The Phantom Tollbooth

Saturday 30th March, 2013

MAC | 15:00 - 16:30

The late, great Chuck Jones' only full-length feature comes in the form of this charming oddity.

Bored at home one day, young boy Milo receives a mysterious package and is suddenly transported from live-action San Francisco to the animated Kingdom of Wisdom, where a battle is underway between words and numbers. Based on the popular children’s book by Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth is the only full-length movie directed by the late, great Chuck Jones, and among many vocal talents it features the unmistakeable Mel ‘Bugs Bunny’ Blanc. A charming oddity, full of great songs and psychedelic touches.

Dir: Chuck Jones, USA 1971, 90 mins
