3''Around the World in 80 Days'' is the Creator/BurbankFilmsAustralia adaptation of Jules Verne's [[Literature/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays classic French novel]] about a Victorian Englishman who bets that with the new steamships and railways he can do what the title says. It was released in 1988.
4----
5!Tropes applied to this film:
6* ActuallyIAmHim: Passepartout mistakes Fogg for a butler when he first meets him. He's very embarrassed when Fogg reveals his true identity.
7* AdaptedOut: Aouda does not appear in the film. Although Fogg saves a woman from being sacrificed, she doesn't accompany him on the journey.
8* AssholeVictim: The cultists are seemingly killed when Fog rescues Aouda(?) and burns their temple down.
9* CompressedAdaptation: Quite a bit of the book, such as Aodua's subplot, has been cut from the film.
10* FunnyAnimal: Like ''WesternAnimation/AroundTheWorldWithWillyFog'', this version takes place in a world of anthropomorphic animals. Unlike Willy Fog, however, Passepartout is a monkey and Phileas Fogg is a fox.
11* HereWeGoAgain: Passepartout's response [[spoiler:at the end of the movie, when Fogg claims that a journey around the world would be possible in only 66 days]].
12* HumanSacrifice: Fogg and Passepartout interrupt such a ritual in India.
13* IdenticalStranger: The bank robber physically resembles Fogg, which is why Fix assumes that he is the culprit.
14* KarmaHoudini: Fog is released after he is found innocent of bank robbery... but on his journey, he burned down an Indian temple, with people still inside (although those inside count as AssholeVictims), threatens a man with his revolver, and abandons Passepartout in Hong Kong after the latter disappears. ([[ItMakesSenseInContext Passepartout then reunites with him by flying a paper dragon to the ship]])
15* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Fogg has no second thoughts about spending whatever money he needs in order for his voyage to continue uninterrupted.
16* TimeTitle: TheFilmOfTheBook of Jules Verne's ''Literature/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays''.
17* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Passepartout is terrified of flying.
