Nate A A wholesome and nostalgic Christmas movie! Worth a watch! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review SkyRo P Upon reading reviews of the film, I find myself puzzled by the differing opinions. Personally, I believe that "Casper" is a fantastic and magical movie that delivers great entertainment, particularly in its original form. The lovable character of Casper, along with the comical uncles, creates a delightful and enjoyable cinematic experience. Christina Ricci's performance is outstanding, and Devon Sawa shines as Casper, making the movie a standout in the genre. Despite my positive view, I feel that critics have not given this film the credit it truly deserves. It has rightfully earned its place as a classic and a beloved cult favorite. However, when it comes to the sequels like "Casper Meets Wendy," I must admit that the magic of the original film seems to have faded. The rushed and lacking plot fails to capture the charm of the first movie, leaving viewers feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. Similarly, "Casper: A Spirited Beginning" and "Casper's Haunted Christmas" fall short of replicating the success of the original. These films struggle to maintain the charm and appeal of the first movie, ultimately becoming forgettable and difficult to enjoy. While I have revisited the original "Casper" film numerous times, I have only watched the sequels a couple of times at most. The magic and nostalgia of the first movie remain unmatched, leaving the subsequent films unable to recapture the same enchanting quality. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review r 9 'Casper's Haunted Christmas' goes fully animated, which - if you've seen how bad the partial animation has been in the live-action hybrid follow-ups - was obviously going to lead to a far poorer product. This 2000 release drags and overstays its welcome and that's despite an ~80 minute run time - it's a very dull film, to look at and to take in. Brendon Ryan Barrett is, despite his best efforts I'm sure, ill-fitting to voice Casper, due to his deeper tone - the character should sound kid-like; interestingly though, Barrett starred as the main child character in 'Casper: A Spirited Beginning'. I will actually give minute praise for one aspect of the film: the throwaway humour was actually, relatively (!), alright - one or two bits got the slightest of chuckles out of me, to be fair. It doesn't help the production at all, but it's something I guess. The only interesting thing about these films at this point is the filmmaking company changes. From standouts like Amblin Entertainment and Universal Pictures for the original, to Saban Entertainment and The Harvey Entertainment Company for the initial two follow-ups and now predominantly just the latter for this and the next follow-up. Gotta admire the resilience to keep the series going! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review adam b Big oof. This should of been never released Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What a huge letdown. I like Casper but he wasn't the right character for a Christmas movie. The computer animation was low budget and the movie itself was boring. I don't recommend it.
