ok this movie is really haunting me. what I remember was that it had a boy named milo (I think) he was very clumsy and absent minded. he drove a car through the garage door and would recive cassette tapes in coconuts from a gut who may have been christopher Lloyd or some one like that. any way at the end milo flys off in a lawn chair tied to balloons. Please help!

this was the answer for a question asked after yours, they might be the same movie??

Movie is called The Phantom Tollbooth
"Milo is a boy who is bored with life. One day he comes home to find a toll booth in his room. Having nothing better to do, he gets in his toy car and drives through - only to emerge in a world full of adventure."

Here was there question:
Hey. this has been bugging me. i used to watch this movie when i was a kid. so maybe later 80's or a early 90's movie. There a young boy (cant remember his name), and a tollbooth. all i remember is that he get in the tollbooth and travels to a different world, and he becomes cartoon, but when he goes back home he is not cartoon anymore. i know there is a childrens book called the magic tollbooth. and im guessing the movie title is something like that but i cant remember. for some reason i keep thinking its called "james and the magic tollboth" but then i think his name is Milo.....i dunno. maybe im jus making all this stuff up. lol. does this sound familiar to anyone????

Thanks, but was the Phantom Tollboth a cartoon? The one I'm talking about was live action.

i have no idea...i've never seen it. i looked up the name Milo on imdb and nothing even came close to your description...when i read the other question, it seemed a little similar to yours...your description sounds familar, but nothing is popping in my head. i'm sure someone will get it.

I just found something on imdb. Delivering Milo 2001...the cover has a kid hanging from a balloon???

Strange that kind of sounded close, but my movie was from the early 80's.
