A Film Which Reads Like Great Fiction, 4 May 2008
10/10
Author: mrusty5 from United Kingdom

The Pagemaster is one of my favourite films of all time. A wonderful combination of animation, live-action and CGI brings to life this enchanting story. This film has a host of great actors and voice actors to bring alive this film. Macaulay Culkin stars as a timid troubled boy, Richard Tyler, who fears virtually everything. On an errand for his father, he stumble into a library where he is soon turned into an illustration. The Pagemaster (Christopher Lloyd) sends him on a journey into the library's fiction section to find the exit and to face his fears. Along the way, Richard is joined by a trio of animated books - swashbuckling Adventure (Patrick Stewart), sassy fairy tale book Fantasy (Whoopi Goldberg) and fearful Horror (Frank Welker). Together, the friends encounter some classic ficitonal characters as they search for the way home. An incredibly enchanting film, made by some of the world's best film animators. I give it a 10/10
