Yes it really is a movie...based on a book, I think by Norton Juster. It's mostly animation but is bookended with live action film.

It's about a boy, Milo from memory, who hates school work. The Phantom Tollbooth turns up and he drives his toy car through it into an animated world where he must rescue Rhyme and Reason using language and mathematics.

The kid in me obviously wants some attention

Well Wizard doesn't do much for, nor Shrek, and Fantasia did even less for me, sorry to say.

BUT the 5 rental videos we have at home at the moment are :

• Sleeping Beauty
  Cinderella
  Peter Pan
  Bambi
  Snow White And The 7 Dwarves

(because of course I am making my first visit to Disneyland in November!!)

We really wanted to get hold of Alice In Wonderland but it was out on hire already

dont like Shrek??!! you must be the first person in human history that i have ever met that doesnt like Shrek!! wow!

oh well it takes all kinds to make a world eh? LOLS ..

fantasia has never done it for me either Toy "Story and Toy Story 2 are more favs! just love em

The Iron giant was excellent too but it could be classified as science fiction adventure i guess

there are lots of great kids movies ..

I like the evil "Snow white" movie with i forget now who .. Drew Barrymores Ever After was a good cinderella that i liked too

mmm .. there are so many ..

"Hook" was a fun romp too. Robin Williams as a grown up Peter Pan, Julia Roberts and Tinker Bell and Dustin Hoffman as Hook. My kids love it

Oh my, Sky! You've never heard of the Phantom Toll Booth. It's a classic! The book anyway. Never saw the movie.

well i will just haveto see it!! lol

it sounds a blast!!

The Indiana Jones movies are among my favorites

oooh yeah .. how could i have left them out!!! LOL

i saw Lady Hawke on friday .. and boy was I shocked .. that movie is really dated now

I borrowed Ladyhawke about a year ago, couldn't get more than 10 minutes in ... the music alone killed it for me!

yeah it was the music that killed me too

Ooh ooh ooh! Salute Of The Jugger!

And Flesh & Blood!

Both great Rutger films!

Ladyhawke had an excellent story line. I loved it And Mathew Broderick is so funny in that movie...

ah well, to each their own

Lady Hawke does have a great story line and Broderick is very funny as mouse lol .. and I have always loved LH .. but how long has it been since you last saw it?

for me it had been years .. and it is quite a shock how dated it is

and the intro music is truly horrifying .. LOL

but the movie is still good inspite of being dated and tragically scored

What's wrong with the music? I haven't seen the movie.

Its like 80s keyboard stuff all the way through ... like a Georgio Moroder tune ... umm imagine if Argento made really bad films but still used Goblin for the score!

I liked the music...LOL!! I must have very bad taste...hehe

Not sure what is meant by "dated". I find it sort of timeless. I actually watched it maybe 3 or 4 months ago. I love the story about the curse and the evil bishop... In fact, the evil bishop is where I got the idea for Sar Lok, in loose terms. But, the idea of an evil church and demon spawned from the bishop in Ladyhawke.

I wanted Fist to see it because Navarre turns into the wolf at night. I know he loves wolves

lol well if you liked the music .. ok then

nuff said

the story itself is timeless i agree .. and really worth seeing Fist ..

Anybody ever see the H.R Pufnstuf movie and Kids T.V programmes in the 70's?, really fantastic for kids.
