Please! Help me remeber this cartoon.

[Camaranth]

This has been bugging me for ages and I can't remember enough details for google to be of any help.

There was an educational cartoon I watched when I was a kid, it was based around mathematics. All I can remember is that the environment was kind of abstract (think Dr Seuss), there was a boy, a tall yellow hairy guy and some other guys but I can't recall what they look like.

The one scene I can recall is the group was at the top of a tower and talking about infinity. The overlord voice thing told them to think of the largest number they could so the tall yellow dude rhymes off a bunch of nines, the voice then says " now add one, and one again, and continue adding one."

I really want to know what this came from. If you have any idea please let me know! It has been bothering me for months.

Oh and I know it isn't Donald Duck in Math Magic land (Although that one is pretty amazing)


UPDATE: Yes it was the phantom toll booth. Thank you everyone for helping me with that!

Can't help you, but that scene does sound familiar. Now I need to know this as well.

Cyberchase?


No idea when this aired but was the only one I could find.

Would help with a little more information, like what years were your child hood?

Otherwise, yeah, that sounds like Cyberchase to me, but thats a little recent I think.

I think it was "the Phantom Tollbooth"

Edit: I saw it as a kid and for the longest time I couldn't remember the name and only recently have I been able t see it again

sounds like the movie version of The Phantom Tollbooth, it's an old movie, but has a scene like that

early 90s so I don't think it was cyberchase, the clip posted doesn't look familiar.
