Tintin and the Golden Fleece (in the original French, Tintin et le mystère de la Toison d'or, meaning Tintin and the Mystery of the Golden Fleece) is a film first released in France on December 6, 1961. Featuring characters from the The Adventures of Tintin comic book series written and drawn by the Belgian writer-artist Hergé, it was a live-action film with actors made-up to look like the characters and featured an original storyline not based on any of the books.
The film is set in Turkey and Greece with the main characters of Tintin and Captain Haddock searching for treasure after inheriting a ship called the Golden Fleece. The film was followed by a less successful sequel, Tintin and the Blue Oranges.
