HarperCollins Publishers, Weta and Moulinsart have announced the release of The Art of the Adventures of Tintin, a new app for the iPad. The app includes the entire text of the book that inspired the film, plus visual, audio and video enhancements.

Based on content from the book, The Art of the Adventures of Tintin by Chris Guise, the first app of it's kind features 360° Immersive Environments, 360° Turnaround Characters, Video Clips and Exclusive new content, all integrated into the story of how this movie was created. Readers can see the transformation of concept illustrations into final shots from the film and listen to the artists and filmmakers, including Oscar Winners Joe Letteri and Richard Taylor, who worked on the film. Tintin fans can also enjoy never before published footage of Hergé working in his studio, as well as never seen before concept art and interactive features.

Moulinsart, the official organisation that looks after the world of Tintin, has contributed an introductory chapter on the comic's creator Georges Remi, aka Hergé, and has kindly provided video clips and original artwork for reproduction in the app.
