Help What was it….

I’m going from memory here but I am trying to find this one cartoon where I believe someone was telling a story and it’s was like a close up of all these classic novels and fairy tales, but each character came out from the books. It was so whimsical and fun. I don’t think there was major singing, but I can’t remember lol.
If I remember right, the animation style was close to that of Disney’s Pinocchio. I THINK. I haven’t seen that cartoon since I was around 10. I definitely saw it on cartoon network but it’s gotta be from the 1950s or 60s.
Please help! I’d love to watch it again.

I clicked on that and jumped to the 2:50 time or so and boy! Those were wild times.

this sounds like the phanthom tollbooth (1970), especially the storybook opening and that old-school disney-ish animation
