I have always been a huge Tintin fan, and was a bit worried when I first heard about this movie adaptation… I think the trailer has confirmed my fears. There is just somthing creepy about this particular form of 3D animation, an article I read awhile back explained it best:

 

“A theory called the “uncanny valley” says we tend to feel attracted to inanimate objects with human traits, the way a teddy bear or a rag doll seems cute.

Our affection grows as an object looks more human. But if it looks too human, we suddenly become repulsed.

Instead of seeing what’s similar, we notice the flaws — and the motionless eyes or awkward movements suddenly make us uncomfortable”

I will stick to my Tintin comics and the animated series thanks!
