Just when you think you’ve had enough adaptations of Jules Verne’s 1873 classis novel Around the World in 80 Days, another one circumnavigates the globe to arrive in a cinema near you. This time it’s via France, courtesy of StudioCanal, who have released a trailer for their animated take on the classic exploration adventure, which finds a marmoset teaming up with an ingeniously named amphibian called Philéas Frog; check out the trailer here…
Passepartout is a young and scholarly marmoset who always dreams of becoming an explorer. One day, he crosses paths with Phileas, a reckless and greedy frog, eager to take on a bet to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days and earn 10 million clams in the process. Seizing the opportunity of a lifetime to explore the world, Passepartout embarks with his new friend on a crazy and exhilarating adventure full of twists and surprises.
Around the World in 80 Days lands in UK cinemas from August 20th.
