While shopping at an outdoor market, young reporter Tintin (Jamie Bell), accompanied by his faithful dog, Snowy, buys a model of an old ship called the Unicorn. A shady character named Sakharine (Daniel Craig) and later an American named Barnaby (Joe Starr) try to buy the model from him, but Tintin refuses. The lad discovers that the ship contains a clue about a hidden treasure, but before he can locate it, Tintin is kidnapped and given over to the custody of drunken Capt. Haddock (Andy Serkis).

Gotta love how Mr. Silk is more offended at the idea that he is a thief than he is afraid of being caught.

The fact that it’s Nick Frost and Simon Pegg doing this makes it so much better

"I'm not a bad person..! - *_I'm a kleptomaniac!"_*

"No wonder he keeps his wallets in the living room..."

*_THERAPEUTIC CRIT!_*

[TheQuaadFather]

I like that he doesn't take them for the money, he's literally insane 😂

[dankmeme]

Anybody else notice those birds??? They got caught so chill and even then just flew into the cage like "Alright back home"

[Komputar]

One is *Thompson with a P* and the other is *Thomson without a P*

[FloatingQuaker]

What's amusing is that in the original comic, the Thomsons got swindled enough by the pickpocket to the point where they recognized and arrested him the second they got to his house. Here, they're so vacuous that they don't recognize the guy at point-blank, even when they see all the shelves of wallets.

That said, their disguises later on in the film aren't horribly out-of-date stereotypes like they usually have in the comics, so the Thompsons aren't completely devoid of competency.

[KauraZanifer]

It is wonderfully clever that they added birds spinning around Mr. Silk’s head IN—WORLD. That’s just an amazingly clever way to keep the animation realistic while also harkening to old cartoons.

[TheMiraculousVillain]

They kept the cluelessness from the hergé comic that’s what makes these two the funniest parts of the movie

[sparky]

I think our brains fried during the Thompsons conversations.

[Anon]

To be precise, it's Thompson, with a p as in Philadelphia, and Thomson, without a p, as in urinary tract obstruction.

Dobby’s not a bad person, Dobby’s a kleptomaniac.

[ItsChevnotJeff]

Thompson and Thompson is what I would call goofy but intimidating, they act like cheery gentlemen until you remember they are supposed to be detectives and they even sync well with each other, being twins and all

[collecter]

Background guy was prepared to catch those birds

[juanmanuelpenaloza]

I'm amazed they managed to do a retelling of the Telltale Heart with a pickpocket and Thomson and Thompson.

This is the first and only animation that really set the bar (for me). The atmosphere and people actually look like they have weight to them physically and also emotionally due to great performance of the actors.

Looks even better than
• Love Death and Robots
• Final Fantasy
• A Christmas Carol 2009
• The Polar Express
• Beowulf
• etc

(All realistic computer animation films I love by the way, but again, this pushed the limits for me)

[TheCommenterDragon]

I like this version of Mr. Silk better than the one in the comics/animated series. Because the version of Mr. Silk in this movie isn't a bad man or a criminal, He's just a guy with a bad uncontrollable habit. I mean they may say that nothing justifies stealing but I'm just saying just because someone has a bad habit that they can't control that doesn't mean that they are a bad person.

Simon Pegg And Nick Frost Catches Toby Jones The Walet Thief

[red_dulge]

If he simply had walked through them than rushing to his apartment he would've gotten away 💀

[flitsertheo]

They did their best for the scenery capturing the feel of the 19th century expansion neighbourhoods around the old city centre.
