#Around the world in 80 days movie movie

The film is not as corny as I feared it would be, thanks to all of the wit, which can still do only so much to dance around the cornball bits, even within characterization that, even in the context of this fluffy pseudo-fantasy flick, can be a little hard to buy into, limiting engagement value which is further shaken by questionable structuring. The film has refreshing touches, but they just shine a light on the conventional aspects which render the final product predictable, and to make matters all the more aggravating, a lot of the tropes are taken from cheesy formulas. Well, at least the film a whole lot of fun, even if it does take its time to work its way down a path that isn't even especially original. or features an extensive cartoon sequence by the guy whose other major globe design was for AT&T. I don't know how much depth you can get out of a film that is based on a Jules Verne novel. There better be something to justify that length, because although this film is plenty adventurous, it isn't exactly the most dramatically sweeping epic to take home Best Picture. Yeah, if you're going to be ambitious enough to employ Saul Bass to make some cartoon for you, even if you just use him at the end of your movie, he's going to need to have his time to shine, so maybe it's a good thing that this film is ultimately over two-and-a-half hours long.

Murrow-hosted prologue that has the audacity to show footage from another movie ('A Trip to the Moon', if anyone's vaguely interested), and the animated credits sequence at the end, runs about 80 days, or at least it probably felt like it did at a time when they didn't even have ending credits sequences.

No, it takes 'way' more days than that, because the total time taken up by the Edward R. Before 'Logan's Run', Michael Anderson presented us 'Fogg's Run'! This guy might can take only 80 days to make it around the world, but it takes a couple more than that to watch him do so.
