A childhood favorite brought to the big screen in a very appealing fashion. Minus the unimpressive opening title, which reeked of cheesy plagiarism in with more than a passing similarity to the opening title track of 'Catch Me If You Can', The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is a great piece of entertainment which viewers will be forgiven for not thinking of as an animated film.

Computer graphics have progressed so far that realism is not too far behind reality. Technical prowess aside, just super talented CG isn't what makes this so engrossing.

Tintin the animation delivers the charm and nuance that captivated an entire generation through its comics and this offering is sure to continue that pull that has had hypnotized many a reader. The sheer creativity of the scene swipes to the constantly engaging, moving narrative does justice to what Tin Tin comics is all about.

This is a definite must watch. And now to peruse the various Tintin comic selection online and memorabilia.
