Coming in December 2011Looks like it is weaving plots from three plots together (Secret of the Unicorn, Red Rackham's Treasure, The Crab with the Golden Claws) which I think is a smart move, since on their own each book would probably be a bit too short for a feature-length movie. I like the casting, and the graphic style, it seems pretty faithful on the face of it.

They make Haddock look like a lovable drunk, rather than a nutso wanker, but I guess that is to be expected.  |

Um, he is a loveable drunk. Kind of. Who swears a lot, has violent tendencies, gets ragingly drunk at the worst times, and...
Well.

Wow, I have never heard of these Tintin comics, but that trailer looked really good. And I usually don't go in for those creepy uncanny valley CGI movies.

It pushes considerably further towards the cartoonish than Zemeckis' projects did. Especially the characters' body proportions.

Maybe it is more of a Euro thing, but I'm surprised that you haven't heard of Tintin. |

A certain degree of photorealistic flirting-with-the-uncanny-valley is actually aesthetically appropriate to Tintin: Herge's art style was meticulously based on observation and realism. Only the main characters (Tintin most particularly) are cartoony to a significant extent.

It is a weird cultural divide. Most European kids are raised on Tintin. Most American kids have never heard of him.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Most Australians of my age know Tintin quite well; school libraries contained near full sets of Tintin and Asterix books.
Wasn't a fan of the Tintin cartoon though.

I read every single one of the Tintin books as a kid. At least every single one my uncle owned, which was a lot. Not sure yet about the CGI visual style, but I think I like it better than the cartoon series.

My elementary school library (in Piedmont CA) was full of all of them (and Asterix) and I read them all in about 2nd grade or so. |

Yeah, I only know of Tintin and Astrix from going to Europe and having Euro friends in college who wont stfu about it. I had never heard of either before then.

Huh, weird, we read these when we were kids, before I knew anything about Europe. Just part of my interest in comics, I guess.

They were in various libraries when I was a kid, circa early 90s. You guys spent most of your childhood in a library, right. Right?

Yes, though I read Asterix and Tintin in my local bookstore. I also owned the two moon Tintins (Destination and Explorers) but I'm not sure what happened to those.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

As a matter of fact I did. Still didn't see them in the library. |
