"The Phantom Tollbooth: Beyond Expectations" is a documentary by Brooklyn-based filmmaker Hannah Jayanti about the classic children's book. The film playfully explores the creation, creators, lasting impact and enduring relevance of one of the most universally beloved children's books of our time. Through interviews with Norton Juster, Jules Feiffer, Eric Carle, David Hyde Pierce, and Adam Gopnik, as well as animation and archival materials, the documentary traces the friendship between Juster and Feiffer, and the wit and wisdom of the novel over half a century.

The New Yorker's Adam Gopnik called the documentary "a charming and soulful film" while Whitney Matheson of USA Today said, " I loved how it transported me back to my childhood."
