When Phileas (voiced in the dubbed English version by Rob Tinkler) washes up on a beach, grade-school macaque-ish kid Passepartout (Cory Doran) is entranced. For example, the froggy version of Phileas Fogg has legs that go on for miles, but that doesn’t stop him from being an ace surfer.
To be fair, it’s hard to hate on this gentle, goofy interpretation, populated by simply designed animal characters with exaggerated features. Well, it’s obvious, isn’t it? There’s never been an animated version where the lead characters are played by a frog and a monkey, and live on an island community mostly made up of land-dwelling shrimp! G iven there are so, so many film adaptations of Jules Verne’s infinitely malleable 19th-century adventure story, you might wonder why the French-Belgium production team behind this latest iteration felt the need to add yet another one to the pile.
