Can anyone name this film?

I've been trying to remember the name of a film I watched a few times in the 90s but I can't.

It was a cartoon film with a boy who drove a car through some kind of machine (I think) on the other side he was instructed to move a huge pile of salt or stones from one space to another using chop sticks - which he worked out was totally pointless

I think he had some kind of guide with him along his adventure - maybe a dog?

The rest of the film I don't really remember, it was a bit dream like and eventually I think the boy made it back to his home/ world

Anyone remember this at all?! It's been driving me crazy trying to remember and I'm almost at the point where I'm doubting it even exists

Is it The Phantom Tollbooth? That had a car and a boy that went through a machine into a cartoon land. Think it was made in the 80s but I saw it in the 90s too and loved it as a kid!
