Around The In 80 Days

This cartoon lacked a strong central story, and so much of the humour fell flat, I found many of the characters menacing and the choice of monkeys, gerbils and frogs was, to my mind a mistake.

What this was based upon I am unclear, certainly not Jules Verne's classic novel of eccentric scientist and his faithful Chinese valet, the story was dire.

Overall it lacked originality, humour, story and well drawn characters, at best this is a week 4 outta 10, meaning skip this tripe.

Another French animation based on the adventure novel by Jules Verne (1873), now with cute and friendly animals. The protagonist is less likeable than his partner and tormentor, and the antagonist exudes friendliness and mischief, gaining charisma and making the film less boring. Directing the action scenes and the few touches of humor, the highlight is the graphics, making the trip around the world attractive and colorful...

The path of Passepartout, a young erudite monkey whose dream is to be an explorer, crosses that of Phileas Frogg, a reckless and ambitious frog who accepts a bet worth 10 million shells to circumnavigate the globe in just 80 days. From scorching deserts to mysterious jungles, from intrepid princesses to volcano-loving crickets, together they will discover how vast and wonderful the world is, and live a crazy adventure full of great surprises and lots of fun. Inspired by Jules Verne's classic work, "Around the World in 80 Days".

I took two 6 year olds who seemed quite happy to watch it. It's not for older kids maybe anything older than 9 may struggle with attention. As an adult I like animation movies Pixar etc... this was just ok.

Gorgeous animation and some fun characters. The scorpions were great and lots of great attention to detail. Shame that once AGAIN a female had to be the smart one showing the dumb boys how it's done.

Sooooo over this!

At first I thought wow two male leads cant believe it..but no soon enough the savvy heroine rocked up. Can we stop with the virtue signalling in children's cinema?? It's nauseating.

The movie was fast paced and entertaining enough.

Nine year old grandson enjoyed but any older would be too late.
