Capitalising on the success of 'Tintin and the Golden Fleece' (Tintin et le mystère de la Toison d'Or) in 1961, 'Tintin and the Blue Oranges' (Tintin et les oranges bleues) followed in 1964, with Jean-Pierre Talbot reprising his role as the titular Tintin. An original story written by André Barret based on the Hergé characters, the plot saw Tintin, Snowy and Professor Calculus travel to Spain to investigate the theft of a mysterious blue orange - the solution to world hunger.
