Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Fantastic Flying Journey is a children's book by Gerald Durrell, illustrated by Graham Percy. It tells the story of the Dollybutt children, Emma, Conrad and Ivan, and their adventures around the world in their Great-Uncle Lancelot's balloon, the Belladonna, as they search for their missing Great-Uncle Perceval, who vanished two years before while studying gorillas in Africa. Along the way, the children and Lancelot talk to the various animals they meet with the aid of a mysterious grey powder, an invention of Perceval's which enables them to communicate with animals.Two years after the original book, Durrell wrote a sequel, The Fantastic Dinosaur Adventure, in which Lancelot and the children travel back to the time of the dinosaurs in pursuit of the evil Sir Jasper Collywobble.In 2001, an animated children's series was produced in the UK, based on the book. It expanded the plot, and added a villain who pursued the Dollybutt family on their journey to get her hands on the magical powder that enables them to talk with animals.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| The Fantastic Flying Journey / int_4c4bebf4 | comment |
Artistic License – Paleontology: Tanystropheus is referred to as a dinosaur, even though it actually belonged to an ancient order of reptiles called Protosauria. It also appears to have an appetite for humans, even though in real life it was probably a fish-eater. | |

Bamboo Technology: The Belladonna runs entirely on this, and is even made of bamboo. | |

Beary Friendly: Polar Bear is surprisingly friendly with the protagonists considering that she's both a predator and a mother. | |

Author Avatar: Great-Uncle Lancelot's appearance and mannerism resembles Gerald Durrell a lot. In the Hungarian translation he's even renamed Great-Uncle Gerry. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| The Fantastic Flying Journey / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: The Scolosaurus in The Fantastic Dinosaur Adventure. Very timid and friendly, but he's still an ankylosaur who will put up a fight against a Tyrannosaurus rex when pushed too far. | |
