Worldwide first on Blu-ray! Years after Hergé put Tintin on the front page, his friend and fellow Belgian cartoonist Edgar P. Jacobs set about crafting a very different kind of adventure. Bold, brainy, and steeped in Cold War intrigue, the Blake and Mortimer comics pitted two brilliant British minds against the forces of global villainy across stories of espionage, ancient mysteries, and rogue science. Imprint Television is proud to present the animated series, produced by the team behind The Adventures of Tintin, coming to Blu-ray for the first time worldwide, presented here in both upscaled 1.77:1 widescreen high-definition transfers and the original 1.33:1 standard-definition versions, with both original French audio and optional English subtitles, and alternate English dubs. Across 26 episodes, Captain Francis Blake of MI5 and his friend Professor Philip Mortimer are repeatedly pitted against their sworn nemesis, the cunning Colonel Olrik. Drawing on nine of Jacobs' original albums alongside four brand new stories created exclusively for the screen, the series takes our heroes from the pyramids of Egypt to the frozen wastes of Iceland and far beyond. Limited Edition 4-Disc Blu-ray Hardbox with 40-page Hardcover Booklet. 1500 copies only.

Blake and Mortimer (1997)
131 min
Blake and Mortimer is an animated television series, based on the Blake and Mortimer comic book by Edgar Pierre Jacobs. The series was directed by Stéphane Bernasconi, and produced by Ellipse, and shown in 1997. The first nine stories were used in this series, as well as four brand new stories, devised by the creators: The Viking's Bequest, The Secret of Easter Island, The Alchemist's Will, and The Druid. New writers, mostly connected to the production company as writers, dialogists or translators, were asked to come up with original plotlines which used the characters of Jacobs' stories, respected the magical/scientific Universe, but rang interesting changes.
