The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

An adventurous journalist, two dimwitted detectives, an alcoholic sea captain, Herge's 20th century masterworks. Tintin has long awaited a film adaptation and what better time to do so than now. Steven Speilberg the director of such films as E.T, Jurassic Park and Jaws, managed to transfer his skills to an animation triumphantly. Despite being panned by the Guardian the film still appeared to me as one of the best of the year and I expect will also appeal to the rest of the younger generation. I know this may be a weird thing to comment on but the scene transitions were the best I've ever seen, things such as going from Captain Haddock's hand to the side of a mountain or zooming into a bubble to see an overview of the town. I agree that CGI was the best call as the casting directors would never have found people who looked exactly like the classic comic book characters. Nick Frost and Simon Pegg did the best job of voice acting I have ever seen and suited the characters brilliantly. The film ends leaving the doors wide open for a sequel and it definitely deserves one. To see a trailer click this link.
