Digital dog success for Weta

The Wire-haired Fox Terrier is the big winner in The Adventures of Tintin film.  New Zealand’s Weta Workshop has worked its magic in creating a digital version of Snowy, Tintin’s loyal dog.

Tintin is a young reporter with a nose for news.  He was created by Georges Remi under the pen name of Hergé in 1929, appearing in a series of children’s stories/comic books that particularly appealed to young boys.  Investigating crime and finding the culprits were everyday activities for Tintin and Snowy.

It is great to see another dog take center-stage in the film world this year.  This official movie trailer, courtesy of YouTube, gives you an introduction to Snowy (and Tintin) and the wonderful work of Weta Workshop.
