Globehunters: An Around the World in 80 Days Adventure

Globehunters: An Around the World in 80 Days Adventure is a  animated adventure, directed by John Eng. It debuted as a part of Nickelodeon Sunday Movie Toons in late 2002. Loosely based on Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne, the plot follows a trio of genetic animals, a gorilla named Eddie, a Cheetah named Sasha, and a parrot named Trevor, who decide to escape a laboratory and travel the world in hopes of finding a place known as Himalaya USA.
