Around the World with Willy Fog
This animated children's series from the 1980s is based on the Jules Verne classic Around the World in Eighty Days--with animals, rather than humans, cast as the main characters. Willy Fog is a lion and a perfect English gentleman who accepts a wager from his men's club to travel around the world in 80 days. Together with his butler Rigadon and the charming rodent Tico, Willy sets out for his globe-trotting adventure, followed by the evil weasel Transfer, who has been hired to sabotage the trio's expedition.
What happens at the end? Does Willy get to travel around the world in eighty days? What is his final destination? Do you know which famous clock is relevant for the development and final outcome of the series?

Talent isn't genius, and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing. I won't be a commonplace dauber, so I don't intend to try any more.
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)
