- philistine 4y agoI truly fell in love with Tintin watching the Nelvana cartoon as a kid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Tintin_(TV_series) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Tintin_(TV_s.... It wasn't a bad idea, but it highlights the most important element of adapting Calvin & Hobbes: you must change the format. While Tintin stayed an adventure series that lasts for about 45 minutes per story, what do you do with Calvin & Hobbes? It can't be a 5 seconds long show! It's a big part of Watterson's refusal; he was adamant that Calvin was a strip, and only worked as a strip.
