Makes Walter Mitty look like an under-achiever!, 19 June 2001
10/10
Author: Robert Reynolds (minniemato@hotmail.com) from Tucson AZ

Nominated for an Oscar, this cartoon is a takeoff on Walter Mity, with a small boy named Ralph Phillips surpassing Mitty in inventiveness. Thoroughly engaging and extremely hilarious, the situations Ralph imagines are wonderful and so off-beat (particularly his bout with mathematics!) that the cartoon can be watched again and again without getting old or growing flat. Most highly recommended.
