Beverly Cleary's entertaining sequel to The Mouse and the Motorcycle comes to life in another stop-motion animation TV short, starring a young Fred Savage. Ralph, a squeaky-voiced mouse with a penchant for peanut butter, decides to run away from the Mountain View Inn when his uncle threatens to ground him for reckless motorcycle riding. He winds up at the Happy Acres Camp, where an unenthused camper named Garfield (Savage) captures the tiny rodent. When "Garf" saves Ralph from a hungry cat, Ralph starts talking and a friendship develops. Together, boy and mouse combat Garf's own desires to run away from a difficult situation and solve a camp mystery to boot. Wholesome fun best describes this 42-minute family feature, which does not rely on cliché-ridden dialogue or breakneck action. The '70s go-go style of music is a little dated and Ralph's stop-motion movements may seem a little jerky by today's animation standards, but he and his furry costars still garner plenty of appeal. Children 4 years old and up will easily comprehend this film's lesson about the importance of working through problems rather than avoiding them. --Liane Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars They don't get any better than this, December 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Runaway Ralph [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This classic needs to be in every video library. Children of all ages will find this movie irresistable. I'm ordering my 4th copy because friends and family have a cute way of begging my copy away from me and ironically, I have no children. When guests come over, a guaranteed way to capture the attention of their unruly children is to put this in the VCR. It usually captures the attention of the adults too. Unfortunately, the film is only 45 minutes long.
