“This was THE movie of my youth, yet none of my childhood friends have heard of it, let alone seen it. I suppose this Canadian production was released straight to video in Australia though, so probably no wonder.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story revolves around Ralph, an avid stamp collector, and his sister Nancy, who stumble across a mysterious collection that reveals a secret method of traveling across the world on a stamp. Yes, thatu0026#39;s right. The traveller repeats a certain chant then shrinks to a hundredth of his or her size, then literally falls into the stamp.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRalph decides to journey to Australia in hopes of uncovering a missing stamp collection for his dad, but after a series of misadventures, is misdirected to China by the local prankster, Tommy Tricker, who wants to find the expensive collection himself. The rest of the movie relates Ralphu0026#39;s stay in China, and the confrontation between he and Tommy in Australia.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a really enjoyable film. I know itu0026#39;s meant for elderly children, but I think anyone below 24 would be pleasantly surprised.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTommy Tricker reminds a bit of a more abrasive Joey Jeremiah from Degrassi High!”
