Argh! I’m glad I forgot to send in my Top Ten predictions because I would have been wrong from the beginning. I completely overlooked this. I’m not sure I would have placed it so high, but it is nice to see.

the book is dated – was clever for the time but still dated

I like the Mel Blanc theory. But honestly, I don’t know. I was hoping you folks might.

Who was that voice in the trailer, Betsy? I did like the Indian-ish sitar music playing when the movie moved to animation.

Someone send me to stand in the corner! I forgot the Phantom Tollbooth! But, argghh, which one on my list to knock out of the top ten now?

I have 6 potential top ten lists and didn’t send any of them…Crudmonkeys! Serves me right for waiting to see if yesterdays #11 would make it easier to choose one list. I should have sent it on Sunday when I poured over them for ages (driving my husband insane with “Okay, Charlotte’s Web is definitely my people’s choice number 1, but what is people’s choice number 2…hmmmmm”). Oh well, I am now discarding the 5 lists that *didn’t* have Tollbooth at #10 and still playing along with my remaining list…
