    Michael WilmingtonChicago Tribune

    The film is an epic treatment of a childhood curio. It's also the kind of elaborate movie stunt you can't imagine someone really pulling off. [26 May 1995, p.C]

    Like The Flintstones and The Addams Family, Casper is an attempt to bring cartoons to life while incorporating them with real actors and sets. As a technical achievement, it's impressive, and entertaining. show more

    A better- than-average children's film, dolled up with some high-priced art direction and extraordinary special effects. show more
