I'm not sure why it's still considered a classic. Characters are constantly contradicting their own motives. Sometimes the leader abandons his friend for the sake of the journey, other times he goes on side quests despite the timelines his journey. It's dull and flawed. Fun fact: they do not travel by air balloon.
