Around the World in 80 Days

アニメ80日間世界一周

Aired: 1987 - 1988

A Japanese-Spanish co-produced adventure anime adapting Jules Verne's classic novel 'Around the World in Eighty Days.' Co-produced by Nippon Animation and Spain's BRB Internacional, this series depicts the story of English gentleman Phileas Fogg and his companions as they attempt to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days, charmingly reimagined with all characters replaced by animal characters for a child-friendly presentation. The journey of the distinctive cast -- Lord Fogg as a lion, his servant Rigodon, and female lead Romy -- unfolds against the backdrop of famous landmarks around the 19th-century world, offering the pleasure of a sightseeing tour as well. The clear, bright vocals of Keiko Han singing the theme song 'Sky Way' perfectly capture the spirit of adventure that defines this beloved series.
