History

The television series was co-directed by Stéphane Bernasconi, unit directed by Peter Hudecki, and produced by Ellipse (France), and Nelvana (Canada), on behalf of the Hergé Foundation. It was the first television adaptation of Hergé's books for over twenty years (previously, the Belgian animation company Belvision had been responsible for their loose adaptations). Philippe Goddin, an expert in Hergé and Tintin acted as consultant to the producers. Writers for the series included Toby Mullally, Eric Rondeaux, Martin Brossolet, Amelie Aubert, Denise Fordham and Alex Boon. A television program is the content of television broadcasting. ...

Production

Traditional animation techniques were used on the series. The books were closely adhered to during all stages of production, with some frames from the original albums being transposed directly to screen. In the episodes Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon, 3D animation was used for the Moon rocket - an unusual step in 1989. The rocket was animated in 3D, each frame of the animation was then printed and recopied onto celluloid and hand painted in gouache, and laid onto a painted background. The rocket seen in the title sequence is animated using 3D techniques.

Artistically, the series chose a constant look, unlike the books (drawn over a course of 47 years, Hergé's style developed throughout from early works like The Blue Lotus and later ones such as Tintin and the Picaros). However, later televised episodes such as the Moon story and Tintin in America clearly demonstrate the artists' development during the course of the series. The quality of animation is good, yet it should be remembered that the series is over ten years old and produced on a television budget.

The series was filmed in English, with the animation timed to fit the English soundtrack. French-speaking viewers have found the French voices 'rushed' to fit the English timing^{[citation needed]}. Purists have also complained that French should have been the first language^{[citation needed]}. All visuals (road signs, posters and settings) remain in French. A purist is one who desires that a particular item remain true to its essence and free from adulterating or diluting influences. ...

The series is generally seen by fans as being a faithful adaptation of Hergé's books^{[citation needed]}. The changes that occurred have been accepted due to the potential audience. Some feel uncomfortable with the Canadian accent given to Tintin^{[citation needed]}, but it is a small quibble for what results in a highly faithful adaptation of Tintin's adventures which introduced many fans to the original books, as did the Belvision episodes generations earlier.

Changes from the books

Inevitably, certain areas of the stories posed difficulties for the producers, who had to adapt features of the books to a more modern young audience. But it must be said that this series was far more faithful to the books than Hergé's Adventures of Tintin, which had been made in the 1950s. A screenshot from Objective Moon Espionage A screenshot from The Crab with the Golden Claws Hergés Adventures of Tintin was an animated television series based on The Adventures of Tintin. ...

The most obvious change was that the books Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Tintin in the Congo and Tintin and Alph-Art were not adapted at all. Whilst Soviets and Alph-Art were left for obvious reasons, (the first was in an original black and white state, and the second was unfinished), Congo is a part of the French canon, but due to its unavailability in English at the time and questionable content, it was dropped from the series. Also, violence and death and the use of weapons were toned down or removed completely.

Haddock's penchant for whisky posed a problem for audience sensitivities. Whilst the original books did not promote alcohol, they featured it heavily, with much humour based around it and the results of drinking. However, in many countries where the producers hoped to sell the series, alcoholism is a sensitive issue. Therefore, international versions of the series make some alterations. Haddock is seen drinking, but not as heavily as in the books. The Crab with the Golden Claws is the only adventure where Haddock's drunken state is not reduced. In Tintin in Tibet, Haddock is seen taking a nip from a flask of whiskey in order to set up a scene in which Snowy is tempted to lap up some spilt whiskey and subsequently falls over a cliff. In Tintin and the Picaros, Haddock is the only person taking wine with dinner, foreshadowing the use of Calculus' tablets to "cure" the drunken Picaros. Haddock is also seen drinking in The Calculus Affair and in Explorers on the Moon, setting up the scene where he leaves the rocket in a drunken state. It should be noted that he does not hide the bottle in a book of Astronomy, like he did in the book, but keeps the bottle in the refrigerator, making it less obvious for young viewers that it's alcohol.

Throughout the books, Snowy is frequently seen to be "talking". It is understood that his voice is only heard through the "fourth wall", but this verbal commentary is completely absent in the television series. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Smaller changes were made due to the necessity for simplification or audience requirements. In The Calculus Affair, the Syldavian group who tries to snatch Professor Calculus from the Bordurians in the original book is removed for simplicity. Also, in the original book, Calculus was kidnapped earlier in the story. It's not clear why they made that change.

In The Red Sea Sharks, the original book dealt with the topic of modern slavery, but in the television episode was centred around smuggling of refugees. They weren't meant to be sold, but killed after handing over all their money. Furthermore, while the Africans in the book volunteered to be simply stokers for the ship that Captain Haddock has command of, the television version makes a point of having the characters doing more sophisticated work on the ship. The Red Sea Sharks (Coke en stock), is the nineteenth of The Adventures of Tintin, a series of classic comic-strip albums written and illustrated by Hergé, featuring young reporter Tintin as a hero. ...

In Tintin and the Picaros, Hergé presents a less naive Tintin who refuses to go with Haddock and Calculus to rescue Castafiore and the detectives, knowing it's a setup. He only joins them later, after his conscience gets the better of him. Many fans felt it was out of character for Tintin to refuse to go to South America. In the series however, Tintin is all for rescuing his friends and goes with Haddock and Calculus early in the adventure. Many consider this adventure one of the better adaptions. In the original comic, Tintin wore jeans throughout the book, which was in contrast with the plus-fours he had always worn previously. In the episode, his plus fours have returned. Tintin and the Picaros (Tintin et les Picaros) is one of The Adventures of Tintin, a series of classic comic-strip albums, written and illustrated by Belgian writer and illustrator Hergé, featuring young reporter Tintin as a hero. ...

Tintin in America was the most altered episode, amounting to almost a completely new story. The Native American aspect was completely removed, and the gangster element given the main focus. Bobby Smiles, in the book the head of a rival gang to Al Capone, becomes an 'employee' of Capone's in the televised episode. Artistically, the episode was produced to the same standard as the others, with backgrounds having greater detail and more interestingly filmed shots.

Music

The music and score for the series was composed by Ray Parker, Jim Morgan and Tom Szczesniak. It is generally regarded as an excellent score, fitting with the series well and providing enjoyable listening in its own right.
