I LOVE the Phantom Tollbooth! The jumping to conclusions part was definitely memorable, but my favorite was either the car that goes without saying, or the lady who had the sound board with all the different silences.
Got the answer to the "Phantom Tollbooth" hint even though I have no idea who that is. I mistyped another answer and by forgetting a letter there I got it.
Gotta ask. Who is Tyler Perry and why should we know his favourite character? I know I'm an old fuddy duddy and the older I get the less I know about pop culture.
Not a notion on the Tyler Perry/Madea Simmons and Phantom Tollbooth/Milo questions. Are they an American thing that hasn't made it over the pond? Never heard of either of them.
The Phantom Tollbooth is a children's book (à la Dahl)
by Norton Juster. It was my favorite book growing up, and I secretly still read it now as an adult.
Tyler Perry is an African American actor/director/writer that makes movies primarily directed towards the black community in the States. His most popular character is Madea--essentially Perry in drag.
You've GOT to get your hands on The Phantom Tollbooth! Great book for the kids, with a lot of important lessons taught in a humorous, memorable way. Great story too!
Holy crap I tried a lot of spellings for "Maleficent". Closest guess was "Malificent". Might need a bit more leeway on that one. Far more people know the answer than know how to spell it.
