What's gone wrong with this one?
You can't take one of the top cartoon gems and make mistakes like
*) writing a stereotype, 007-like story + villain instead of wisely choosing one the the dozens of good ones available. The story also lacks real twists and stays far from the timing and advance of the original comics.
*) change essential details of the Spirou universe, like the first encounters of each other
*) the "plan" of Zorglub and his "rays" don't really come through
*) Spirou himself ... while not as bad, as Gaston (Lagaffe) in the other movie, is far from the potential of the role/character. Changing him to some pickpocket? Why the hell?!?!?
*) add the squirrel, but leave out its purpose as a character
*) last, not least: Since when is Seccotine a non-blonde and a love interest of Fantasio?!?!?
On the plus side:
I liked the choice and depiction of Fantasio (apart from the Seccotine-thingy) and the way he fails at times.
Clavier might well work as the Count, but the role was sabotaged by the script.
Details like the helicopter (though: in the comic, it was invented by Fantasio!), the supercar (which has been developed in the course of events, not being just there) and the look of the mushrooms.
