Help me!!!

My favorite cartoon in the world is The Dot and the Line. It is a book, that Chuck Jones adapted into an award winning feature. Its a beautiful story about a line that is in love with a dot, who is intrigued by the skwiggle and his craziness. The Line does what he can to win her over and in turn they become some trippy shapes and stuff.

Well, Its my favorite, and I would love to have a copy handy to watch it whenever I want. But sadly, it was never adapted to DVD or VHS. It still is on The Cartoon Network, but doesnt play often.

What Im asking, is if any of my homies can find a copy of this video online for me, whether from a bootleg recorded, or maybe even get lucky and find something I couldnt online.

Thanks in advance.

Oh, that sucks! But while I was searching the net, I found someone that said "The Dot and the Line" was released as a bonus feature on the Phantom Tollbooth DVD (Chuck Jones directed both). Maybe you could look for that? (not sure if it's true or not...)

(According to what I could find and put together)

It was supposed to be released, but never was. There is a Phantom Tollbooth VHS, but the DVD never went to market. I havent seen anything with a pre-order or further information.

Man, I would love if I could find this....

What happened to Zero-S??? Nothing yet???

Yeah I just found the same info, too. Plus the fact that I couldn't find it anywhere was a good indication. It's a shame they never released that as I love both the Phantom Tollbooth and The Dot & The Line.

But if you ever see in the TV listings for a show on Cartoon Network called "The Chuck Jones Show" (or something like that) I think they'll air it then.
