What happens

Blake and Mortimer is an animated television series, based on the Blake and Mortimer comics series by Edgar Pierre Jacobs. The series was directed by Stéphane Bernasconi, and produced by French animation studio Ellipse, shown originally 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.
