Incanus 5,714 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 "Music made by some guy who appeared on Family Guy"Yeah a good selling point! They should elaborate: "The guy who appeared on Family Guy and who got shot with his orchestra in the desert in the episode Blue Harvest.I wonder if the Introducing Bianca Castafiore track is just a partial recording of the the Jewel Song, l'air des bijoux from Faust or will it flow into some underscore.

Foxfan 128 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Same one on Amazon France's pre-order page. Too bad as I was hoping to order one that says "Les aventures de Tintin" given that the books were originally written in French.If they're both the same I think the UK site charges less for shipping.

indy4 155 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 They obviously couldn't fit both William Ross' and John Williams' names on the cover, so they decided to not include either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neimoidian 14 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Great cover. Who knows, perhaps popularity of that made by Roald persuaded the executives to choose that concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roald had an uncanny intuition about the cover though. I had to check twice to make sure it was not his. Well, it's okay I guess, but I would have preferred another cover art, simply because the background color reminds me a bit of Minority Report and PoA.Still, it's no biggie.

Josh500 1,615 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I just realized something.Either Sony used the exact same font to write "Music Composed and Conducted by JW" they used for Home Alone back in 1990, or this is fan made too! I knew that script look familiar.Yeah, it's more about The Secret Of The Unicorn than The Adventures of Tintin (the poster with the globe would be better for that)Well, yes. I'd have preferred the Adventure angle, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 As I have said love the noirishly moody feel of the official cover. But I would not have objected to the motorcycle image or Milou and Tintin globe trotting picture either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the later editions of AOTC had those red stickers. But I was thinking that maybe when it was first released, Conveyor was intended to be a surprise...
