Adventures of Tintin (1 Viewer)

I remember in the 1970s as well as early 1980s seeing the adventures of Tintin on the french channel as well as TV Ontario. I purchased the 1990 version, but it is not the same as compare to TV airing.

According to IMDB there was a Belgian animated Tintin series from 1957-1964:

Plus three Belgian/French animated movies from 1964-1972.

According to IMDB these are the only animated Tintin productions predating the 1991-1992 TV series, which has been more widely seen and is, apparently, available on DVD. I'm curious to see English-subtitled or English-dubbed versions of the older productions. I haven't checked yet to see if any are on YouTube.

Hi Vic, I was fortunate that Tintin was showed on a french channel in the 1970s. The tintin show was all in french, but it was still interesting to watch as a kid.

I picked up the 1990s dvd set as it was good to watch, especially after so many years of not seeing Tintin.

The Tele Hachette / Belvision versions of Tintin are legendary here in the UK where they were screened for several years in gripping 5 minute or 10 minute chunks daily with exciting voiceovers on the BBC before the News.
In the 80's we had VHS releases of most of them but they were edited together into feature length versions.
C4 were the last ones to show the original ones quite some time ago.
The 3 movies are out on dvd here .

I've transferred the videos to dvd but without the cliffhanger episode endings its not the same and I'd love to see those versions properly again but I suspect the newer duller versions supercede them in the same way the classic ITC version of Rupert the Bear has been invisible since the mid 70's thanks to newer versions.

Hopefully in a few years some enterprising video company will gain access to the original cartoons although I suspect the episodic versions dubbed into English might be lost or incomplete by then.
