A wager. A race against time. An adventure that spans the globe. Jules Verne's classic tale was always a natural for animation. Join the resourceful and resilient Phileas Fogg and his faithful companion Passepartout as they match wits with the scheming Lord Maze and his bumbling crony, Mr Fix. The object, to circle the globe in 80 days. A difficult enough task made all the harder by Mr Fix's constant attempts to sabotage their journey every step of the way. (16 x 30min)
