traveling in stamps???


anyone remember a movie that may have come out around the time of PBS where some kids got sucked into a stamp on a letter, then traveled via postal service until the letter reached it's destination? they weren't 'free' from the stamp un til the letter was opened by the person it was adressed to. one kid's last stop was in Australia and some girl was terrified when he flew out of the stamp, although he walked funny cause he had to pee really bad??!! i don't know.

Wow this is funny, I've been trying to remember the name of that movie too for a while now and I just found out a few minutes ago by coming to this page. That movie is actually the recommendation from this movie and it's called Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller.

I was watching Stephen King's "It" and I saw the guy from Mr. Boogedy was in it so I went to the page to find his name so I could find that movie and then I remembered I also liked The Peanut Butter Solution when I was young and that led me to Tommy Tricker, I used to watch all these movies on the Disney channel back in the day. This brings back A LOT of memories...

thnks! i posted my q before thuroughly scanning these message boards (there are a LOT of memories stirred up here!).... Tommy freaking Tricker. what a weird movie! do you remember the one about two girls (trapped? locked? held against their will somehow) in a foster home or something, but they were not supposed to know about each other or talk to each other for some reason? they were also eating cream of wheat with raisins in it. the foster parents were corrupt in some way, if i remember correctly which i don't. i know it's vague but i thought you may remember because you watched the same stuff as me... someone brings this movie up elsewhere in the message boards, too. thnks again!
