Snowy and Tintin Going to Hollywood by Valentina Bellicova
After languoring in benign neglect for a quarter of a century, Snowy and his intrepid Belgium cub reporter are going to Hollywood!
Steven Spielberg's Dreamworks, a division of Viacom, have recently announced that a movie featuring the famous cartoon character Tintin and his loyal dog Snowy is in production and will be likely playing at a theater in your neighborhood within two years or less.
No word yet as to whether the movie will be in cartoon form or whether real actors will be cast. In my view, it does not matter. I have always been a fan of Tintin and Snowy. Intelligent and entertaining, Tintin and Snowy were the brainchild of Georges Remi, better known as Herge.
Herge was a Belgium cartoonist and worked for various newspapers starting right out of the chute after graduating from high school. His altar ego, Tintin is a cub reporter who finds himself on one improbable adventure after another. Whether in Soviet Russia, China, Tibet or the Congo, a cast of evil characters obliges our hero in his quest to fight the bad, and in true heroic fashion, uphold the good.
Snowy is Tintin's dog. Of indeterminate breed, Snowy is so named because of his color and it could be said that he lends a whole new depth of meaning to the saying that a dog is man's best friend, for indeed, were it not for his timely presence at the most critical moments, Tintin's life and limb would long have met their final demise. Snowy is smart, intuitive, brave and takes on human proportions in the reader's mind.
It is no surprise that Tintin and Snowy appealed to Spielberg. The rich cast of characters and locations as fashioned by Herge would be the equivalent of a candy store for a kid and Spielberg is a fascinating kid himself! I see another series of the likes of Indiana Jones, only this time, instead of the professorial Indy it will be the intrepid Tintin and his loyal dog Snowy who will keep us entertained, laughing and in rapt suspense for the whole ride! In the meantime you can go to Amazon and pick up the complete works of Herge's 24 books of Tintin's Adventures.
