comes home to find a large toy tollbooth sitting in his room. Joining forces
with a watchdog named Tock, Milo drives through the tollbooth's gates and
begins a memorable journey. He meets such characters as the foolish, yet

Macabre, who gives Milo the "impossible" mission of returning two princesses to
the Kingdom of Wisdom...
