+ 11 sec




Right at the beginning, the DVD presents a strikingly more modern and lousy new synchronisation - thanks to the following cut, but unfortunately, because of that almost exactly 20 seconds of German original synchronisation are lost.

00:38 / 00:27-05:55

The narrator goes much further and mentions (at the beginning - still in full screen and black and white) how Vernes would have dealt with the journey to the moon. To illustrate this, excerpts from the film The Journey to the Moon which was made as early as 1902, are shown and the latter is also specifically named with reference to the director Georges Méliès.

The narrator comments, that in the meantime the rockets and also the people have changed. When a more modern rocket launches, the picture opens step by step to widescreen and so you can see the universe and its possibilities. In the end, the image fades over to the globe again and addresses the topic of the earth's border.

327.8 sec (= 5:28 min)




03:56 / 09:13-09:22

The first exterior scene starts earlier.

9.3 sec




04:02 / 09:29-10:24

Passepartout travels much longer through the streets on a high bike. A coachman wants to scare him away and behind a woman he makes an extra round.

55 sec




20:54 / 27:16-28:01

After they have bought the balloon, there is a soft transition in both versions but on VHS our two heroes fly off immediately.
But actually they march to the balloon and while Fogg has already entered the balloon, Passepartout is sunning himself in the spotlight. He then only loosens the string by mistake or rather stumbles around a little and loosens it by the way - so it's more understandable why he hectically follows the moment that is now contained again on the VHS.

44.6 sec




26:29 / 33:36-35:24

After the first shots of the flight, a scene with the round of rich men is missing. It's surprisingly discussed that Fogg is doing surprisingly well so far.

Afterwards you can see them floating in the balloon again and over the Cote'd'Azur. Fogg describes this as a good place to descend and therefore asks Passepartout to look for the gas. He is clumsily doing a little gymnastics at the top and after he´s looking down, he can finally catch his breath again.

108.6 sec (= 1:49 min)




28:55 / 37:51-38:48

The guitar performance is a bit longer: Actually, it's a long camera ride that takes you back. The flamenco dancers perform an extensive performance.
The VHS starts when the table is brought in and the men move away from it.

57.5 sec




34:53 / 44:46-45:00

The parade marches around in more detail.

14.3 sec




34:58 / 45:05-45:18

Ditto. Fogg then takes a seat.

12.2 sec




39:56 / 50:15-50:42

Passepartout and the bull sniff at each other much more extensively or rather the former must dance a little around.

26.4 sec




40:34 / 51:20-51:37

Before the bull starts to attack, the two face each other a bit longer.

17.2 sec




40:54 / 51:57-52:36

Here too, another bullfight is missing for a while.

39.5 sec




42:49 / 54:32-54:39

The man is standing a bit earlier in front of the chalkboard.
