Les Aventures De Tintin (The Adventures of Tintin) influenced Indiana Jones

The evidence

Spielberg has told this story himself. French reviews of Raiders of the Lost Ark compared it to Tintin, he had not read the books, he then did, and he spent nearly thirty years trying to film them before making The Adventures of Tintin in 2011. Whether or not it reached him before Raiders, Hergé built the form both share: serialised globe-trotting adventure where an artefact drives the plot, research is shown on the page, and each chapter ends on a fall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Tintin_(film) This is a rare example of circular influence/not a direct A to B influence and therefore kept as LOW.
