 | | As for the estate of Hergé, all the rights he controlled were ceded to Ellipse and Nelvana Studios, who are producing a series based on The Adventures of Tintin for Canal+ television. |
 | | In 1955 Raymond Leblanc, head of Lombard publisher of the Tintin comic books, founded the Belvision animation studio, which brought Belgian animation out of its provinciality by offering the first television version of The Adventures of Tintin. |
