The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

The Adventures of Tintin is a European flavored, animated, version of Indiana Jones.

Steven Spielberg, one of the greatest director's in Hollywood history tackles motion capture animation with the same level of expertise that he puts into everything else that bears his name.

From the opening credits, that are very reminiscent of the opening titles for Catch Me If You Can, Spielberg takes you on a global adventure that is fun and exciting, with all the production values you would expect from a master film maker.

Go see it!

Rating - The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn ***stars

Notes - I do not understand how Tintin was passed over for a Best Animated Motion Picture nomination and Kung Fu Panda 2 received one. I also don't know how long the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences can continue to ignore the work of actor Andy Serkis. This year alone he played Captain Haddock in Tintin and Caesar, in Rise of the Planet of the Apes to perfection. And his roles in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and King Kong were simply groundbreaking. Look for him again later this year when he returns as Gollum in The Hobbit.
