    The phantom tollbooth??
    I was trying to think of this movie from my childhood (1980's) about a kid who is sitting in his room when a giant present with a big yellow bow flies into his window. It's a tollbooth (or phonebooth) and when he steps in it flies out his window and into an animated world. That's all I can remember and I thought it was called "The Phantom Tollbooth" but when I tried googling it nothing came up. Any takers?

    Oh my word, that is one of my favorite books! It was only made into video and is now out of print. Here is a link to where you can buy used copies which are expensive collector items now.

    Have you seen Nilsson's The Point too? That is almost as wonderful!
