Tintin and the Temple of the Sun

Tintin and the Temple of the Sun (1969, Belvision, a co-production between Belgium, France and Switzerland) is a film made after the success of the Belvision cartoon series. The subject was to be The Seven Crystal Balls and Prisoners of the Sun (merged together becoming Tintin and the Temple of the Sun). There was a lot of publicity for the movie (which was the first of two animated films, the second being Tintin and the Lake of Sharks).

Many scenes from the books were deleted; in fact, the whole of the first book was condensed into fifteen minutes of film. Events were changed and some were added. For example, the Great Inca's Daughter was introduced, who tried to beg her father to spare the prisoners and likes Zerrino.
