publive-imageDiscovery Kids is set to air 'The Adventures of Tintin', an animated  adaptation of one of the most popular comic classics of all times, every day at 2 PM with repeat telecast at 8 PM starting January 26. Tintin and his faithful dog Snowy are back to keep peace in the world in this 39-episode series.

 'The Adventures of Tintin' is full of humour and excitement with elements of fantasy and mystery which kids will adore. The intrepid young reporter and his trusty sidekick Snowy travel around the world accompanied by a colourful cast of characters including the blustery Captain Haddock, the brilliant but absent-minded Professor Calculus and the detective twins Thompson and Thomson.

Rahul Johri, Senior VP and General Manager - South Asia, Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific, said, “Discovery Kids is excited to present the animated adaptation of this timeless comic. Children will relate with the inquisitive, intelligent and brave Tintin who as an investigative reporter sparks wonder and curiosity in every adventure.”
