They need to make this movie on DVD

I was so happy to find this movie but the price was outrageous. I got it for my sisters birthday because her and this movie go way back. I guess it was worth the amount of money just because in my family it is a classic. They really need to make this movie on a DVD though because they last longer. This movie is so funny and just amazing. If you haven't seen it then I would suggest you rent it first because you may not be into this kind of movie. It is kind of trippy in some parts but the whole movie is just great. There is some singing and it is mostly a cartoon. It starts off as real life but then turns into a cartoon. This movie is a classic.

Inspiring a love of learning in a child's mind!

Milo is a boy who is bored with everything and can't see any rhyme, reason, or beauty in the world. In school, all he can think about is going home. At home, he still wishes he was somewhere else. However, Milo's world is turned upside down when a mysterious box appears in his bedroom. The box transforms into a kid-sized, magical tollbooth, complete with kiddie car and coins. Milo agrees to drive the little car through the talking tollbooth in the hopes of some sort of adventure, and he is not disappointed. Test driving through it a few times, he is amazed to find he is transformed into a living cartoon character. When he finally bites the bullet and goes all the way through, Milo enters a cartoon world of letters and numbers, kings and castles, demons and princesses, and all sorts of other oddities. The boy passes through all sorts of odd situations and obstacles, befriending a talking "watchdog" and a few other strange characters along the way, and learns the real value of knowledge and using time wisely when he quests to rescue two princesses from the terrifying "Castle in the Air."

Starring Butch Patrick (TV's Eddie Munster) in the role of Milo, along with legendary voice talents the likes of Mel Blanc, Daws Butler, Hans Conried, June Foray, and many more, this Chuck Jones classic is a cherished memory to countless children who have seen it since its release in 1970. Based on the book by Norton Juster, "The Phantom Tollbooth" is all about the importance of thought and learning. Its message may grow tiring to some adult viewers after a while, but it has a nice pace that should keep most viewers interested, along with creative animation and bizarre situations! Sure, it's yet another story that feels in some ways like a "Wizard of Oz" retread, but it's different enough to be worthwhile. The overall 1970 look of the film puts one in mind of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" during the live-action sequences, but this only adds to the film's charm. Let's hope a DVD release comes along sooner or later. I know many people are waiting for it!

Can't understand the negative reviews!

I just want to say that I absolutely love this movie, and I am a grown woman (41). I saw this as a teenager, and was so taken by it, I purchased it for my children. I fell in love all over again! I just think the the negative reviews are short sighted, and wanted to tell anyone that they SHOULD get this, they will love it!!
