Given the "colonial difference" between the society from which Tintin comes, and that of both the Spanish colonists and the indigenous peoples of Peru, what is it necessary to know in order to interpret these texts?
Consider the varieties of discourse in Prisoners of the Sun, and their relation to particular cultures or domains.
The relative absence of active and/or powerful female figures in The Prisoners of the Sun (1946) has not prevented this album from achieving international popularity, any more than the relative exclusion of significant male figures from the pages of Wonder Woman comics in the 1940's diminished the popularity of those comics.

Herge has been unfairly criticized both for continuing to produce work in his native Belgium while it was under Nazi occupation, and for the various controversial political and sociological themes of the adventures.

 Comic Strips and Animation: The Belgian Tradition
In 1955 Raymond Leblanc, head of Lombard publisher of the Tintin comic books, founded the Belvision animation studio, which brought Belgian animation out of its provinciality by offering the first television version of The Adventures of Tintin.
They produced such films as Pinocchio in Outer Space (1964), Asterix the Gaul (1967), Asterix and Cleopatra (1968), Tintin and the Temple of the Sun (1969), Daisy Town [Lucky Luke] (1972), Tintin and the Lake of Sharks (1972), Gulliver (1975), and The Flute of Six Smurfs (1975).
There is little chance though that Captain Haddock would be sold to one company and Milou to another, since the Hergé Foundation carefully preserves the integrity of his work, sometimes to the point of jealously, which, in Europe, gives rise to other kinds of controversy.

Tintin and the Temple of the Sun (International: English title)
The animation is nice and some of the elements that made the success of the famous reporter are here to keep the fans happy: exotic sceneries, a mysterious curse and a touch of humor (of course a bit conventional) brought by the eccentric detectives: the Thompsons.
This touch of humor was brought perhaps to lighten the story and to avoid that it's too seriously told.
