Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 1 Stars
I'd read the book to my daughter before getting the video, and I looked forward to a true rendering of the book. What we saw was a travesty - the filmmakers took tremendous liberties with the spirit of the text and I felt that we were seeing a completely different story - and it wasn't one bit interesting. It took forever for the plot to begin; the filmmakers seemed to be having more fun showing off the "gimmick" of moving between real images and animation, but it got to be obnoxious and wasteful - where's the story? Stick with the book... maybe someone will come up with a better film version. (For the record, I'm not against all filmed versions of book: I love the films of Charlotte's Web, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - renamed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for film - and the Harry Potter films.)Movie Review: Chuck in Wackyland
Summary: 2 Stars
You can easily imagine how Norton Juster's whimsical, punning, and perfectly logical book might have appealed to Chuck Jones; his adaptation of Juster's "The Dot and the Line" had won an Oscar. Parts of this occasionally doleful transfer are effective, and the vocal talent is impeccable: Mel Blanc, Hans Conreid, June Foray. But the musical score is almost unbelievably poor (Leonard Maltin's capsule review refers to the songs as "icky"), the character designs pale in comparison with the nifty pen-and-inks Jules Feiffer drew for Juster's book, and Jones's Milo runs his hand through his forelock so often you want to break his wrist. Worth seeing, for Juster's admirers and Chuck Jones fanatics. But only once.Movie Review: An Entertaining and Wise Film
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Phantom Tollbooth" is the magnum opus of all involved--that's saying a lot--considering it is co-directed by animator Chuck Jones and stars the very talented Butch Patrick (who was featured in "Pressure Point" and "A Child is Waiting"; as well as a regular on "The Munsters")."Tollbooth" is not only a film for the whole family, but is actually GOOD for the entire family. Some features will teach children that academics are important, this piece of entertainment goes beyond that and teaches that being a human being is important.
Despite what some critics have written--the songs are awesome and the storyline is very entertaining!
Movie Review: The greatest Movie ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful movie I am only 14 but this is probably my all time favorite movie and I like movies like american pie and Van wylder so its not like im only exposed to this genre. The movie is great while getting some education in on the side. It's also a good buy because you will want to watch it over and over again.
