I was never, and continue to be, not the biggest Tintin fan; I actually have no idea who Mr. Tin is, or what he's all about. I do know he's from Belgium (great waffles) and owns a white fox terrier named Snowy. Tintin first appeared as a comic strip created by Georges Rémi in 1929, which over time has been translated in over 80 languages, with over 350 million copies sold.
During WWII, the Nazis, who on top of committing genocide and other atrocities, also halted the strip for a while, even though Rémi was initially investigated to being a collaborator. Regardless of my limited knowledge, what matters is that Steven Spielberg recognizes and adores the Belgian character. Here's the first look at a motion captured Tintin (voiced by Jamie Bell):
