Plot: Based on the popular cartoon character, this family-oriented ghost story is about a not-so-scary spirit who bonds with a little girl (Christina Ricci). The eternally irritable Ms. Carrigan (Cathy Moriarty) discovers that the only thing she's been left in her recently departed father's will is a rickety old house in New England. Naturally, the woman is furious about this, until her close personal friend and assistant, Dibbs (Eric Idle of Monty Python fame), discovers a secret message that a treasure may be concealed somewhere in the house. The two take off for Maine, only to learn that the house is haunted by Casper the friendly ghost and his three ghostly uncles Stinky, Stretch, and Fatso. After futilely recruiting an exorcist (Don Novello, more or less reviving his Father Guido Sarducci character from Saturday Night Live) and a professional ghost exterminator (Dan Aykroyd), she brings in a ghost psychiatrist (Bill Pullman) and his daughter Kat (Ricci). Innocently attracted to the young girl, Casper befriends Kat as they try to save the ghosts' home from the evil Carrigan. Eye-popping special effects highlight this magical story that touches (albeit lightly) on the theme of what lies at the heart of human desires. Clint Eastwood, Rodney Dangerfield, Mel Gibson and The Crypt Keeper (of Tales from the Crypt) all make cameos as apparitions in the mirror Bill Pullman looks into in the house. ~ Don Kaye, All Movie Guide

I have grown up with this movie. It is an all time favorite of mine and I recommend this to absolutely everyone! Christina Ricci is adorable in this and Devon Sawas cameo as real life Casper is sweet!

In a small town in Main there is a legendary mansion called "Whipstaff Manor" which is rumored to be haunted by spirits yet it's true. a Lonely friendly ghost named Casper (Voiced by Malachi Pearson) is in need of a friend yet somehow doesn't seem to be making friends and his three mean uncles named Stinky (Voiced by Joe Alansky), Stretch (Voiced by Joe Nipote) and Fatso (Voiced by Brad Garret) loves scaring off intruders. A paranormalist named Dr. Harvey (Bill Pullman) and lovely daughter Kat (Christina Ricci) moved into the mansion for a new home and for studying on the paranormal as they don't know what to expect as Casper befriends them while the uncles want them out of the house.

Exciting, funny and well done adaptation of the popular Harvey comics! Directed by "City of Angels" director Brad Silberling, written by Animaniacs/Tiny Toons writer Sherri Stoner and produced by Steven Spielberg is definitely good fun for adults and kids. The special effects by Industrial Light and Magic are terrific and the film does co-star Cathy Moriartiy with Eric Idle and appearences by some famed stars including Dan Ackroyd. There is some emotional moments like the climax and of course good laughs abound, it's a nice hit movie for everyone.

This DVD contains a great widescreen picture remastering with extras like audio commentary, games, interviews, featurettes, Halloween tips, Deleted scenes, Talent Bios, and an episode of the 50's cartoon classic.

I had forgotten just how good this movie was. My grand daughter saw my old VHS tape box, so up dated to DVD and all three of my grand daughters love it. I must be getting old, I like it too.
