It would be a great way for an Octogenarian Harrison Ford to do new Indiana Jones zezzes.
It reminded me of the Raiders Of The Lost Ark adventure. I need to research and see if it's straight up the same as the TinTin it might be based on.

I Liked TinTin
The uncanny valley didn't bother me because the expressiveness has made it far less uncanny. Plus it had that Spielberg -lets -get-this-story-moving-and-never-stop style.

I enjoyed Tintin too, though I thought it could have been better. The group of little kids behind us really enjoyed it; they just laughed and laughed. I didn't feel any "uncanny valley" effect either. I have all the Tintin books and I thought the movie was very faithful to them. They combined a couple of the books' plots for the movie storyline.
You removed your query about a TAG dinner in Seattle for the Con. March. Maybe. I'll be operating out of Oklahoma. A solid three months of rent free existence with a drive to make myself a pure ebay independent artist. We'll see how flush I am with that business strategy.
It's awesome what I've stripped myself down to for the move. I'll post a couple of before and after shots eventually.
TAG dinner in Seattle! Yes!
Thanks for the Tintin owner note about the script. One improvement would have been less lapses in gravity and a general feeling of mass. Not always but often enough to be annoying
Was going to re-post the TAG dinner query in an independent post with some kind of cool graphic, instead of under the Tintin post to make sure everyone read it, but oh well.
Dudes!
I saw T-T in the theater. My memory is of one long, antic motion blur, with disturbing closeups of what looked like living human flesh stapled to talking vinyl toys....
I guess the uncanny valley bugged me (my nieces were not super-impressed either).
Even the frame you posted will give me nightmares tonight.
Surely Tintin was not as disturbing as the old "Gumby" or "Davey and Goliath" cartoons!
Haha. I agree with Marty's description. And what was going on with the models anyways? They look very exaggerated in some places, (which would be fine,) and then they mix that with hyper-realistic textures. Just creeps me out.
Thanks for all the feedback from theater goers. It may make all the differnce in the world that I saw the film in 2d on my big TV. Als nothing like HD. Netflix streaming. That may take a lot of the weird edges off the experience.
Oh, I should clarify that I have not seen it, but was referring to the style it appears to be, which I have seen before.
I thought the movie was fine, but I think I would have liked it a lot better if it was cell animated... the cartoony aspects of the characters would have made a bit more sense that way and it would have felt more like Herge.
I really liked those detectives.
I remember reading a Tintin in grade school. TT was in the desert , dying of thirst. He learns somehow that a stone in his mouth will cause saliva to form. Helping relieve his thirst. I probably experimented with a rock in my mouth at the next recess.
