Title: Chuck in Wackyland
Review: You can easily imagine how Norton Juster's whimsical, punning, and perfectly logical book might have appealed to Chuck Jones; his adaptation of Juster's "The Dot and the Line" had won an Oscar. Parts of this occasionally doleful transfer are effective, and the vocal talent is impeccable: Mel Blanc, Hans Conreid, June Foray. But the musical score is almost unbelievably poor (Leonard Maltin's capsule review refers to the songs as "icky"), the character designs pale in comparison with the nifty pen-and-inks Jules Feiffer drew for Juster's book, and Jones's Milo runs his hand through his forelock so often you want to break his wrist. Worth seeing, for Juster's admirers and Chuck Jones fanatics. But only once.
