So in the end, Mr. Phileas Fogg did make his journey around the world in less than 80 days but just barely!
We watched a DVD from 1956 by Warner Bros after completing the book. In the DVD, Passepartout is a very funny person and very lady-crazy. A lot different than what we all pictured him to be. Mr. Fogg, on the other hand, was exactly as the book portrayed him.
