Thiruvananthapuram: Thanks to the efforts of a bunch of creative animators, Tintin, the world famous comic strip hero, sported a Kerala look, bringing cheer to scores of die hard aficionados of this endearing character. Late last month the animators from Toonz Animation Academy and Vismaya Max Animation Studio recreated this endearing character at a workshop organised at the Alliance Francaise de Trivandrum.

It was conducted as part of an exhibition, titled ‘Tintin in Pune,’ featuring drawings of the students of Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Fine Arts, Pune. Originally these pictures were displayed in Pune last year to commemorate the birth centenary of Herge, the creator of Tintin.
