Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help. I used to rent the same movie weekend after weekend when I was younger. I loved this moive... but parents never thought to write down the title though. I've been trying to figure out the name of the movie for years. All I can remember is that the movie invoved both real actors and then became an animated cartoon. It started with a boy who received a large present, when he opened it, it was a huge car wash. He then received another present which was a toy sports car. The boy got into the car with his dog and drove through the car wash, turning into a cartoon by the other end and entering a different cartoon world...
Does this sound farmiliar to anyone... or did I imagine the whole thing!? :p Please Help! Thanks.:D

You didn't imagine it,
Its 'The Phantom Tollbooth'

Except he met the dog 'tock' in the cartoon world, and it was a tollbooth he drove through, not a carwash.

It's a great movie I love it.
