It was very different from the cartoon I watched when I was a kid :-) Gone is the ingenious Mr. Fogg using whatever is at hand in clever ways. In the book he bribes his way through and is being saved by other people. The main idea is, to win a terminally dumb wager, you need lot of money and a lot of luck. But surprisingly, the story isn't satiric in the slightest, he's a damn hero :-).
