It's bad when images from a movie directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Peter Jackson call to mind those crudely animated Empire carpet commercials, but such is life for The Adventures of Tintin. The motion-capture spectacle (with Jamie Bell voicing the titular adventurer) arrives in theaters this Christmas, and looks about as comfortable in the uncanny valley as The Polar Express. This is not a good thing. Still, cute dog! Click through for another look at Tintin and his trusty canine companion, Snowy.
Tintin hits theaters on Dec. 23.
