around the world in eighty days-intro

[borbetomagus]

Visual Entertainment Inc (VEI) will be reissuing a 2 DVD set of this cartoon on Sept 27, 2011. 390 minutes in length, it should include all 16 episodes. Best Buy has it advertised for only $7!, but check (by time) it's not the Pierce Brosnan version.

Australian Air Programmes International originally produced the series. It was shown in the US on NBC between 1972-1973.

John Sanger's theme song is based on "Mademoiselle from Armentières" (aka 'Hinky Dinky Parlez Vous') -- /watch?v=bIcxA9miIgs

[SuperCartiel]

"Have you got a plan, Mr. Fix?"

"Have I got a plan? HAVE I GOT A PLAN??

"I'LL FIX THAT FOGG!!!"

[squeapler]

I remember this one! It took me a long time as a kid to figure out the words to the theme song. I didn't understand that the "Passepartout" parts were referring to the French character's name. Mr. Fix used to drive me nuts by talking to himself for like 5 minutes before he actually did anything. Worse than Dick Dastardly.

[TheHatyha]

Seems like it was popular all over the globe. In formes USSR for sure!!!!!:) Yeah I was 5 when I watched that.Love refinding it!

[viperkut]

Any idea where I can get the whole thing?

[yamnitskym]

Does anyone know where I could get a full version of this cartoon?  I grew up in the USSR and loved the dubbed version, but would very much like to see the original :)

Thanks!

[TimelordR]

I barely remember this cartoon & i also believe this cartoon was an Australian import.

[cuteycindyhoney]

Belinda Maze sure can handle a pogo-stick!

[journeyman2mage]

The actual lyrics:

"Around the world in 80 days, BEEP!!BEEP!! Passepartout!

So Fogg may marry Belinda Maze, BEEP!!BEEP!! Passepartout!"

"Fogg may fail because of Fix

Unless Fogg nixes Fix's tricks

Around the world with BEEP!!BEEP!! Passepartout!"

"Around the world in 80 days

so Fogg may marry Belinda Maze --

Around the world with BEEP!!BEEP!! Passepartout! BEEP!!BEEP!!"

[SteveCarras]

Even if you don't like this briefly broadcast show, it's a catchy theme song.

I remember the sound effects mismatched the action. That really made

the show stand out for me. That and Mr. Fix's conversations with himself.

[CaptainGoofysstash]

I absolutely loved watching this when it first came out while I was in kindergarten, and then it came back while I was in grade school on weekdays. I watched it religously. And Fogg's saying "The motto of the wise is be prepared for surprises" sticks with me to this day (I'm apparently the only family member who alway seems prepared! lol)

[RossJams]

@CaptainGoofysstash "The motto of the wise is be prepared for surprises" ... i like that

[SteveCarras]

Internet Movie Database mentions that theme writer-singer John Sangster was born November 17th.,1928, which would make him 82 [died 1995]. [Also born a day before Mickey Mouse!].

[tvtimetravel]

I remember watching this on KTXL Sacramento as part of Cap'n Mitch's cartoon show.

[lenalew16]

Have you ever uploaded it anywhere. I would really like to download, even if it is not the whole movie.

Thanks

[peterkvideo]

This Austrialian cartoon in Russian translation (from 1978) used to be very popular in the Soviet Union!

[darrylhaynes]

another n.b.c cartoon of the 70s...

[SilentStalkerX]

So THIS was the 80 days cartoon which theme song I remember...for 15 years....though this is pale as opposed to skrag2112's 30 years...

[drafsna]

I discussed this cartoon series with my children telling them that Fogg will utter one quotation in each series. Memorable and educational. Helped me a lot in building good character through his sayings.

[stegatops]

I agree............you watch this when your a kid and you never get the stupid song out your head!!

"........around the world in eighty days so Fogg may marry Belinda Maise......

.........around the world with (honk-honk) Passeportout!!!"

[FancyStasik]

@stegatops

Maze, not Maise, stupid.

[rouens]

classic stuff

[Hewylewis]

Oh god no!

[skrag2112]

I literally haven't heard that theme song in 30 years! It all came rushing back at once.

[lenalew16]

Does anyone know where you can get the English version of the cartoon?

[disneyfan81]

@lenalew16 I have a videotape that consists of three episodes strung together into a movie that I remember seeing on pay cable in 1983.

[amb0516]

Does anyone have the entire cartoon they can post?

[jinxer70]

can anyone tell me the lyrics of this, please?

[sabbarah]

thanks for the post..... ah my far childhood.. u remembered me of the best days of my life.... thnks very much

[wmunozpu]

I had this song in my mind for 20 years, I cannot believe I am listening to it again. Thanks

[hkapeman]

@wmunozpu Ha me too!

[bezale]

wow. I've been waiting about 30 years to see/hear this again. I thought I'd imagined it, none of my mates remember it. Thank you very much!

[dukenthaylor]

thx for posting! if you happen to have IVANHOE (also from API Productions), could you post it as well? i used to watch that toon during thanksgiving in the 70s, and it was EXCELLENT! the sword play, though animated, was BEYOND COMPARE, highlighting incredible battles using heavy swords! however, it's VERY hard to find now! even imdb, though it has the data for MOST of API's other toons, doesn't have data for IVANHOE! thx again!

[dmp85]

Esto lo buscaba hace tiempo!!

Recuerdo cuando se equipaban en cada partida. Nunca dudes de Phileas Fog.

[aviraym]

"fix tricks !!! fix tricks !!!" :-)

[TammiWayKewl]

There was also a two-parter produced by Rankin-Bass, which aired around the same time. It was part of their "Festival Of Family Classics" series.

[fodsaks]

Horray!!

Thank you so much for uploading this.

Whenever I've tried to tell people about the Around The World In 80 Days cartoon, they've always assumed I meant that Willy Fog thing.

[rumeno07]

attenzione al signor Fix - che in agguato è sempre lì - per giocare - - Mr.Fog

[abacab987]

This was on first in the late sixties and early seventies. Does anyone know if there was ever an episode that detailed the successful return of Fog? He gained a day because of crossing the international time line, but thought he was one day late because he kept only a written log.

[DomenicDee]

I remember liking this show back when I was like 6 or 7, does anybody know if this was an American cartoon? I know it was on NBC Saturday mornings for at least a year.

[Yolochka07]

If I'm not mistaken, it was an Australian cartoon...

loved it!

[acholl980]

It was imported by NBC for 72-73 season.

[mohalon]

Thank you for the clip! I wonder if anyone knows where I can get the whole cartoon?

[4220571]

one of the best cartoons, i watched in 1981,1982....thanks

[hilcer]

wow amazing

I'm mexican but I was kind of a fan as a child... im 19 so i didn't expected it to be that old but wow i really like it.. Now i want to find it in spanish

[javierglz21]

Si lo encuentras por favor avisame!.. Yo recuerdo que lo veia de chavillo y si, tambien la veia en español, creo que la rentaba en los tiempos de los Videocentro jaja

[ashleyinparis]

Thank you 1000 times for putting this on youtube. Since over 1 year I´m looking for this cartoon and couldn´t find it anywhere.

MY all beautiful childhood memories are back.

Thank you

[67nairb]

I hear Don Messick's voice in this intro.

[amb0516]

OMG i have been looking for this!! mine was recorded over, thanks so much

[MsSVasan]

Oh !!!! I loved this even when I was a teenager in the 80s...This is such a beloved favorite of mine...just equally lovable like the Tom&Jerry (Fred Quimby productions), which I SIMPLY Adore. None of the Boomerang Channels or Cartoon channels ever show the above cartoon anymore. Wonder why !!!! /:( However glad to see it on YouTube /:)

[nnaw]

Air Programs International co-produced The Funky Phantom for Hanna-Barbera the year before which explains the H-B look, also John Sangster sang the themes to both shows which also explains the music.

[heine71]

I know in 1973 General Mills cereals had in its specially marked Lucky Charms and Frosty-O's cereal boxes mini foam figures from the Around the World in Eighty Days cartoon series. I have seen that commercial for the free A.T.W.I.E.D. mini foam figures from General Mills cereals on one of Ira Gallen's Video Resources Classic TV Commercial videotape complimations.

[postcin]

Is that Lucky Charm commerical availabe to see online?

[heine71]

Look up the IRA GALLEN YouTube channels - tvdays

[QBCNetwork]

I thought 80 Days was made by DePatie-Freleng.

[muttley16]

no it wasn't.

[heine71]

Air Progmans made it!

[heine71]

This was Hanna-Barbera like animation/music (done by Aussie Air Programs)? This was a film print and not a 1972-1973 NBC Umatic/reel to reel recording, I guess.

[muttley16]

wrong.
