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
