Casper (1995)

I love Casper ever since seeing it in 1995 & had it on video & watched it loads of times. Casper has so much charm & magic with so much heart too,i remember always getting tears in my eyes when Casper starts to remember his childhood & when Dr.harvey finally sees the spirit of his dead wife, all BEAUTIFUL moments!!! The cast is perfect especially Dr.harvey the excellent BILL PULLMAN & Christina Ricci both fantastic in their roles & are really great performances. The FX still look AMAZING even today & the big old mansion is beautiful to look at & the detail & production design is truly OUTSTANDING!!! Casper is funny & feelgood but also like i said full of heart & magic, also a great little scene that i absolutely love is the scene when RAY STANTZ from GHOSTBUSTERS comes running out of whipstaff manor & says "who are you gonna call,some one else" lol great bit part as my favourite movie is Ghostbusters 2 i love those movies & RAY STANTZ is my favourite Ghostbuster!!! A little throwaway bit or a look closer & it could mean a shared universe? Good fun. Anyway Casper really is a childhood classic of mine & i will always have a soft spot for this charming & touching tale of a lost spirit, A really nice 90s Nostalgic film

As a child I loved the Casper comic books and televised cartoons and was anxious to take my daughter to this movie. It gave a new depth to the character by explaining who little Casper was before he died and how he died which no cartoon or comic book ever explained. This movie truly captured the spirit of what made us baby boomer kids love the character.

Casper is a most heartwarming, endearing and beautiful film, especially Christina Ricci. Casper the movie is well written combining a love story, comedy and drama. Although Casper is a ghost in the finale the love given to him by Christina's character brings him back to a moment of corporal essence finding himself in the girl's arms. The girl suddenly discovers that they are floating above the floor mid-air. At first startled she soon realizes that the levitation symbolizes the miracle of what had happened, what she made happen to Casper. Their love is sealed with a memorable kiss. Pure. Good. Beautiful. For this performance alone Christina Ricci is immortalized as one of the most accomplished actress's of our times. Like her, the movie Casper the Ghost shall also endure. Art is common. Great Art is rare.

Casper is such a lovely tale. I'm so thankful that in 1995 this sweet story made its way onto the big screen. It's so kind-spirited and so good! As a kid I watched Casper and was fond of it, and now some 20 years since that time, I've really come to realize and appreciate Casper for the genuinely sweet and quite precious film that it is, and you should too! It's a perfect film for kids! Casper the Ghost is so lovable! Casper the Ghost is an original and well-illustrated character to begin with, but the creative way that Casper and his ghostly friends are brought to life in this wonderfully magnificent family film is truly very special. Casper's sets and special effects are so impressive. Christina Ricci does such an incredible job as Kat. I adore her having only good things to say for the so very cute Christina. (She's so refined with her acting at a young age. She should of won the academy award!) Bill Pullman's excellent as Kat's dad, Dr. James Harvey, as he brings his real heart to the show. Casper has a beautiful, kind score. I rate Casper a 6 in critical regard but oh, big whoop! Who cares, really? What does that even matter? Casper is an all out 10 in all of the good ways that count, and that's what matters! An unforgettable, all-time 10, I love! Casper is sooo sweeeet!
