The Seven Crystal Balls
In 1969, the animation company Belvision Studios, which had produced the 1956–57 television series "Hergé's Adventures of Tintin", released its first feature-length animated film, "Tintin and the Temple of the Sun", adapted from the "Seven Crystal Balls"-"Prisoners of the Sun" story arc. Produced by Raymond Leblanc and directed by Eddie Lateste, it was written by Lateste, the cartoonist Greg, Jos Marissen, and Laszló Molnár. Music was by François Rauber and Zorrino's song was composed by Jacques Brel. Lofficier and Lofficier commented that the part of the film based on "The Seven Crystal Balls" "suffers from being overly condensed for timing reasons".
