Based on the long-running and internationally popular series of comic books by Belgian artist Georges Rémi (under the pen name of Hergé), the series follows a young Beglian reporter named Tintin.

Here’s a great follow-up as she talks to Steven Spielberg about the making of “Tintin.” Steven Spielberg says there was only one reason to make his new “The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn” with the cutting-edge performance-capture technology that James Cameron used on “Avatar.” “It was based on my respect for the art of Hergé and wanting to get as close to that art as I could,” says the director, referring to Tintin’s author-illustrator, who created the international blockbuster graphic novel series (200 million copies in print) starring intrepid cub reporter Tintin, and his irrepressible canine companion, Snowy, as they venture through the pre-WWII world. “Hergé wrote about fictional people in a real world, not in a fantasy universe,” Spielberg said.
