I'm trying to find the name of a really bad 70's-80's movie. He goes through the door and to another "world" where he has to get through the "duldrums" and meets the "weather man". It is an educational movie.
PLEASE HELP!!

sounds like The Phantom Tollbooth. Never seen the movie, but the book is supposed to be much better. In the book he comes home & finds a large box with a toy/electric car big enough for him to sit in and a mock tollbooth. When he goes through, he finds himself in another land.

...frightfilmfan, to the rescue!!!
The film you so desperately seek, is none other than "The Phantom Tollbooth"; it was based upon a children's novel by Norton Juster, and transformed into a part live-action/part cartoon feature film in 1970. The film was directed by Mel Blanc, the master voice behind the classic Bugs Bunny & Road Runner cartoons. Regrettably, it has not been released on DVD yet, and the VHS tape has been long out of print (Sniff!!!)
...and so, 'frightfilmfan' disappears into the night, as quickly as he came, having triumphed once again!!!

"The Adventures Of Milo And The Phantom Tollbooth" starring Butch Patrick ("Eddie Munster") and animation by Chuck Jones released by MGM. Actually released in the late 1960's and based on Norton Juster's book.
