    I had no idea this film existed until last night. It's currently available on the Criterion Channel. Trippy and often psychedelic, my first thought was to never *ever* watch this while I have a fever. And an aside: the Spelling Bee is adorable.

    The animation seems a little rough and a little rushed, but what the hell, it's Chuck Jones. Lots of familiar voice actors and singers if you've ever watched any Chuck Jones animated anything. And - obviously - it's based on the famous children's book The Phantom Tollbooth. I think the main selling point for this film is the off-the-wall animations.

    A truly beautiful film. That yellow glow is everything.

    Reading Nathan's bio of Mishima at the moment, and this was the perfect companion piece. Eerily beautiful. I'd love to see this film in MoC or Criterion's ranks.
