Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
grendelkhan Around the World in 80 Days was a rather unique show for Saturday morning, in the 70s. It was produced by Air Programs International, an Australian studio, who would become an Australian branch of Hanna-Barbera and produce several cartoons for them, including many for their Famous Classics Illustrated series of holiday specials. The show was further unique in that it advanced the story (sort of) each week, with Fogg and Passepartout inching closer to their goal. It featured an aphorism each week, reinforcing a life lesson, while constantly reminding the viewer to always be prepared. Beyond that, the gags were rather standard, with Mr. Fix trying to put a monkey wrench into the pair's travels, while Passepartout keeps a frantic lookout for Fix, exclaiming "Fix Tricks!" at every passing. The plots were kept simple and might be rather hard to endure for an adult or older child; but, the series was always inventive. Definitely worth viewing for the younger child.
elshikh4 I've watched it in the summer of 1992. I was a kid at the time and there was no internet, no computer, no DVD player, no cable…well I think the world itself was a kid too ! I was watching an episode per day in our national TV at 5 p.m and what an enjoyable short time I was having. It was so fun to watch especially with all the nice simplicity, the true comic talents and the storyline which made the novel so easy like a cat – mouse chase. As for the theme song let me tell you; I loved it to the extent that I recorded it on a cassette tape at the moment and how I sang it so many times because its childish mirth and charm (of course great thanks to the previous commenter who wrote the whole lyrics).And I recorded also the constant final phrase of every episode when (Phileas Fogg) congratulates his devoted servant and partner for having victory on their enemy (as well as having us delighted) by his saying : "Good Show Passepartout".. Indeed.
Alexander This adaptation of the great work by Jules Verne is light, smooth, comical, yet contains important life lessons for children and families. The show is funny, and its attitude is optimistic. It is just an adaptation, yet it remains fairly faithful to the classic work of Jules Verne. This show will please everyone: animated movie lovers, fans of Jules Verne, children, teenagers, and adults.I became fascinated with this television series as a child. I could not wait till the next episode, and this fascination is still within me, even though now I am an adult and a medical doctor by profession (movie lover in heart).Great family entertainment. I simply love it!
binghunt I remember the catchy theme song to this colourful cartoon series.The villain was Mr Fix and the heroine that Fogg travelled the world for was dinky Belinda Mayes ! each episode Fogg and his companion Passportou were in a different country and Mr Fix was like a Dick Dastardly character who kept trying to foil the journey but was always outdone by the travellers.Around the world in 80 days with Passportou. Around the world in 80 days with Passportou. So Fogg may marry Belinda Mayes, Passportou. Fogg may fail, because of Fix. Unless Fogg fixes Fix's tricks. Around the world with Passportou !Catchy huh ?
