It begins with an archaeologist who is submitted to an astonishing curse, being put in sleep by a weird flying ball . Formerly, various archaelogists encountered an old Inca temple, and all of them became the unfortunate victims of a nasty Inca God. Back to Europe one by one and little by little are fallen into fearing nightmares and deep sleeps. Later on, professor Calculus or Tornasol is kidnapped by throwing the magic ball into the car, carried out by a duo of Peruvian Indians and undercoverly being embarked at a merchant boat called Pacharama. Then, Tintin and his faithful, inseparable friend Captain Haddock, Milu and Inspector Dupont ot Thompson brothers go to Peru to rescue the absent-minded professor Calculus or Tornasol and free 7 archeologist from an old, strange curse. These archeologists from time to time wake up and suffer frequent allucinations for some minutes and a bit later on return to sleep. In Peru they arrive in Santa Clara, Callao, as our friends meet a Peruvian little boy called Zorrino who leads them throughout the lush and dangerous jungles, mountains, cliffs, snows and confronting perilous citizens and wildlife as crocs, serpents and a starving condor. After that, the risked tracks lead to an amazing discovery, The Temple of the Sun, adoring God Pachacamac, run by an ominous Inca chief, The Gran Inca, and our friends are surprised in action and captured, being condemned to a horrible deastination.
Amusing and funny Tintin aventure contains outrageous feats, full of humor, amusement, entertainment, taking here and there some elements from original comic books but some changes too. As usual, Captain Haddock steals the show, this time he takes off the annoying Peruvian LLamas spitting saliva to him. Long time ago, Captain Haddock and Tintin met the first time in "The crab of the gold tweezers", and following other fun adventures as "The secret of the Unicorn" and "Treasure of Rackam the Red" . Based in two comic books (Seven balls of crystal and its second part : The Temple of the Sun, though mainly the latter) drawn by the great Herge or Georges Remi whose work in a clear, clean, simple drawing line was fabulous.
It contains an atmospheric musical score by Francois Rauber who also composed "Tintin and the lagoon of sharks" . However, it packs some anticlimatic and boring songs. These are : Ode a la nuit, words and music by Jacques Brel performed by Lucie Dolene. And Chanson of Zorrino, words and music by Jacques Brel, performed by Lucie Dolene and Lemercier. The picture was professionally directed by Eddie Lateste, who was in charge of animation department of The smurfs and the magic flaute, Asterix the Gaul, Asterix and Cleopatra, Lucky Luke, and Pinoccio . Being well financed by the notorious producer Raymond Leblanc. Raymond produced and directed various cartoon movies, most of them based on Gosciny and Uderzo , Herge and Morris comic books. As he made Iznogud , Lucky Luke, Asterix and Cleopatra, Asterix the Gaul, Gulliver's travels and Tintin and treasure of the sharks. Rating 6/10. It is a funny and agreeable entertainment for kiddies and adults.
