Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn Trailer

I have mixed feelings about this. I realize no physical actor can possibly look like Tintin or many of the other characters without live-action Dick Tracy levels of latex on their face, but the mo-cap CGI is all over the Uncanny Valley again (if better than the dead-eyed examples from Robert Zemetkis' Polar Express ect). Why couldn't they have just done it as straight hand drawn animation though?

Ah well, at least the release of the movie means I'll be able to pick up the animated Nelvana series from Amazon now.
