Jackson said the films would stay true to the designs on the original characters but the characters wouldn't exactly look like cartoons.

"Instead, we're making them look photo-realistic - the fibres of their clothing, the pores of their skin and each individual hair. They look exactly like real people - but real Herge people," said Jackson.

Spielberg added: "We want Tintin's adventures to have the reality of a live-action film, and yet Peter and I felt that shooting them in a traditional live-action format would simply not honour the distinctive look of the characters and world that Herge created."
