Peter Jackson's comment from a while back-- something like, "they'll look like Herge people, but with every pore on their skin visible"-- give one pause. Let's hope the animation tests of the last year came up with something better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-62266287991558031442009-01-27T16:46:00.000-08:002009-01-27T16:46:00.000-08:001956?I was seven.

Living in a cuckoo clock chalet-type boarding school in the Swiss Alps, with my brother.<BR/><BR/>Our parents had stuck us in there because our father (the guy whose Christmas cards I put up here around the yuletide) was in Europe painting for a year ... and the Swiss boarding school was his alternative to killing us with his bare hands.<BR/><BR/>Which he was close to doing because Brother and I were riding around with Dad and our mother in the back of a VeeDub and were not good travellers. We whined in a pretty obnoxious way, and our parents thought their heads would explode if they didn't put us someplace they weren't.<BR/><BR/>That turned out to be this boarding school run by two little old ladies high in the mountains. And in this boarding school, I came across my first Tintin comic, hardbound, in French.<BR/><BR/>I knew how to read a little bit of French then. And I was entranced. I'd never seen a comic book that fat or ... what's the word? ... <B>complex</B> before.Steve Huletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537689111433326847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-71014132670258934682009-01-27T10:09:00.000-08:002009-01-27T10:09:00.000-08:00You want to see Tintin in Live action film? 2 of t...You want to see Tintin in Live action film? 2 of them were done in the 60s, "Tintin et le mystere de la Toison d'or" ( Tintin and the Golden Fleece mystery) and "Tintin et les oranges bleues".<BR/><BR/>The Toison d'or was the most popular of the 2 and I've seen it many times as a kid.

Like, a thousand or something? Did they have cars back then? What was it like before television? Oh, and that's when you had to have a Zoetrope to see an animated film, wasn't it?<BR/><BR/>Hehe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-64694473338473611972009-01-26T22:57:00.000-08:002009-01-26T22:57:00.000-08:00if it looks anything like Polar Express or Beowulf...if it looks anything like Polar Express or Beowulf then that would be a travesty.<BR/><BR/>But... one can always hope.
