Trivia:
A live-action sequel was proposed at the time that principal filming wrapped on 'Casper' and a treatment was written but a combination of less-than-stellar box office gross (although the film grossed $100 million in the US, the budget was more than half of that total and analysts predicted much higher earnings for the film) and the fact that both Christina Ricci and Bill Pullman were attached to other projects after Casper and would not be available until more than a year later caused the idea to be scrapped. The producers then decided to scrap the live action sequel ideas and instead produce a cartoon series to continue the story. more

For adults too!, 1 November 1999
9/10
Author: Boyo-2

Being 'middle-aged', I suppose I was not the target audience for this movie, but I love it very much anyway. Kiddies aside, this movie is hysterical, well-acted, and touching too. The effects are great and, to be honest, I can't find a lot to critcize here, which for me is all I can ask of a movie.
