HERGE'S ADVENTURES OF TIN-TIN: Objective Moon (Belvision/Tele-Hachette)

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.

This series varied widely from the original books, often changing whole plots.
In Objective Moon, The trip to the moon was all about rescuing Snowy, who was trapped in the (now white) test rocket. Captain Haddock's whiskey is replaced with coffee, and when he is pulled into orbit, he is not drunk, but his feet are hurting, so he takes his metal boots off (although the lack of pressure would damage his feet!). The tank is replaced with a hovering car called "the moonmobile". Professor Calculus, Haddock, and the Thompsons explore the dark side of the moon in it, but get caved in by a meteor shower. Snowy rescues them by giving them dynamite (the wick burns, despite the lack of air!). Jorgen and Wolff survive, and at the end, the rocket crashes in the mountains.

Originally shown in 5 minute cliff hanger episodes, this is a 'movie format' version of the series. I am still trying to track down the individual episodes so if anyone has them, please message me. The episodes were last transmitted on Channel 4 TV in 1991 in their original 5 minute format but I have lost my off-air VHS recordings regrettably. But I am seeking them all if anyone can help me.......and pref UNEDITED with all the cliff hangers and re-caps in each episode complete......

I hate how these are dumbed down to be more kid friendly. The comics had a lot more peril. Alcohol wasn't even an issue; both Tintin and Haddock enjoyed an occasional spirit. There were gun battles and car crashes and constant danger. I read these comics as a kid and grew up juuuuust fine. It drives me crazy how much these cartoons deviate from the comics for the sake of sensitive audiences. The 90's cartoon wasn't much better, either.
