Yesterday several clips from The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn were released along with a few “making-of” bits. These are carefully chosen press pieces so they, of course, wet the appetite without giving away too much of what’s to come. The little I see certainly keeps me excited about what this film might have to offer.

I’m curious what Spielberg’s first animated venture will actually be. I see it going one of two ways: either an exciting adventure film that parallels the best of Pixar or a forgettable money-maker with delights we’ve seen before and nothing special in the way of visual innovation. I really have no idea what this will end up being.

Many more clips after the jump.
