The Big Sceen Adventures of Tintin

It appears that Dreamworks is undergoing the beginnings of a Tintin film. As of now, it isn't clear if it'll be a live action or an animated film, although I'm personally hoping that it will be an old school (ergo: 2d) form of animation.

Tintin is the creation of Belgian cartoonist Hergé (Georges Prosper Rémi). He and his dog Snowy Milou get into adventures around the world along with several recurring characters (which is somewhat ironic because at the time that Hergé pitched Tintin to publishers he had never been outside of Belgium). The comics is very popular, it has been translated into many languages and has had several animated seasons (which were all pretty well done, IMHO).

So far, I can't imagine how Tintin would be if not in 2d, but I guess it's too early to speculate on anything at this point (we don't even know if the movie will be based on an existing story or not). I hope we'll get tidbits regarding the developments on the film soon.
