Around the World in 80 Days

The young monkey Passepartout, locked up in his room, dreams of the day when he will be able to venture, backpack on his shoulders, in the footsteps of his idol, the explorer Juan Frog De Leon, holder of the record for going round the world in the shortest possible time: ninety days. In the meantime, however, he lives in a land populated by shrimps, where there is little room for adventure, at least until the day Phileas Frog arrives, riding a surfboard in flip-flops. Friendly and boisterous, chased by the female gerbil Fix, who accuses him of having stolen ten million clams, Frog finds no better way out of his predicament than to promise to break the historic record by circumnavigating the globe in just eighty days. This is the opportunity that Passepartout has always been waiting for, and for which it is even worth running away from home.
