Once upon a time, there were some people called the Rushers of Din. Each night as they slept, sweet dreams were delivered to them from sunny Frivoli, while nightmares came to them from the mysterious Murkworks. But the malevolent master of the Murk, Synonamess Botch, was not content. He wanted the Rushers to have non-stop nightmares. To do that, he would need to gain control of the Cosmic Clock. To accomplish this, he kidnaps the deliverers of the dreams, Greensleeves and the Figmen of Imagination, and then tricks Ralph, the All-Purpose Animal and his pal Mumford into stealing the mainspring from the Cosmic Clock. Realizing they've been tricked, Ralph and Mumford try to get the spring back and prevent Botch from unleashing his nightmare bombs. Along the way, they get help from their Fairy Godmother, Greensleeves' niece Flora Fauna, the junior varsity superhero Rod Rescueman, and Botch's own head nightmare writer, Scuzzbopper.

| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesAnimation fans, and admirers of pure cinema in general, owe it to themselves to see this at least once. |
| User ReviewCraig MMany Gen Xers remember the "dirty" version of this hilarious movie airing on HBO in the 80s. HBO was sued and now the clean version airs on the occasional children's channel. |
| User ReviewGrant FNot just "Want To See".. I WANT this movie. |
| User ReviewMel VA great child's film for people of all ages. Just fantastic! The script is wonderful and full of wit and humor. The voices are just perfect. Very far from Star Wars. |
| User ReviewGraham MI wish this would come out on DVD or BluRay - I absolutely LOVE this movie. |
| User ReviewJoey GI havnt seen this since i was frikin 9 and now i know why i stayed to watch it!!! the animation was so different!!!!!!!!!!!!1 |
| User ReviewOryanna CAn excellent movie with a very unique animation style. It was very hard to find, but luckily they had it at my local video store on VHS and I managed to make a copy for myself. |
| User ReviewBenjamin PTruly one of the best animated films of all time, and it's been one of my favorites for 13 years! It's in an unusual style dubbed 'Lumage.' Unavailable on DVD, but downloadable on amazon's Unbox service! Sadly, the only way to get the raunchier uncut version is through bootlegs. |
| User ReviewMallory BAn absolute classic which is hard to find, but should u get ur hands on it or find it on ur computer, it's a must watch. |
| User ReviewNathaniel KEven though you can only fnd it on VHS, this is one of the best animated movies of all time, not to mention groundbreaking for the time. The addition of improv artists as voice actors was a nice choice also, adding an almost mature humor without being vile, and yet not being to kiddish. If you haven't seen it and want to go into animation, what's wrong with you? And for everyone else, you gotta see it once. |
