Unofficial Tintin title sequence

The Adventures of Tintin from James Curran on Vimeo.

I grew up reading Tintin over and over again and it's a very nostalgic time in my life, which is why this video is such a delight. It's amazing what a circle can be.

Also I've had many debates about which is better Asterix or Tintin. I've never read Asterix, but there is something inherently universal about Tintin and as you grow up learning more about history and how the modern world evolved, you realise the things in the stories that you missed out on as a kid.

My favourite painting at the Paris 1911 - Sydney 2011 exhibition. The colours are very Sydney.
