The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio (Les Aventures de Spirou et Fantasio in French) is a 2018 live-action adventure/comedy film based on the Franco-Belgian Comics series Spirou & Fantasio (the André Franquin era of it, more preciselynote Champignac, Seccotine, Zantafio and Zorglub are Franquin creations), directed by Alexandre Coffre.Spirou (Thomas Solivérès), a thief disguised as a bellboy, meets Fantasio (Alex Lutz), a journalist that been losing momentum. They have to work as a team, when Count Pacôme de Champignac (Christian Clavier) is kidnapped by Mad Scientist Zorglub (Ramzy Bedia). Between Europe and Africa, the two men will search for the eccentric inventor, helped by Seccotine (Géraldine Nakache), Fantasio's rival, and the squirrel Spip.Despite the Shared Universe of the Franquin comics, it has no ties to either HOUBA! On the Trail of the Marsupilami or Gaston Lagaffe (which aren't connected either). | |

The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Fantasio and Seccotine argue often, and yet show some real concern from time to time. In two separated scenes, one of them is subjected to a death threat: Fantasio is stuck in a car about to explose and a Brainwashed Seccotine walks straight to a Lava Pit. Both frantically try to save the other one despite Teddy, the guide, and Spirou respectively told them it was too dangerous. | |

Age Lift: Spirou and Fantasio are usually around the same age, but here Fantasio is the oldest by about 10 years. Similarly, Zorglub and the Count were co-workers and of the same generation. But here, Zorglub is the youngest, as he was the Count assistant. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: No trailers showed the actual reason why (Greed, as he thinks the Count have a mushroom worth millions) Spirou suddenly run after the kidnapped Champignac, risking his life in the process (he uses an experimental Jet Pack with no landing button). For viewers familiar with the comics, it can be put down to his Chronic Hero Syndrome. The original Spirou could totally try to rescue an innocent person (including a perfect stranger) just because it was the right thing to do. To those viewers, discovering the actual Only in It for the Money Spirou's motivation in the movie could be an unpleasant surprise. | |

The Ghost: Zantafio, Fantasio's evil cousin, is alluded to many times. He's apparently a TV anchorman, and Fantasio believes Seccotine gave him one of his scoops and that they had an affair. He seems in general to have made Fantasio's life a misery. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: When in the beginning, Fantasio met Seccotine at the hotel by Contrived Coincidence, they did not see each other for a year or so. Apparently, they used to get along well, but their relationship went sour as Seccotine accused him of having ghost her on phone, and even remembers bitterly that she swore to never meet him again. Later on, Fantasio explains to Spirou that he thinks that Seccotine, in the past, gave the last scoop he was working on to Zantafio. And slept with him in addition. Seccotine denied both accusations, and given how Zantafio is in comics, it's quite likely he is the one who lied, effectively. Either to bother his cousin as it is an old habit of his, or to woo Seccotine he also had a crush on-or both. Anyway, Fantasio did not believe Seccotine back then, causing a rift and the conflicted relationship they're in. | |

To be fair, Seccotine herself sometimes provoke this. Notably when she let Fantasio be mistaken on the identity of the person who wait for her in a hotel room (Champignac, but he thinks it's Zantafio.) Or posing as a flight attendant in an airport, and assuring she don't know what Fantasio is talking about when he accuses her to be actually a reporter. Then Seccotine announces, loud enough for him to hear her, that she brought her "smallest bikini" with her. | |

Mythology Gag | |
The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: One of the very first sentences said by Spirou, "At your service", was also his first in the original strip by Rob-Vel. Blink and you miss it, but in the hotel corridor, a poster announce dedications by Kodo le tyran ("Kodo the Tyrant"), from a 1979 comics of the same name. In the airport, the newspaper that Spirou and Fantasio use to hide behind, title that a Mesozoic traveler has find a dinosaur egg on an ice field. In the album ''Le Voyageur du Mésozoïque'' ("The visitor from the Mesozoic ") the count of Champignac bring back a dinosaur's egg from Antarctica. Still at the airport, there is an announcement in loudspeakers for passenger Itoh Kata. The latter is a Japanese illusionist and an Escape Artist present in several albums. Ironically, his name is heard while Spirou himself just used skills worthy of Itoh. Spirou once remark that the Champicopter should have a better name, and Fantasio suggest the Fantacopter. It was the name of the device in the comics, due to Fantasio being the original inventor. The original authors would often use Symbol Swearing due to the heavy censorship in publications aimed at children then. In the movie, one scene homages this, as the insults Fantasio uses to describe his cousin are covered instead by Sound-Effect Bleep from the plane he's in. This does not prevent others profanities in the dialogues to be heard, though. Spirou announce twice he shall change of clothes, but Fantasio forbids him to each time. It illustrate the paradox of the different writers, who either ignore the lack of realism of Spirou being in his bellboy uniform on a daily basis, or acknowledge this by putting him in a civilian version instead◊. The vehicle Fantasio and Seccotine arrive in during the last scene is the Turbotraction◊. In the last scene, a guest of the hotel is reading the "Moustique", the actual name of the newspaper Fantasio and Seccotine work for. The title of the article relating Zorglub's demise is titled ''Z comme Zorglub'' ("Z is for Zorglub"), how the album he appeared in was named. The titles of others articles are also those of previous albums such as L'Homme qui ne voulait pas mourir ("The man who did not want to die") and Tora Torapa. Not to mention an article reporting that Zantafio been fired. | |

Trap Door | |
The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_27fdc960 | comment |
Trap Door: Zorglub has one in his lair, that open directly on a Lava Pit (given it's a Volcano Lair). He can open it by a pressure on the knob of his cane, and send here any of his henchman he's not happy of. In the end, he tries to send here Champignac and Seccotine, but he's finally the one who'll fall through it. | |

Parental Abandonment | |
The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: The Count of Champignac quickly deduce that Spirou never knew parental authority when they met. Later, Fantasio ask Spirou what his parents think of him being a pickpocket, and the later stay suspiciously silent, suggesting a Dark and Troubled Past.note Or maybe it's a Mythology Gag, given that originally Spirou was a Golem Born as an Adult out of a drawing, thus with no parents. | |

Shipper on Deck: Spirou, big time, for Fantasio and Seccotine. First he smiles when Seccotine hugs Fantasio, relieved that he survived a car accident. And after Spirou has noticed Fantasio Longing Look at Seccotine in the desert, he advice Fantasio to talk to her. Later in the villains's lair, everyone but Spirou is frozen by the zorglwaves. Spirou take advantage of the situation by putting Fantasio and Seccotine in position to kiss, before he reverse the effects of the waves. Fantasio and Seccotine are initially surprised when they defroze, but blissfully indulge in the kiss immediately after. | |

Fantasio's 60's looking red bow tie and blue jacket seemed very old fashioned in The New '10s, explaining he arrives at the hotel in a more modern outfit. But Spirou immediately ruins it with coffee. The luxury hotel staff then lend him other clothes that are this Iconic Outfit (presumably, they had it in their wardrobe since the last fifty years). Fantasio does not have the occasion to change clothes later, explaining his outfit. | |

Ruder and Cruder: The original story used Symbol Swearing or Calling Me a Logarithm and was chaste to stay kid friendly. Here, and apart from a Sound-Effect Bleep, profanities are used in dialogues without filter. Also, the Count of Champignac speak of Seccotine's mother in terms that let suppose that they are quite intimate. Seccotine herself is used to tease Fantasio by describing Zantafio Ready for Lovemaking for her in a hotel room, or speaking about her Barely-There Swimwear. | |

The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_402b438d | comment |
Clothes Make the Legend: The opening credits show the making of Spirou's red uniform. Then, he steal it in his first scene without viewers can see what he wore before. Spirou needed to infiltrate the hotel, and does not have the occasion to change his clothes throughout the course of the movie, explaining why he wears a bellboy's uniform despite he's not one. At least until the last scene, where he actually has been hired as one. Fantasio's 60's looking red bow tie and blue jacket seemed very old fashioned in The New '10s, explaining he arrives at the hotel in a more modern outfit. But Spirou immediately ruins it with coffee.

Damsel in Distress: In comics, Seccotine used to avert this. The only time she was ever captured was in Adventures down under, along with Fantasio, and they soon managed to escape. Here she is immobilized three times by zorglwaves (despite never being confronted to them in the original) and kidnapped two times straight afterwards, needing guys to get out of the situation. | |

Becoming the Mask: Spirou posed at first as a bellboy with a stolen uniform, and defined the job as being a lackey. The last scene show him being hired as an actual, and apparently skilled bellboy in the very same hotel of the beginning. Until he decides that he had rather be an adventurer anyway, and flee the hotel. | |

However, a few scenes later, Fantasio is stuck in an accidented car about to explode. Despite the danger, Spirou help him to escape while stating that he won't let his friends down. | |

Crazy Jealous Guy | |
The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_50b9b3d0 | comment |
Crazy Jealous Guy: Fantasio is certain -despite her denial- that Seccotine has an affair with Zantafio, is not happy to see her with Teddy despite he's simply a guide she hired, and is even offended to see her hugging Spirou in Zorglub's dungeon. note Actually a ruse to slip the weapon "Metomol" in his pocket, to let them escape. Let's say that this behavior makes clear how Fantasio actually feels about her. To be fair, Seccotine herself sometimes provoke this. Notably when she let Fantasio be mistaken on the identity of the person who wait for her in a hotel room (Champignac, but he thinks it's Zantafio.) Or posing as a flight attendant in an airport, and assuring she don't know what Fantasio is talking about when he accuses her to be actually a reporter.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: In the original story, Zorglub forces the Zorglmen to speak backwards in order that witnesses do not understand them, but the readers still could. Here, Zorglub sometimes speak backwards as a form of a Verbal Tic when he's nervous, and it's transmitted to Zorglmen for some reason. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Spirou turn out to be afraid of planes, a quite Ironic Fear for a future adventurer. On the other end he's not afraid to pilot the Champicopter, despite the device does not have a button for landing. | |

The opening credits show the making of Spirou's red uniform. Then, he steal it in his first scene without viewers can see what he wore before. Spirou needed to infiltrate the hotel, and does not have the occasion to change his clothes throughout the course of the movie, explaining why he wears a bellboy's uniform despite he's not one. At least until the last scene, where he actually has been hired as one. | |

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Champignac and Zorglub used to be co-workers in the comics, but as Zorglub always looked younger anyway, he ends up having been Champignac's assistant. Seccotine used to know the Count through Spirou and Fantasio. There, it's hinted she knows him since childhood through her mother. The latter is stated to live in Champignac's castle, thus it can be supposed she's the Count housekeeper. And maybe more than that according to some Double Entendre comments by the Count. | |

Ambiguous Time Period: Intentionally. According to the director, the movie shall remain of the 60's, when the comics raised in popularity. As a result, clothing, vehicles, and some devices such as headphones, mostly look from The New '10s. There is even a justification to explain why Fantasio ends in a 60's costume. But, at the same time, all hotels dress their bellhop workers in costumes no longer in use since the The '40s. Plus no one seem to possess a cell phone, despite they would be often quite handy, notably in the desert. | |

The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_95ef5b0d | comment |
The original authors would often use Symbol Swearing due to the heavy censorship in publications aimed at children then. In the movie, one scene homages this, as the insults Fantasio uses to describe his cousin are covered instead by Sound-Effect Bleep from the plane he's in. This does not prevent others profanities in the dialogues to be heard, though. | |

Truer to the Text | |
The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_b552b24 | comment |
Truer to the Text: When it comes to costumes. Spirou's uniform was problematic as he stopped working as a bellboy since The '40s.note Not to mention, so painfully old-fashioned the he provide the Outdated Outfit page image. In the previous animated adaptations, like he did for the last forty years in the comics, he wore civilian clothes◊ in shades of red instead. But the movie plays straight his traditional uniform, under the pretext he have to infiltrate a hotel twice (and he works in such a place when it ends). Similarly in cartoons and most recent comics, Fantasio sticked to a blue scheme but without his bow tie, and had rather a regular tie instead. In a subversion, in the movie, he arrives in his first scene in an outfit identical to the last he worn in the comics. But he have to change clothes two minutes later, and ends in his 60's costume with a bow tie, which "suits him well" according to the hotel receptionist. | |

Irony | |
The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: After the airport police has arrested and handcuffed together Fantasio and Spirou, the latter warn him he will never see him again after all this. Very unlikely for a 70 years old duo. | |

Convenient Decoy Cat | |
The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_c37feace | comment |
Convenient Decoy Cat: Or rather convenient decoy squirrel. Zorglub suspect the Count of Champignac of trying to run away from the hotel in a laundry tray after he noticed the contents moved, but it's Spip he find in it, and walk away-not realizing Champignac was really indeed inside. | |

In the desert, Seccotine, exhausted, describe an Hollywood Mirage of a fountain and say she's ready to share its water with Fantasio, but not Spirou. Why? He's "too red haired". Spirou reminds her he's standing right here. | |

Slower Than a Snail | |

Slower Than a Snail: One of Champignac 's formula have this effect, and he test it on Spirou right when they met. That's the reason why the latter can't intervene when Claude and Marie enter the Count room moments later, to kidnap him. | |

Escape Artist | |
The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_ccb3498d | comment |
Still at the airport, there is an announcement in loudspeakers for passenger Itoh Kata. The latter is a Japanese illusionist and an Escape Artist present in several albums. Ironically, his name is heard while Spirou himself just used skills worthy of Itoh. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: In nearly all albums, Spirou and Fantasio get caught at least once in a hand-to-hand combat with villains (and usually win). The first is even a boxing expert. Here, Spirou is the only one who could eventually have the occasion to fight, and he prefers to run away (in front of Gantagwa's policemen). When confronted to Marie, he simply throw suitcases at her (albeit it can be because of a Wouldn't Hit a Girl case). She clearly have the upper hand anyway, and it's Spip, of all people, who win the brawl. Later on, when facing Zorglub, the later have no difficulties to simply throw away Spirou like a rag doll. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Teddy, the guide hired by Seccotine, brutally abandon her with Spirou and Fantasio in the desert, calling them "fools". Without a vehicle, nor provisions, which is borderline criminal. | |

I'm Standing Right Here: Spirou met Fantasio while running away from the hotel while the latter want to get in. Their opposing moves block the revolving doors of the building. Spirou complains "What an idiot!", and Fantasio warns him he heard this. After the He Is Not My Boyfriend response of Seccotine, Fantasio protests that he heard her. In the desert, Seccotine, exhausted, describe an Hollywood Mirage of a fountain and say she's ready to share its water with Fantasio, but not Spirou. Why? He's "too red haired". Spirou reminds her he's standing right here. | |

Suspiciously Specific Denial: When Fantasio describe the supposed relationship between Seccotine and Zantafio, Spirou tease that Fantasio sound jealous and is "stuck" on the girl. Fantasio assures that he don't care, and that his only point of contention with Seccotine lies in the fact that she stole one of his scoops and gave it to his cousin. | |

Adaptational Context Change: In the comic book, zorglwaves and the Fantacopter were respectively Zorglub and Fantasio inventions. Here, they're both attributed to the Count of Champignac. Zorglub needs Champignac's help to make the waves actually work after he stole him the formula, and that's why he kidnap him. And the Fantacopter becomes the Champicopter for that reason. | |
