Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg has tried his hand at a variety of genres, from science fiction to action, including historical drama and even animated films, or rather the performance capture method used for Les Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.
At the screening of the film produced by Peter Jackson (who’s still working on the sequel!) at Gulli tonight, we invite you to try to identify 10 of ET’s dad movies just by looking at their first image!

A long-term project
Steven Spielberg has been a fan of Hergé’s work since 1981, when a journalist compared Indiana Jones to Tintin. After acquiring the rights to the comic in 1984, the director has written numerous scripts and has been hesitant to make a movie (animation, live-action, etc.). After years of work, he finally chose to “catch a performance.”
performance capture
That’s why Steven Spielberg’s film was made using “performance capture”, a revolutionary method in terms of animation. No extra decorations needed with this tool! All filming takes place in a studio, with actors wearing costumes covered in digital sensors that allow computer software to reproduce them identically in computer-generated images.
Multiple adaptations
Contrary to its title, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is not a simple adaptation of Hergé’s eponymous album. Indeed, the film combines elements from three albums: A crab with golden claws, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham’s Treasure.
