Around the world in 80 days (1 Viewer)

I have searched, but have not seen any reviews here for this dvd. I am going to pick it up for my kids later today, but was wanting to read some reviews first. I have seen a few in other places, but I think we have some of the best reviews here.

I'd look for the 1956 version, which is a 2-disc SE.

 

[Steve Phillips]

The Jackie Chan version is abysmal.

The kids love the Jackie Chan version.

I love the original which was for a different audience. It
really needs a Todd AO projection however to be fully appreciated.

I find that if you pretend you're five years old, you can enjoy the Jackie Chan Around the World in 80 Days. But only if you do that. It doesn't work for adults.

Adults can find their Jackie Chan relief by treating themselves to the new anamorphic transfer box sets of Project A 1 &2, and the three Police Story movies. Now THOSE are great movies.

The 1956 version is joyful, and moves on "a bright cloud of music" (apologies to Hammerstein II).

Play it loudly, sit close, and pretend you're seeing it in 70mm Todd-AO.
