The Adventures of Tintin follows the exciting exploits of a young reporter, his dog, a sea captain using a drinking problem, along with a handful of bumbling Interpol detectives while they travel from Europe on the Sahara and Morocco in pursuit of your pickpocket, model-ship collectors, and long-lost treasure. Steven Spielberg's and Peter Jackson's long-awaited full-length film, based around the original "Tintin" comics by Hergé, combines the stories "The Secret of the Unicorn," "Red Rackham's Treasure," and "The Crab while using Golden Claws" in to a generally fast-paced adventure that feels merely a tad too long. The individual stories as well as the characters Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, and Thompson and Thomson are quite faithfully represented. The motion-capture animation is just like those of Polar Express and is also both fascinating and a bit odd at times. As within the comics themselves, the characters are highly stylized and instantly recognizable, but Tintin's facial expression is eerily stoic and there's a hint of strangeness that's hard to place a finger on. Snowy is delightfully funny to watch, though he or she is a bit fluffier than inside the original comics, and also the real animation standouts are the secondary characters like Thompson and Thomson and Captain Haddock, who somehow seem absolutely perfect. Devoted fans will revel within the abundance of small details that reference the comics and suggest a real fascination with "Tintin" for the filmmakers' parts, but even viewers who have no idea a thing in relation to its the comics will thoroughly love this particular exciting adventure.

From Academy Award®-winning filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson comes the epic adventures of Tintin. Racing to uncover the secrets of a sunken ship which could hold a huge fortune -- but also an old curse -- Tintin and the loyal dog Snowy embark by using an action-packed journey round the world that critics are calling “fun to the whole family.”* *ABC-TV (Chicago)
