The Phantom Tollbooth

CriticsCritics: 95
AudienceAudience: 6.9

A bored young boy discovers a magical tollbooth and drives through it into a fantastical animated kingdom. There, he encounters quirky creatures, wordplay-filled places, and a kingdom-wide crisis involving two missing princesses, setting him on an imaginative adventure.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like whimsical, idea-filled adventures such as James and the Giant Peach; Not for you if you prefer fast-paced stories, straightforward plots, or polished modern animation.
