Game for a good old fashioned adventure filled with fun, danger, friendship, and a little awesome companion dog by the name of Snowy? We take a comprehensive look at Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn with the second trailer and newly-released images from the fully animated motion-capture 3-D film.

The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, the fully animated motion-capture 3-D film directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Peter Jackson, has quite a showing at the Comic-Con, capturing many attention for the CGI adaptation of legendary Belgian artist Georges "Hergé" Remi's timeless comic strips, "The Adventures of Tintin".

While the "uncanny valley" effect will undoubtedly be in full examination by the time the film gets released (as a result of the disastrous box-office returns of Mars Needs Moms in March), we remained rather hopeful for the film with Spielberg in his element and on the strength of the collaborative creative efforts behind the film.

With a screenplay by notable talents like Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, and Peter Jackson on board as producer, the film packs more behind-the-scene punch than the conventional Christmas blockbuster. Jamie Bell will be lending his voice as the world-famous (not quite for US, unfortunately) protagonist, Tintin, with Andy Serkis (as Captain Haddock), Daniel Craig (as villain Red Rackham), as well as Nick Frost and Simon Pegg (as detective duo, Thomson and Thompson, respectively) rounding up the star-studded cast.

Check out the second trailer of the film right after the jump.
