In 1991, a [[The Adventures of Tintin (TV series)|second animated series]] based upon ''The Adventures of Tintin'' was produced, this time as a collaboration between the French studio [[Ellipse Programme|Ellipse]] and the Canadian animation company [[Nelvana]]. ''Explorers on the Moon'' was the fifteenth story to be adapted and was divided into two twenty-minute episodes.
