Explorers on the Moon
In 1991, a second animated series based upon "The Adventures of Tintin" was produced, this time as a collaboration between the French studio Ellipse and the Canadian animation company Nelvana. "Explorers on the Moon" was the fifteenth story to be adapted and was divided into two twenty-minute episodes. Directed by Stéphane Bernasconi, the series has been praised for being "generally faithful" to the original comics, to the extent that the animation was directly adopted from Hergé's original panels.
