The Adventures of Tintin is an animated television series co-produced and animated by French animation studio Ellipsanime and Canadian studio Nelvana. The series is based on the comic book series of the same name by Belgian cartoonist Hergé (French pronunciation: [ɛʁʒe]).[1] 39 half-hour episodes were produced over the course of three seasons, originally airing in France, Canada and the United States between 1991 and 1992.

Along with fans, critics have praised the series for being “generally faithful” to the originals, with compositions having been actually taken directly from the panels in the original comic books.[6]

Fun fact about the show posted above:
In the episodes “Destination Moon” and “Explorers on the Moon”, 3-D animation was used for the moon rocket — an unusual step in 1991. Each frame of the animation was then printed and recopied onto celluloid, hand painted in gouache, and then laid onto a painted background.

I had no idea there was a TV series in the early 90s, damn! That’s when I was reading many of these. Thanks for the links!
