Belvision produced three theatrical movies. The Crab with the Golden Claws (1947), The Temple of the Sun (1969) and the Lake of Sharks (1972). The first two seasons were in black and white, with minimal animation, and they were released in both French and English. These episodes were adapted from The Broken Ear and King Ottokar's Sceptre. Only parts of these two survive. Belvision also produced Tintin animations for some licensed commercial projects: Le SGM, Quaker Oats and Fruit D'or

Calculus determined that the object is made of a new material arranges an expedition to find it with Tintin, Haddock and Detectives Thompson and Thomson.
