I think the phantom tolbooth is really quirky and it has some great puns. I think it is a book where you have to think about the context before you get the joke, though.
I think the movie is OK, but the Doldrums part is really boring.
I am more of a book person, but I like movies too.
No, I think the movie is bad. It has also created the much repeated doldrums song which I am not much of a fan of.
ReplyDeleteYou may have to remember that the Phantom Tolbooth was made in 1970, so the technology they used to make it wasn't great compared to the stuff we have now. Also, during that time most movies had lots of weird songs in them, and most movies were 'musicals.'
