The Phantom Tollbooth
For the boy Milo, every day is boring and nothing in the life can hold his interest. One afternoon, amidst his usual time wasting, a magic tollbooth appears in Milo's bedroom. Believing he has nothing better to do with his day, Milo hops in the car and unknowingly sets off on a wild adventure through the Kingdom of Wisdom.
