My 14 buddies Nick Pennachini Charlie Iseman Scott Masters Cody Howard Tyler Cleaver Chris Amaral Chris Hennessy Jamie Lailiberty Derek Drennan Joseph Larue Mitchell Spaulding Charlie Morris Eddie Petley and Chuckie McCoy Wrote the song Milo's theme From the 1970 animated MGM film The phantom tollbooth
Fun fact: This movie was filmed in 1967 and completed by 1968 but wasn't released until 1970 as the MGM offices were going through turmoil at that time. Which is why Butch Patrick, who would have been nearing his 20s in the 1970s, looks about 14 here.
Me too since 1986 when i was 4 when i saw this on video and one of my childhood faves with Star Wars trilogy, The Dark Crystal, Ghostbusters, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Disney stuff (even saw Great Mouse Detective and Oliver and Company 4 times in theaters in 86 and 88) plus Sword in The Stone, The Secret of NIMH, The Last Unicorn (remember this one?), Flight of Dragons, Tron, Star Trek II, Krull, Superman 1 & 2 and more.
Heh, I saw this film first in the 6th grade....it's still one of my favorites...and I think relevant even more today, not just for kids, but for everyone.
"See how interesting life can be!" are my favorite lyrics from this song, Because it's true life can be unfair and boring sometimes but it can also be filled with wonder, excitement and adventure if you let it.
This movie, and especially the book, is believe it or not, even more relevant today than it was then. Such a fantastic book, and incredible movie. So many people today desperately need to at least watch this movie.
Finally!! I've never searched so long and hard for anything else in my life before. I have no words to describe my feelings right now. Just... just thank you, dude, girl or whatever:P THANK YOU!!
I love this opening score. So typically late 60s. Read the book in 5th grade math class. As a treat we got to see the movie when we finished the book. Thanks Mrs. Brink; for being kind and sharing the best with your students.
FUN MOVIE, great eye candy!!! And sure, the opening number sounds partly like Bachrach, but sounds way more like (one of my faves) the Fifth Dimension's "Up, Up, and Away". :) Too bad the soundtrack isn't out, it really is catchy and laid-back. :) However, it is also downright sad MGM lacked the financial resources to promote the movie because it was on the verge of bankruptcy throughout the 1960's. Such a bona fide gem of Chuck Jones' pure genius gone unnoticed....
Man alive i remember watching this in fourth grade with my class. Wed get the snacks and have a good time. Currently a junior in high school and doing a bunch of tedious things. This really takes me back to a simpler time
BenMag626 lol wait until you’re 30-something to feel nostalgic. I remember watching this in Italy in 1985 when I was 4, with no idea the movie was 20 years old already then.
You don't have to be a certain age to feel nostalgia. by definition, Nostalgia is a sentimentality for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations. Anyone can feel nostalgia for anything
Even Jones vaguely mentions this in his 1989 autobiography as "a critical success, a box office question mark", without providing any info or full color plates in the photo insert. Still a genuine classic in my book and for anyone who wants to re-live the 60's and 70's all over again :)
MILO! WATCH OUT FOR THE: 1 Ominously tall concrete stairs you could fall down! 2 Creepy back alley where kidnappers and hoodlums might hang out! 3 The "NO PARKING" sign post you almost walked right into and hit your head on! 4 The moving train! 5 The Cement mixer that could drown you in cement at any moment! 6 Old guy/ pedophile with mysterious bag walking suspiciously close to you! 7 The "DANGER Truck Crossing" area. There might be trucks crossing! 8 Being in a construction site with no helmet! 9 The Arc Welder! 10 The Kid too young to be running with fireworks! 11 While crossing the street, you might be hit by a car! 12 Giant cargo container being lifted over your head by a forklift of unknown stability! 13 The firetruck! 14 The second FIRETRUCK! 15 The cable car that almost hit with the one you are riding in! 16 The evil clown that probably runs that merry-go-round! 17 The goat that almost ate your face! 18 The dark forest you are walking towards 19 The steep hill covered in dandelions you might slip on! 20 The mean boy who might throw that basketball at your head! 21 The steep staircase you have to climb to get to your front door! Whew! Never mind. Your home.
The b-side for Paperback Writer. One of their best songs and it didn't appear on an album until the Hey Jude compilation in the US. For some reason it wasn't included on the Red Album.
One of the silver screen's great mysteries, is the exact date in which this scene was filmed. Butch Patrick was born in 1953, "The Phantom Tollbooth" was released in 1970, and yet, he is clearly much younger than seventeen here. If someone out there can identify the years, makes & models of the cars and trucks in the background, it might help shed some light on the conundrum. Incidentally, Lee Pockriss, who co-wrote this tune, died just last week at the age of 87.
An excellent story, on the importance of having context for education and how the splitting of academic learning along divisions of numeracy and literacy, and doing things just for the sake of doing them, to rid the process of rhyme/reason through standardized processes- took away the richness of learning and threw it into what looked controlled but was senseless chaos But all in allegory
The idea of a kingdom of words divorced from numbers, and a world of numbers divorced from words, seems ever more relevant to the world of professional hyper-specialization we live in.
Man, I remember the first time I saw this movie was on Cartoon Network in the late 1990's. I also remember when they even showed an animated version of The Hobbit. Those were the days: When Cartoon Network showed awesome classics like Birdman, Space Ghost, Top Cat, those other cats flying that Tomcat (lol), Jonny Quest!! Those were the days... Not this crap that's on now...
YES! Indeed! In my twenties, I was dealing with a romantic parting 💔 PLUS illness in my family. I would watch the Cartoon Network, which showed reruns of cartoons from the ‘70s. I would binge watch The Flintstones and Magilla Gorilla and Wait Til Your Father Gets Home and Popeye and pretend I was five years old again.
I'm trying to find a recording of this song. Did they make any soundtrack vinyl or anything? is there even a CD out there somewhere? If anyone knows, please tell me- I've been searching unavailingly for a while now
Will Scarlett Apart from the fact that you just responded to a three-year-old comment, Milo wasn’t depressed. He was bored. He never had anything to do. That’s why the tollbooth came. He was bored in school and never saw the fun in life. Go look at the lyrics to the theme song from the movie.
No wonder Milo is so snarked off at the beginning of the movie. He’s annoyed that his parents never sent him to a school nearer to his house. The poor lad had to make this journey twice a day for five days a week. A journey that took him through tunnels, dingy back streets, through stock yards with trains running through them. Into construction sites and factories, then into the shipyards, (with no hard hat mind you). He nearly gets run over by a fire truck , then he has to get a darn street car, through a fun fair and into a large meadow before he even gets home. His parents must really HATE this kid.
I think these opening scenes reference things Milo sees inside the Tollbooth; particularly all the mixed up teacher speech at the beginning. Kinda like he dreams of things that have happened on his way home.
How old is Milo supposed to be in this movie like 10 or 11? I always assumed that he was in 4th or 5th grade. I always wondered where his parents were and why he just lived by himself and not with any relatives. What kind of parents would allow their kid to live in a big city by himself like that without any adults around and how he pays the rent??? Sorry if I'm overthinking it but this is all stuff I've wondered since I was like 5 years old.
He almost gets a container dropped on him, ran over by TWO fire engines, the eaten by goats! Kid! Get an Uber! I saw this when I was about 9 and loved it, then spent the next 20 years trying to find it again. Still remember sitting on the rug next to the fire on a dark, winter’s Friday afternoon in 1979. Watching this and playing with Hot Wheels.
My eighties childhood movie along with Star Wars trilogy, dark crystal, last unicorn, secret of nimh, rock and rule, Pinocchio, flight of dragons, ghostbusters, Goonies and more
QUESTION FOR EVERYBODY: I want to use parts of this as part of an album of mine. Can I sell that track? or is this not old enough yet to use without the rights to the song/movie?
You might want to contact Warner Bros, since they just released the movie on DVD 2-3 years ago and MGM is practically dissolved. So apparently WB owns the rights, though I could be wrong. Still might be worth a shot, anyways :)
@IDLERACER What probably happened is that they filmed this scene, as well as the ending when he comes back home, in the mid-60s and then took several years to finish the animated part.
Josh Peterson They did the same with audio tracks for animated films...Disney released THE RESCUERS in 1977, and one of the characters was voiced by Joe Flynn--who had died three years before.
What's to become of Milo? What will he grow to be? Well, he looks at life, and he doesn't see. Doesn't see the bright blue sky, Doesn't hear the train go by, Doesn't sing a song!

@thehappiestcamper He doesn't realize where he is walking, he has a destination which he eventually reaches(his house), but his path may not be a path that he has chosen.

Heh, I saw this film first in the 6th grade....it's still one of my favorites...and I think relevant even more today, not just for kids, but for everyone.
Likewise. I Can Still Remember When This Was Shown on Cartoon Network Back in the 90's. When Cartoon Network Was Good!!!
I find Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) the best actor to play Milo. But when this movie is in the animated parts, Milo looks so damn adorable.
"See how interesting life can be!" are my favorite lyrics from this song, Because it's true life can be unfair and boring sometimes but it can also be filled with wonder, excitement and adventure if you let it.
This is also my favourite line in the song. It's a simple sentence but it resonates a lot.
@@LiamPorterFilms Indeed it does.
This movie, and especially the book, is believe it or not, even more relevant today than it was then. Such a fantastic book, and incredible movie. So many people today desperately need to at least watch this movie.
This and Return to oz make a good double feature
Finally!!
I've never searched so long and hard for anything else in my life before.
I have no words to describe my feelings right now.
Just... just thank you, dude, girl or whatever:P
THANK YOU!!
I can so relate!
:P

such a soothing 70's theme....
60's actually 😊
I love this style so much. Reminds me of the incidental music from the likes of The Rockford Files and Dragnet. Lots of jazz flute.
Dragnet!!
"There was once a boy named Milo who didn't know what to do with himself - not just sometimes, but always."
0:45
The end of the movie almost made me cry.
Jazz Bell me too!!! It was the first time I ever teared up watching a film
Me three. ;.) Classic, and one of the movies in my childhood that made me cry. Mostly it was the music.
Somtimes I feel like Milo. Ironically, this song puts me in a good mood
The Phantom Tollbooth had such a great outlook on things. I love it so much! It made me think about what it means.
This is my favorite movie ❤️ the song makes me so happy inside
Man alive i remember watching this in fourth grade with my class. Wed get the snacks and have a good time. Currently a junior in high school and doing a bunch of tedious things. This really takes me back to a simpler time

I know how Milo feels. I've felt the same way a few times. I didn't like school or math tests.
Even Jones vaguely mentions this in his 1989 autobiography as "a critical success, a box office question mark", without providing any info or full color plates in the photo insert. Still a genuine classic in my book and for anyone who wants to re-live the 60's and 70's all over again :)
I used to think Milo was a lot older because of this really long trip to school.
Carpenters, Bacharach, The Lettermen, Herb Alpert, Heinz Kiessling, Lex de Azevedo, LOVE this kind of music... 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍
MILO! WATCH OUT FOR THE:
1 Ominously tall concrete stairs you could fall down!
2 Creepy back alley where kidnappers and hoodlums might hang out!
3 The "NO PARKING" sign post you almost walked right into and hit your head on!
4 The moving train!
5 The Cement mixer that could drown you in cement at any moment!

7 The "DANGER Truck Crossing" area. There might be trucks crossing!
8 Being in a construction site with no helmet!

Chuck Jones really had a chance to show his stuff in the animated segments - gorgeous artwork.
Anyway, that guy in the streetcar wearing the yellow/orange sweater, that was Chuck Jones.
One of my favorite openings in a movie :)
Thank you for this.
This song gave me my first existential crisis at 6 years old and now It’s a soothing balm on my addled adult brain.

IDLERACER I see 1967 model cars...
And Norman Gimbel just passed on...
Yeah, it was filmed mid-60s but not released until 1970.
and Butch Patrick is the last surviving cast of this film
An excellent story, on the importance of having context for education and how the splitting of academic learning along divisions of numeracy and literacy, and doing things just for the sake of doing them, to rid the process of rhyme/reason through standardized processes- took away the richness of learning and threw it into what looked controlled but was senseless chaos

This song give me a weird feeling. Something eerie about it.

So, Milo is basically suffering from deep depression, right?
No lol he's just bored. That's why the phantom tollbooth comes.
Which is why I could never relate to him...I loved school and learning
Have u read the book if you read the book you would know
@@triple7marc Boredom can lead to depression.

Watched it as a kid back in the 1970s . 👍
To be very honest, this was my mom’s first movie she saw in the theaters when she was 6, it was years ago before I was even born.

This theme just takes me back... wonderfully sung by norman luboff choir...

And this scene gives me chills in a good way. And the music is great and I
"sub-Bacharach" LMAO perfect!
sub-bacharach, loved it. defines the kind of music I love.
Speaking of which, the song does relate to a bit of Burt Bacharach.
It's so classical. :)
Where can I download/buy this song, I love it!
thank you for posting this

1970's San Francisco? No way I'd be bored there.
Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics?
Try searching for the film's script.
What's to become of Milo?
What will he grow to be?
Well, he looks at life, and he doesn't see.
Doesn't see the bright blue sky,
Doesn't hear the train go by,
Doesn't sing a song!
Little fellow, what's wrong?
What's to become of Milo?
Lost in a vacant stare,
Doesn't have a dream,
Doesn't even care
He's a boy who might rise high,
Maybe even touch the sky,
All the world could be his pie if he'd only try!
Milo, open your eyes,
Look around you and see
See how interesting life can be.
Milo, aim for the sky
You could touch the sky, Milo
You could touch the sky.

Well spotted (or heard rather) :D
@thehappiestcamper He doesn't realize where he is walking, he has a destination which he eventually reaches(his house), but his path may not be a path that he has chosen.
Did anyone else saw the cameo by Chuck Jones towards the end of the song?
Yeah he's the guy with the orange sweater
3:02 you can hardly see it here but Chuck Jones has a cameo.
I can't find this on region 2 DVD anywhere...
Do you have the song Numbers are the only things that count
good movie but the book was of course way better!
It was great the Mel blanc and Daws bultler were in this movie
