Well, this weekend the real thing comes to Gabriola's number one film venue, The Roxy.
It’s the third annual Tintin Film Festival at the Roxy and it’s a fundraiser for the Gabriola Elementary School Library. Roxy host Steve is going all out this year with what he describes as an "extra heavy duty, fun for all ages, full-tilt boogie film festival".
Starting off this year’s Tintin Festival Saturday afternoon are two full length Tintin animated film adventures and a live reading between the shows.
Sunday will be Steve's big, knock your socks off, tie your undies in a knot, kick out the jams fun-a-thon especially designed for the little ones. There will be an animated Tintin adventure to start with at 2pm, followed by a live skit with Tintin, Snowy, and a host of your favourite characters at 3pm. Then there will be another film adventure, and new this year, a photo opportunity for kids of all ages with their favourite Tintin characters, in the Roxy and outside in the Roxy parking lot. Anyone can have their picture taken with the characters and one of two or three amazing vintage automobiles similar to those in your favourite Tintin adventures!
So bring your family, your cameras and a small donation and all the neighbourhood kids you can muster -- it’ll be fun and it won’t hurt a bit. Come Saturday and your donation will cover both days -- how cool is that?! As Steve always says, Gabriola does provide!
How many of the characters can you name?
