Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller is the name of a 1988 Canadian film, which features one of the first appearances of Rufus Wainwright. Wainwright also provides the song I'm a Runnin' and his sister, Martha Wainwright, provides the song Tommy, Come Back for the soundtrack.

It is a children's film in which a young boy, Ralph, and his sister discover a magical ability to travel the world riding within postage stamps. Complicated by a series of rules, they are soon lost in such far-flung places as Australia and China. Ralph is plagued by a debilitating stutter, and the film is essentially a coming-of-age story wherein Ralph can speak unfettered by the movie's end.

The movie was written and directed by Michael Rubbo and is the 7th in the Tales for All (Contes Pour Tous) series of children's movies created by Les Productions la Fête.
