The Phantom Tollbooth/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Milo is played in the live action segments and voiced in the animated segments by Butch Patrick, best known as Eddie Munster.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: Voice acting legend Mel Blanc performs the voice of several characters. There's a bit of a fail here, as some characters sound exactly like Blanc's previous characters: The Dodecahedron sounds exactly like Bugs Bunny and The Demon of Insincerity sounds like Yosemite Sam.
    • There are in fact a number of other well-known voice performers in the cast for the discerning ear to discover:
      • The Whether Man is Daws Butler.
      • Hans Conried was both King Azaz and the Mathemagician.
      • June "Rocky the Squirrel" Foray voiced Ralph, The Which and the Princess of Pure Reason.
      • Frequent Disney voice performer Candy Candido was the Awful Dynne.
      • Disney voice actor and singer Thurl Ravenscroft voices some of the Lethargians.
  • X Meets Y: The book can probably be described as Alice in Wonderland meets The Wonderful Wizard of Oz with a dash of Dr. Seuss thrown in.
