The Adventures of Tintin

[Punisher Rising]

This movie looks like it could be pretty good. I always liked the cartoon as a kid and this has a lot of talent behind it too, so I'll definitely consider seeing it.

 

[The Navigator]

That poster is pretty nice.

A little tip of the hat to The Last Crusade there.

 

[Punisher Rising]

Very nice poster.

The poster reminded me of the last Narnia movie.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

I would have liked a classic Tintin book cover more but I already have a negative feeling about this movie so....

 

[Punisher Rising]

I haven't seen a Tintin cartoon in ages nor read the books, but I'm liking how the movie looks so far.

It doesn't look as uncanny valley as it did before, they actually do look more like cariactures.

I still think they would have been better off either just using actors with makeup, or skipping the mocap and making the characters fully animated and closer to the original character designs. They basically spent $200 million to get the same effect as the Popeye movie, but less effective.

whoa.....

 

[Secret Fawful]

Uncanny valley officially defeated.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Lookin' good.

 

[TheVileOne]

Uncanny valley officially defeated.

Heard that before.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Heard that before.

Uncanny valley officially defeated.

And now you heard it again.

 

[TheVileOne]

Its not defeated unless people besides message board posters actually believe it as well.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Its not defeated unless people besides message board posters actually believe it as well.

Really? That's a pretty bad argument, mate. Message board posters are people too. We are the general public. And while I'll admit it's premature to say it's defeated until we see the movie, those pictures look pretty damn good.

 

[TheVileOne]

Saying it is defeated because you say so is not an argument at all mate.

And I'm not your mate, pal.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Saying it is defeated because you say so is not an argument at all mate.

And I'm not your mate, pal.

Okay, man.

 

[Two-Face]

Looking good! I like the poster.

 

[dark_b]

you can not have uncanny valley with stylized looking characters. its only used for photorealism

 

[Hordakfan]

Face it, this is NOT uncanny valley folks! they aren't replicating real life human beings, they are replicating comic and cartoon characters. Now if replicating a real human being is uncanny valley like you seen on Polar Express.

Spielberg and Jackson were not impressed by Zemeckis's stuff as they are making cartoon characters come to life. These Mocap people are similar to the same ones from Monster House and that was an excellent movie as that movie conquered the uncanny Valley and had no dead eyes.

This IS NOT from Imagemovers, it's from WETA as WETA knows what they are doing on this movie.

WETA conquered Mocap uncanny valley with LOTR, King Kong, Avatar and Rise of the Apes.
