I feel your distaste for mocap animation in general, but didn’t find it all that terrible here. The difference between this and, say, Robert Zemeckis’ awful work with the technique is that they manage to breathe life into his characters and generally bring an eye for detail to the proceedings

In a way, I understand why they chose not to imitate Hergé’s clear line. It would have been an exercise in futility to try to capture the visual magic of the comics on film, I think (all previous attempts have been uniformly dreadful for what that’s worth).
