I would think Spielberg decided to do a Tintin film after quite a lot of research into whether author Hergé was truly an anti-Semite. Or at least an conscious and overt one. Since it appears not to be the case, we get to enjoy a nice movie in a style of a comic book.
Stars of this film are beautifully rendered computer imaginations of Tintin and dog Snowy. I found Snowy particularly adorable while being amazingly dog-like. Tintin is too baby-faced to be handsome, but the character is brave enough and too surprisingly familiar with violence (guns and punching) to be an innocent boy.
Wikipedia says Tintin follows a scouting ethic. Further research.. it seems only 4 countries allow scout promises without reference to 'God': France, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Israel. Hergé's Belgium now notably absent from this list. Well, at least there are four rather than zero.
