Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In 1872 London in a world of humanoid animals, Willy Fog is the quintessential British gentleman of rigid sedentary habits, much to his new servants', Rigodon and Tico, pleasure. Suddenly, Fog is forced to take an extraordinary wager on behalf of a friend that he can circumnavigate the world in 80 days. Now, with little but a satchel carrying the necessary funds, Fog and his staff start their journey. Unknown to Fog, he is doggedly pursued by Scotland Yard detectives Dix and Bully on suspicion of a bank robbery. More seriously, however, Fog's movements are also being shadowed by Transfer, a villainous master of disguise who is commissioned by his enemies to interfere in the journey in any way he can. Regardless, Fog is determined to see the challenge through, finding dangers and friends, of which the gracious Princess Romy is the most welcome of new companions, on a journey unlike any other of their time.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | This is one of the most accurate adaptations of the Jules Verne tale ever made. Even though the characters are humanoid animals, adds new characters, adds a balloon ride for the part of the trip, and makes a few changes (names and minor plot changes to account for the villains' schemes), for the most part the series adapts fully the major and minor plot points of the novel.

| Quotes |
[English theme song]
Fog: Fogg, I'm the one who made the bet, and I know we'll be exactly right on time! Fogg is my name and I could play with my life in many ways, that's what they say! Rigodon: Here I am! I'm Rigadon! Tico: I'm Tico, the mascot! Romy: It's my turn, the gentle touch / I'm Romy, they love me so much! Fog: Hey, now the story must go on, 'cause a lot of time has gone, we must be ready to go away! Chorus: Eighty days around the world / We'll find the pot of gold / just sitting where the rainbow's ending! / Time, we'll fight against the time / and we'll fly on the white wings of the wind! / Eighty days around the world / No, we won't say a word / before the ship is really back! / Round, round, all around the world / Round, all around the world / Round, all around the world / Round, all around the world!
