“Tintin and Snowy go Hollywood”
I remember the Tintin books from my elementary school days. The teachers tried to pretend like different standards applied and the Tintin books didn’t belong in the same pile of reading material as Batman, Spider-Man, or any of my other favorite characters. But I knew better. These were comic books, same as the rest of them. They were just much more artfully crafted and elegantly presented.
I loved these books when I was a kid, and I hated the cartoon show because it was a quickly produced throwaway thing. It did not convey the elegance and grandeur of the source material.
I was fortunate enough to see a 10-minute preview of the new movie The Adventures of Tintin during TIFF this past season and this movie looks like the most ground-breaking animation since people started knowing who the eff Pixar is. It totally looks like it’s going to take the newly-developing art of comics-to-screen adaptations to a whole new level. And if this is successful, we’re one step closer to a Pixar Spider-Man movie.
I’m dying to see this movie and thanks to my very good friends at Paramount Pictures, I’m going to see it almost a month early…
…and I want to take you with me to see Toronto’s first look at the new Tintin movie tomorrow night (November 30) at AMC Dundas Square.
