Does anybody remember this stop-animation (or maybe claymation) movie?

Question

When I was in grade school (late 1980's) I saw a children's movie that I have been trying to locate for years. From what I remember, a boy breaks a window (possibly with a baseball) and somehow ends up inside a board game. He has to make his way to the end of the game before the time runs out to win. He just barely gets to the end in time, diving through the castle door as the draw bridge comes up behind him. That's all I can remember from the plot.

I believe it starts out with live actors, and then switches to either stop-animation or claymation. Any ideas?

Answer 2

i became a baby even as it first got here out too, and concept it became a good action picture. it became on the disney channel the different day and that i watched it with my 3 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous son...he loved it. it extremely made him snort out loud. any action picture that would make a three 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous practically roll on the floor guffawing is a most suitable action picture
