Based on the series of books The Adventures of Tintin by Herg, the film is produced by Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Kathleen Kennedy.Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s animated 3D adaptation of Belgian comic book hero Tintin premiered on the red carpet in Brussels on Saturday.Tintin has no superhero alter ego, just an unquenchable curiosity and a white terrier named Snowy who more than matches his master in resourcefulness and pluck..
The movie’s most contentious feature, for some viewers, will be Spielberg’s decision to use performance capture technology, in which live actors are recorded digitally, then layered with computer animation to create finished characters and sets.
The animation was handled by the WETA visual-effects house of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ director Peter Jackson, who produced ‘The Adventures of Tintin’.
