The original 5 minute episodes are shown here as double length episodes, screened by Channel 4 in 1990 and taken from VHS video recordings. 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 1959 to 1963, with 104 five-minute episodes produced. The series was adapted by Charles Shows and Greg, the editor of Tintin magazine, produced by Raymond Leblanc (who launched Tintin magazine), and directed by Ray Goossens.
In The Crab with the Golden Claws, Tintin sees Herbert Dawes being drowned and decides to investigate. In this version Tintin and Haddock already know each other, whilst the original book is their first meeting. What's more, Haddock is being drugged with actual drugs, rather than whiskey. And diamonds are being smuggled in the tins rather than opium. They have slightly different exploits in the desert. They are attacked by a desert raider named Ahmed the Terrible, and later by the pilot of the seaplane. And the ending has been re-written.
WOW! How many voice that one guy has? I forgot he name, but he did Boris from Rocky and Bullwinkle!
