The Return of Tommy Tricker
Welcome to the world of stamps with Tommy Tricker and friends as they learn the magic of travelling through time and space for the mere price of the postage. Though of course, nothing is as easy as it seems as they soon learn when they try to rescue Charles Merriweather, a stamp traveller frozen in time since his last attempt at stamp- travelling, 65 years ago. But Charles turns out to be a girl, his sister Molly! And she is rapidly turning into an old woman. To find a cure, Tommy takes off in a race against the time that leads him and Molly to the exotic and magical South Pacific islands.

Before you choose
What kind of time-travel story is this?
Time travel is an important premise, with limited sustained exploration.
Meets the archive’s time-travel criteria. The mechanism is classified as Enchanted.
Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)
Confirmed 6/10: a magic stamp held a traveller for about 65 years, and the rescued 'Charles' turns out to be his sister Molly, who rapidly ages, sending Tommy on a race against time to the South Pacific for a cure. The lost decades drive the plot, but travel is by stamp through space, not through time.
Magical stamp travel crosses time and space; a stamp traveler has been frozen in time for decades.

How Titan works
Titan combines the archive’s quality, audience and legacy base with the significance of time travel. It is an index, not a score out of 100, and is distinct from the FMV archive’s scoring model.
Titan = base × [0.20 + 0.80 × (time-travel score ÷ 10)²]
This film: 48.54 base × 48.8% weighting.
Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
