Not only did Tintin inhabit an adamantly 2-D universe, but he was manifestly not real. It was reported that Spielberg would use motion capture technology on his characters. My little French-English dictionary was a great help. Starting that year at Cannes, I read every single Tintin book, and even bought a Tintin and Snowy T-shirt. Sometimes a situation will require an entire page. They are drawn by the Belgian artist Hergé with elegant clarity (the "clean line" approach). Tintin's adventures come in book-length, their pages the size of old Life magazines. His yellow hair comes up to a quiff in the front. Tintin looks like a prepubescent to me, but is treated by everyone as sort of an honorary grownup. A rum-soaked old sea salt named Captain Haddock ( Andy Serkis) is often found nearby. Two maladroit Interpol inspectors named Thompson and Thomson ( Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) are often on the same cases. He is a newspaperman who rarely seems to go to the office but can usually be found globe-trotting on an unimaginable expense account, always accompanied by his gifted dog, Snowy. This Tintin (voiced by Jamie Bell in the film) is a piece of work.
"Zut!" So loved is he, I learn, that papers would rerun his old exploits even after the death of his creator, Hergé.
THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN BOOK FULL
A back page in full color is given over to comics, and half the page is devoted to Tintin. The beloved character … can we flash back? It is a morning in May at the Cannes Film Festival, and I am drinking my coffee in the sunlight and reading Nice-Matin, the regional paper.
