The Phantom Tollbooth
One of my all time animated favourites, so colourful and funny! Definitely has greatly impacted my own art (as a aspiring animator lol)

The Phantom Tollbooth
Hugely enjoyed this!! The book is extremely nostalgic for me & this movie managed to exactly capture the magic I felt while reading it at age 10. I love the beautiful, 2D animation and the songs, as well as how faithful the animations are to the original illustrations. We need more children’s movies like these!!!
