About This Movie

Around the World in 80 Days (1988) is this quirky amalgamation of adventure and animation that takes you on a whirlwind ride. It captures the essence of Jules Verne’s classic tale, but you know, through this whimsical lens. The pacing is quite brisk, keeping you on your toes as Lord Phileas Fogg races against time—and a pesky detective. Speaking of characters, Fogg's butler, Passepartout, brings a nice comedic touch that balances the tension. The practical effects, albeit dated, have a charm that gives it a unique texture, reminiscent of classic animation styles. The humor doesn’t shy away from being a bit silly, yet it retains a light-hearted spirit throughout. Definitely a distinctive take on a timeless narrative.
