60s/70s/80s children's film?

[RoRo_Inty]

There was a film that begins with a boy talking on the phone to his friend, when a random present appears and he opens it to find a car. He gets in it with his dog, leaving his friend on the line, and the car started spinning taking him into an animated world of maths and equations etc, and he has to help these 3 princesses...in the end he rescues them and gets back home to find time hasn't passed, and then his friend tells him over the phone that a random present has appeared in his room....

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT FILM IT IS? I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR OVER 10YEARS!!!! (thanks)

Doesn't ring a bell ~ although I have to say it might have been an episode of the Twilight Zone or maybe Outer Limits?

There is a Twilight Zone episode guide here if it helps..
