What was that book.

I just remembered reading some book in grade 3, which was sort of like alice in wonderland, but with a boy instead of a girl.

I don't really remember the plot, but I know it involved travelling to another realm, and then visiting many different places with strange characters in that classic trippy childrens fantasy novel way.

I only remember one of the places was called like the dulldrums, or doldrums or something.

Does anybody know which book I'm thinking of?

Where the Wild Things Are

Saw a kickass flyer with the images taken from that book in amsterdam- one of the coolest flyers of all time in my book- wish i still had it.

This reminds me of phantom tollbooth (even though someone said another book)

There was a movie which ROCKED

EDIT: YES! YES! it was the phantom tollbooth if you're thinking of a time machine. WATCH THE MOVIE, it's fucking AWESOME

I never read the book though, always wanted to. Great story.

are you talking about an animated movie?

cuz i remember seeing that cartoon for it too

I'm trying to find it on youtube cuz I need to smoke a bowl and watch that thing, but no luck so far.

I do remember seeing the cartoon and thinking it wasn't nearly as good as the book though. The book was soooooo trippy.

beats and beeps, I have been trying to find this movie on-line ever since I had broadband

God, I haven't seen that movie in years and not being able to find makes me MAD

Youtube sadly doesn't have it.

Speaking of unfindable cartoon movies, I wish I could find all the cartoon Dr. Seuss movies

Beats and beeps, and anyone else who's interested! I downloaded the movie (took 60 hours, lawl), and I fucking loved it.

I'll seed it at full-speed if you want it. (100 kb+ upload speed)
