Tintin was my favorite as a kid, and this movie looks perfect. It's one of the best stories in the series too. I can't wait.
And by the way, CG is just as much art as anything else, especially the highly detailed stuff like this. People who eyhate CG are generally the worst sort of people. They are the kind of people who would, using the same arguments, complain about great painters simply because photographs were invented.
The original Tintin took on some pretty serious and dark stuff. The cartoon style is very much the opposite of what it was, and that's one of the major things that made it so interesting. Herge was a cartoonist, yes, but he always liked the super-realistic and accurate backgrounds Tintin was known for. Also, I personally think the work they've done on the movie looks incredible. The characters are not "realistic" looking at all. They are exactly as cartoony as the originals... with texture. It looks great.
So to all the naysayers, I'm flipping you off right now. Right at the screen.
