The character of Rackham is relatively faithful to Hergé's creation with the only real difference being Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine becoming a distant descendant of his only in Speilberg's fim in The Adventures of Tintin. Which neither Tintin or Haddock were interested in having on their voyage. Red Rackham was in the animated series The Adventures of Tintin. Before the day of the exploration, Tintin & Haddock are visited by a hard of hearing professor named Cuthbert Calculas who provides help in their exploration with a Shark submarine. Which they believe is the location of Red Rackham's treasure.
