I was disappointed, but frankly unsurprised, that in the cartoon series they glossed over the 'white saviour' subplot of Penis Fogg saving that slag from death via 'suttee' which is front and forward in Verne's original text. I put it to you that in the 'politically correct' days of 1980s animated television, the ritual slaughter of wives as part of the funerary process of India's brahmin caste was considered a topic too challenging for the 'age 7-12' target demographic, and was therefore glossed over, to the detriment of source authenticity.

They actually included that in the cartoon though, as far as I remember. (
