The Phantom Tollbooth Review

For Families provided by Common Sense Media

OK for kids 8+

Clever artistry fails to convey the book's depth.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that there is some mild peril to the main characters, but nothing of concern. The film addresses the importance of learning.

  • Families can talk about how the book differs from the cartoon. If you saw the cartoon first, how did it influence how you imagined the book? If you read the book first, did the cartoon live up how you imagined the characters, the settings, and the action of the book?
