In less than one week, Tintin will return to America!

Much has changed since Tintin was last here. Al Capone is now history. He’d be pressed to find a hostage tribe of Indians. And the grand city of New York that once paraded him through the streets doesn’t even have a clue who he is. But soon Tintin will be seen in more US cities than he’s ever been to before, and visit them all in one day.The movie that the rest of the world has loved so far is about to come to America.

Here’s a short video of Steven Spielberg on the medium. Years after this movie has been anounced, they are still throwing the same spin on news related to the Tintin movie. But Spielberg is ready for them and knows what to say. I’m with him, sincerely hoping that the question about motion capture will be moot soon.

In all honesty, I think we may be expecting a bit too much of America if we think that just because Tintin has a movie out here, even a big movie, America will suddenly love Herge’s comics and the world will be one big happy family of Tintin fans. But at the very least, hopefully now that Tintin is coming out when we tell our friends about him they won’t mistake him for a dog! My fear is that we may have to tell people instead ”there was a movie off of him a while ago” and they’ll answer ”oh yeah..I heard a little bit about that.” And we’re right back where we started. But even if America stays in the dark, we know who he is, and we can count ourselves amoung those lucky enough to be devout fans.

    I think people from America will go see it, because Spielberg did it. Big names often draw big crowds, y’know.

    New tv spot with a little new footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLU-A3CXwnI
    And another tv spot with Tintin saying “Great snakes!” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8RblKREvt0&feature=relmfu

  4. Trix Says:

    I love the TV spot when he syas “Great Snakes!” and “Tin-tense”, and “Tin-credible”…I am absolutely pumped to see this movie! If only it was coming out sooner, I still have to wait 10 days!

  5. Trix Says:

    Well, he doesn’t actually say “Tin-tense” etc, but it is actually quite clever.

    So, I’m not the only one who has the dog problem. I’ve been telling my dad about Tintin and he always asks, “Rin Tin Tin?”

  7. Proman Says:

    I can’t wait to see it. Literally. I can’t wait to see the film. It’s hard. It’s like I am always aware that the movie is coming and I can’t wait.

    It will be awesome :D !

    Another TV spot on the official Tintin website;

    http://www.us.movie.tintin.com/#/main/video/holidayfun

    He says Great Snakes, there is some rhyming in it, and it sounds like the movie is up for a Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film and several other awards.

    Just to let you guys know all of the kids in my school have started reading the comics and my dad was laughing because he said i was a “trend starter” which I
    suppose i am since even my best friend hadn’t heard of tintin until the film and he’s quite knowledgeble about comics like asterix and tintin

  14. conor age 12 from ireland Says:

    PS. My mam said I loved tintin when I was 5 years old!

    If anyone can get the plans, or if we can get as many stills of the ship Karaboudjan as possible, I’d really like to have these references on hand. I have decided my future model railroad will have ot have a wharf with a Karaboudjan on it. Yes, the ship would probably scale out to somthign ridiculous like 5 or 8 feet by my reckoning, but it would be a FINE model indeed!!!
