Hergé's Adventures of Tintin was an animated television series based on Hergé's popular comic book series, The Adventures of Tintin. The series was produced by Belvision and aired from 1958 to 1962, with 104 five-minute episodes produced. The series was adapted by Charles Shows and Greg, the editor of Tintin magazine, and directed by Ray Goossens.
Comparisons with the books
This series varied widely from the original books, often changing whole plots. For instance, in the book Red Rackham's Treasure, Tintin and his friends explore an uninhabited island, while in the adaptation in this series they are attacked by "savages", and Captain Haddock plays a leading part in The Black Island, whereas he did not appear in the original book.
Most fans of the original books prefer the later television series The Adventures of Tintin as it is truer to the original books.[citation needed]
Broadcasts and releases
- This series has aired in repeats on non-network syndication in the United States from 1963 to 1971. Several video releases were made, in both English and French. No DVD set has been released, though The Calculus Case was released on DVD as a full length film.
