A must-see for Chuck Jones fans!
I feel bad for a lot of underrated movies, mostly because the people who’d like them the most have probably never heard of them. I argue that Chuck Jones is the most important of the animation directors of the Golden Age of Cartoons, and this is his only full-length feature. If you like his cartoons, you should definitely hunt for this charming adaptation of Norton Juster’s charming (if pedantic) novella.

Here’s the interesting thing about “Phantom Tollbooth”. Neither the book nor the movie strike me as a children’s’ story. Don’t get me wrong, kids will probably like this movie, particularly older kids, but it’s more for adults who can get the puns and such. Adult will also probably appreciate the psychedelic artwork from longtime Jones collaborator Maurice Noble. The amoebic Doldrums are a highlight as is the Awful DYNN, a manic crayon scrawl, and the cities of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis; they look like a riot at the Avant-garde Graphic Design class. Adorable and very, VERY sixties.

Masterful teaching tool and enjoyable cartoon feature
The favorite cartoons to this day of a boyhood friend and I are those of the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. They are the creation of animator, cartoonist, writer and director Chuck Jones. He also created other cartoon characters (Pepé Le Pew) and directed many animated shorts with other well-known cartoon characters (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig) in the mid-20th century.

Besides his animal caricature cartoons, Jones created animation shorts with an educational theme. He won an Oscar in 1965 for an early such short, “The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics.” It’s a very clever, funny and entertaining short. I was not aware of “The Phantom Tollbooth” until recent years. I was one of a typical American householder busy raising a family during those years. That was a time when parents seldom could make it out to the movies.

But, it’s never too late to enjoy a good cartoon, or movie. So, I have enjoyed discovering shorts such as “The Dot and Line” and movies such as “The Phantom Tollbooth” in my later years. An interesting thing about this animated film is that it’s likely way over the heads of young audience that it is about, but clearly aimed at the parents of those kids. The story is based on a book by Norton Juster, who also wrote the story and screenplay for “The Dot and the Line.”

Apparently, Juster was motivated in this story by what he saw in the classrooms of the day. That would be a boredom, laziness and listlessness of many students. So, those subjects become part of the film (the Doldrums, etc.). This is a clever tale, and fun way that the creators turn live action into animation. The characters within the story all show great imagination, and each is aimed to address some characteristic that goes against logic or education.

The right age for grasping this subject in the early decades of the 21st century would likely be in the upper elementary grades (4 for the brightest kids, 5 for eager, interested kids, 6 for slower kids). Even then, most may have problems with some words, and that can be a good aid to get them scurrying to the dictionary or looking up words on their electronic devices.

This animated movie is a good social picture of the culture of the time, while serving as an educational vehicle in itself. And, it’s a very enjoyable and entertaining feature as well. At the very least, this is a fine teaching tool aimed at parents. If we let kids go like Milo at the start, they’ll fall way behind in life.

A number of actors voice the cartoon characters in the film – all very well. Many of the names are plays on words and the language itself. Some favorite characters are Officer Short Shrift, the Whether man, and the Official Which (sic) of the Kingdom of Wisdom. At one point, Tock The Watchdog says, “That’s why people don’t seem to care anymore which words they use as long as they use lots of them.”

A favorite line amidst the running witty dialog is said by King Azaz. He tells Milo, “You may ask all the questions that have never been answered. And answer all the questions which have never been asked.”
