Some Tintin fans show some SERIOUS love.

This Tintin sculpture, calleed Tintin Wears the Pants, is one of two by artist Mutio. The second is called Tintin Drinks Champagne.

Here’s what he has to say about this one: When I was looking for Tintin figurines, there were so many I wanted, but of course they were also very expensive. That’s when it dawned on me to make my own and so I basically picked a comic panel that looked simple enough to do. I also found it kind of funny since Tintin isn’t a big drinker and here we have him popping open a bottle of champagne to share with Snowy(Milou).

Yeah – no big deal. Just made my own Tintin figurine, like anyone else.

Modesty and talent.

Wow. Stumbled down the Pinterest Rabbit Hole today and there were so many fantastic homages to our favorite Boy Reporter.My favorites were on the Pinterest board, TinTin by Michelle Pritchard.

For cample, the Tintin party favors above. Or, these Tintin notebooks that she made for her son’s birthday party! So fantastic!!

Hopefully, she also made awesome Tintin cupcakes.

Or Tintin lollies?

Yes – Tintin cake. Yup.

From there, I had to look for more. And there was plenty to find on Pinterest.

Tintin Cookies!

Tintin Post-it War!

And part deux.

Of course, the most pinned item on Pinterest? I saw him time and time again – A cutie that is fully worth reposting.

Clearly, Tintin fans are also Walking Dead fans. Who knew there was such crossover?

Do you think Tintin is contemplating why there was no Oscar nomination?? (Yup. We love Tintin Fan Art. via.)

The nominations are out, and The Adventures of Tintin has been snubbed. Well, there is one award, for Best Music Score.

After a Golden Globe victory, the film received no animation or visual effects nominations.

According to New Zealand Media, animators behind the film think the Academy has made a mistake. “I think that was a really big oversight… Not to recognise those achievements,” says Joe Letteri, senior visual effects supervisor for Weta Digital.

Mr Letteri’s Weta team was responsible for the Tintin motion-capture animation, and he has a theory about why they missed out.

“The visual effects branch didn’t recognise it, because they thought it was animation, and the animation branch didn’t recognise it because it was using performance capture and visual effects techniques.” (via)

Before you feel too bad for Spielberg, his War Horse epic did receive a Best Picture nomination.

Still, no love for the Captain, our favorite reporter, and our favorite pooch.

Fans, weigh in. What do you think?
