 4 stories, that 4 hours worth.

Known fault, it was the same authoring house that did Suspiria. (they had faulty equipment)

Bad news for volume 2 which suffered from lip-synch but to a lesser degree- here's their response:

Dear all
I've re-examined the audio on Tin tin disc two and I'm happy this is within acceptable parameters for a dubbed film. I've also compared the DVD against the Master Tape supplied to us for encoding and again find the audio to be within acceptable parameters

to which I answered
I.e. no recall? - Is "acceptable parameters" an admission of defect but not sufficient to warrant a recall then?
Can't say i'm in the least bit happy with AB at the moment - hardly ever answering the forums then threatening to shut them down when things get too hot, and now drafting in some legal jargon writer to do some damage control - or maybe I'm being a little unfair :D
Still I hope they get their act together once and for all - they could do so much better but they seem to be trying hard to emulate Tartan ;)
