Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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

Video Description

From KIDS FIRST!: Ralph and his motorcycle have entertained kids for decades, and this DVD brings the fun into your home for the entire family to enjoy together. Starring young Fred Savage, Summer Phoenix, Sara Gilbert, Kellie Martin, Mark Hamill and Nichelle Nichols, “Runaway Ralph” is a delight for all ages. Ralph, a young mouse, decides that he’s going to run away from the hotel his family lives in so he sets out on his toy motorcycle and ends out in a camp where he meets Garf. Things aren’t so great when a mean cat appears in the picture. As Garf and Ralph bond and try to deal with the cat they learn lessons about teamwork, friendship and also come to realize that home might not be such a bad place after all. “Runaway Ralph” inspires children to find reasonable, positive solutions to problems and addresses issues such as making friends and resolving conflict in non-violent ways and overcoming fears. It’s appropriately pace and engages and entertains bother adults and children. Child Juror Comments: This was a fun movie to watch because the mouse thought he could do anything then he saw a car and fell on his motorcycle. He was almost eaten by a cat. The good thing is that he made a friend at the camp. My friends would like this because it’s about a mouse who runs away. Mice are cool. Everything looked good except for the mouse and cat. They were fake. The cat was mean to the mouse. Ralph was mean to his siblings at first, but other than that, everyone was nice. Ralph was kind to his siblings at the end. My favorite part was when Ralph tied up the cat. He was tricky.

5.0 out of 5 stars They don't get any better than this, December 24, 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.
