Goofs:
Continuity: When Fogg and Lenoir start the balloon, it starts to rise rapidly and its yellow cabin is shown at least three meters above the ground in the shot with the whole balloon. Yet in the next shot the cabin is much lower as Passepartout boards the cabin by just pulling himself up by his arms.

I have always tried to figure out why people pan a film simply because it was "not like the book".
I agree this mini-series is not as true to Verne's vision as other movies BUT it is an excellent introduction to Vernes & the late 19th century for students.
I have used this movie in my 9th grade World History classes & my students absolutely LOVE it. Over 3 weeks we watch the film track their progress on a map & keep track of the various modes of transportation that the main characters use.
We also discuss the role of Britian as an imperialist power & the growing importance of the US in the world.
I suggest this film for teachers & for families with middle school aged children. A great film!!
