The Broken Ear

The Broken Ear is the second season made for The Adventures of Tintin, with seven 13 minute episodes produced by Belvision and R.T.F., and Raymond Leblanc with permission from Hergé.

This season was made in 1959 and aired the same year in French, and aired in English in 1962 on the BBC. Unlike later adaptations, this and King Ottokar's Sceptre are very faithful to the books. The music used is classical music from many different composers, but some music was possibly composed, arranged, or recorded by M. Saulnier. Technical collaboration was by Anne-Marie Ullmann and J. de Brabander. Extra pictures were drawn by Hergé's assistant, Bob de Moor, and the animation is made using paper cut-outs.
