Review:

It's a shame that the Academy of Films changed the qualifications of what can be considered for the Best Animated Feature category. Because even though I loved both Rango & Puss In Boots, there is a very good chance that this could have won. The animation style is very unique & really pays homage to the cartoon & books of the TinTin universe. The camera shots throughout the film are incredible, possibly the best in an animated feature. On the down side, the fight scenes become very repetitive & very predictable, but I'm not going to look to far into that because it is an animated feature. Maybe a little bit too epic for an animated children's film. Was very Pirates Of The Caribbean Esq. And seriously, can they not make a children's film that doesn't involve a ship & pirates? Let's try to be creative here movie makers. Love Nick Frost & Simon Pegg as Thomson & Thompson. Andy Serkis is very good playing a human character. In the world of TinTin I'm amazed at how easily grown men are willing to shoot at a teenager or whatever TinTin is. Maybe he ages like an Asian & is actually 45.
