Premise

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 has a stutter, and the film is essentially a coming-of-age story wherein Ralph can speak fluently by the film's end.

gollark: And humans don't really have one as much as vague fuzzy processes for guessing what they should do at the time.
gollark: You can't blame it on imperfect information. People just *do not do what their self-professed goals say they should*.
gollark: Have you *seen* people? Humans aren't rational beings.
gollark: In the perfect one they probably would.
gollark: People do not actually act rationally.
