Around the World in 80 Days is full of what has made Palin such a popular and enjoyable travel writer: wry, humorous, but ultimately humane observations on the world's foibles, and the pleasure and pains of travelling.

Some of the finest sections come with Palin's often hilarious accounts of cultural confusion encountered throughout India and the Far East. Along the way we are treated to Palin's trademark traveller's tales and bizarre journeys, from the idyllic but at times traumatic medieval boat journey across the Indian Ocean, to dog-sledding and ballooning across the USA. Palin's journey is no less hectic and incident-packed than his illustrious predecessor, as he pursues Fogg in an increasingly frenetic attempt to get back to the Reform Club within the allotted 80 days. In 1872 Fogg set off from The Reform Club in London on an 80-day journey around the globe which took him through southern Europe, the Middle East, China and the USA. Mathieu excels in this type of exercise.The first of Palin's highly acclaimed travel trilogy, Around the World in 80 Days finds the former Monty Python comic swapping his dead parrot for his rucksack, and setting off in the footsteps of Jules Verne's intrepid traveller, Phileas Fogg. We preferred to focus on light and color. With our artistic director Mathieu Vavril, who did a sensational job on this film, we quickly understood that we should refine the designs and textures so that the volumes could be interpreted more simply, and therefore blend better with the 2D elements. We therefore had to develop a graphic style that would allow us to easily mix 2D and 3D. Even though the scenario was not yet finalized, we already knew that we would have a lot of sets to cover, and that some could only be approached by trick designs in order not to get bogged down in complicated special effects (water, smoke, and fire).

At the same time, we started graphic studies. We reworked the story structure and characters a lot, together with Gerry Swallow. But I didn't want this submissive situation, which comes from another time: I wanted our heroes to be friends, with an equal relationship. “When I arrived, there was already a first version, in which Passepartout was Phileas's valet, as in Jules Verne's novel.
