It looks like young Keith Gridley will have a lonely summer, until he meets a talking mouse named Ralph. Ralph takes an immediate liking to Keith's toy motorcycle and can ride it just by making a motor noise. Ralph even acts heroically when Keith comes down with a nasty fever, while dodging cats, owls and a guest's noisy dog. Written by Dylan Self <robocoptng986127@aol.com>
OK...I have a weird fascination for movies with talking mice and this little TV movie started it all. Ralph has the cutest voice I've ever heard and because of that, I fell in love with this movie as a child and I still love it today. No..it's effects aren't up to today's standards, but I think that adds to its charm. This movie is a pleasant way to pass the time. And if you also like talking mice movies (am I the only one?) I suggest "The Witches" as well, but do NOT see "Mousehunt". The mouse doesn't even talk and it's still the best actor in the movie.
