A marvelous little movie. Hard to believe a Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg movie got so little love. Hard to figure what the average movie goer really wants to see these days. If I had to guess it is a bit difficult to make a move that straddles animation/computer generated vs real people. That tweener movie like this just doesn't appeal to people. They either want real people in a computer generated world or animated people in an animated world. Not both.
Plus I imagine while this was a boyhood fantasy to make this movie it probably didn't translate to boys today. Boys today get their fantasy from video games like Halo and such so it would be hard to say a boy of today would really find Tin Tin all that exciting. So really you end up with parents dragging their kids to movie they fondly remember in print and the kids have no clue.
In the end, good movie although some parts really could have been left on the floor (is it easy to cut millions of dollars of animation time?). Interesting to see if more are given the green light...
