I knew thera was many deleted scenes! I remember seeing a tv report on this movie and they were showing Dr. James Harvey floating on top of a couch while screaming. I hope they released these some day. I fell in love with Christina Ricci after this movie!
I watched "Casper" at the theaters back then in summer of 1995. This movie was HUGE and everywhere. And it was my very first 5.1 surround sound theatrical experience too. I was blown away by how much the Multichannel that had an impact on the whole visual experience. The CGI effects aged pretty well, given the comic-style and the transparency effects are pretty darn impressive even nearly 30 years later. I even had an audio-dramatization cassette of that movie which i listened to a lot of timed. And man.... i had an insane crush on Christina Ricci and i actually liked the "schmaltzy" dance scene with Casper as real boy :P Man i was jealous on him to dance cheek to cheek with Cat. And yes, that mansion was AWESOME. I loved that whole set design. And if you like the movie you may also like the set design of the 1999 Jan De Bond movie "The Haunting". I always felt the Set designs for both Mansions (the Interrior) had something in common and both gave each movie a lot of Dimension and sense of Scale. Casper also must have probably been the first movie featuring Eric Idle i ever saw in theaters. The early-mid 90s were the time where i discovered all the Monty Python stuff because my dad love the movies.
I had a pirate VHS of this movie as a kid, and half of the special effects hadn't been finished on it. So the actors were talking to nothing in a lot of the scenes.
Casper was a really charming film and ahead of its time from an effects perspective. One correction. You imply that the DTV films didn't do enough business for Universal to maintain interest in the property but of those, only Casper's Haunted Christmas was made by Universal. Spirited Beginning and Casper Meets Wendy were produced by Saban and 20th Century Fox under a separate deal with Harvey.
It's true that Universal wasn't involved with those first two prequels, but they still used their financial data as reasoning for not moving forward with a sequel (which is extremely dumb, by the way).
I remember when everybody backstreets back video was on thinking the set looked like caspers set. Here I am years later with internet to search it and seeing they did reuse several set pieces. Kinda cool.
Rewatched this movie a few weeks ago and was amazed by how well it all holds up. Its a shame those deleted scenes have never been released since the back half of the movie definitely feels like its been cut around a lot. I also remember watching A Spirited Beginning and immediately noticing the far lower budget, but more importantly it had a couple of Beetleborgs references alwah always amused me.
I’ve been waiting for a behind the scenes video for Casper! The Manner was my favorite! Between Sabrina, Hocus Pocus, and Casper many spooky cool bedrooms to inspire me as a kid.
Casper is one of those films that shockingly holds up well as an adult. Watched it endlessly as a kid and just assumed through the passage of time that it would lose its appeal though a more cynical and adult eye. Far from it. If anything I like it more now as an adult than I did as a kid. For one, the VFX still look good. The faithful cartoon likeness of the ghosts are just endlessly charming. The autumnal atmosphere is incredible, the set design is top notch, and the musical score is brilliant. The film works on so many levels. It feels like one of the last big budgeted blockbuster family films that wasn't afraid to be a little gross, be a little rude, and be a little dangerous. It's a family spooky move that isn't afraid to be spooky after making you laugh. The film has a more nuanced script than given credit for. The father/daughter dynamic feels real and textured and doesn't relay on making either Kat or her dad too oblivious or moody. They love each other and are processes the death of their wife and mother differently and just can't quite see eye to eye on the matter. They aren't at each other throats or combative. It's nice to see a film like this with a nuanced and dimensional parent/child relationship. The emotionality of the film also hits hard. Like, here I am as an elder millennial deadass crying at a Casper movie. TWICE! It's such a sweet, beautiful story on loss and grief and moving on. Love this film.
To this day, I will yell out "MY MAAAAN!" anytime im dressed up all nice with my hair and makeup done 😂😂😂 my husband doesnt get it which makes it even more hilarious lol
21:20 Apparently the show was said to he inspired by Riverdale as a ultra gritty reimagining of a beloved cartoon and would've dealt with more heavier themes or myster and teen-romance with one article claiming Casper will have friends "with benefits." (🤢) As Casper being in highschool while someone moves to the town of Eternal Falls and investigates a dark hidden secret (again very Riverdale) and would've dealt with themes of the meaning of life. (I'm assuming Casper dies while investigating but comes back through the will of love for his friend he desires like the movie Ghost.) But after 2 years, maybe Universal (hopefully) scrapped it for how stupid that sounds. Casper being a dead antsy teen with CW romance and murder mystery feels less like you're making a CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST adaptation and more like a rip-off of The In-Between (2022). Also anything with "Riverdale" influence is a red flag. Lol.
He’s 100% NOT underrated. Spaceballs, Independence Day, a small part in the grudge. I could list sooo many movies he’s been in. Dude has been killing it since the 80s.
@@ChakasCave when I say underrated I mean in terms of technical acting. I think we all know he's funny and charming, but I feel like he's actually much better at sinking into a role than he gets credit for because most of the movies we know him for are silly.
Awesome video ;) May i throw in a bit of extra trivia... the videoclip of Backstreet Boys's Everybody is shot in the same house this amazing movie takes place ^^
13:00 "I recently realized that this part is very similar to the mirror scene in "Poltergeist", except it didn't traumatize children all over the world." Well sir, you didn't account for my scared ass being a child who had never seen the Cryptkeeper before in his life, and his first viewing was in this film where he's screaming at you through a reflection in the mirror. XD I was traumatized and had to cover my eyes at that part of the film for a couple of years cause that was the only "scary" part for me in the entire film until I grew older. Also as a kid, I always assumed that the people he was turning into were what the Ghostly Trio looked like when they were alive with the Casper mirror scene, not realizing that it was just well known actors just making cameos. It added up in my kid brain thinking 3 male ghosts and 3 male actors, this must be what they looked like before they died.
I love how they judged trashy low budget stuff like A Spirited Beginning as evidence of the Casper brand failing, like a self defeating prophecy. Perfect age for this growing up, falling for Ricci and loving the mood and story. 90's had some amazing family films with bite.
Seriously. And those movies were produced by Saban, Universal only distributed them. So like, hey guys, the last time you put money behind this franchise you made hundreds of millions of dollars, remember? Just do it again! Insanity.
@@MediaPastimes Only Casper's Haunted Christmas was distributed by Universal. A Spirited Beginning and Meets Wendy were originally distributed by 20th Century Fox. A Spirited Beginning's rights went to Classic Media and is owned by Universal now due to buying DreamWorks/Classic Media so I get the confusion.
Deleted scenes: I had the comic back then. And there was a scene involving the Dad inside a room with all furniture flying around. Also: look up the Whipstaff manor playset. ☺️☺️
As a life long ghostbusters fan, who had nothing once the cartoon was over, seeing ray stantz appear in this film was so exciting i became obsessed with the film. To hear the so called fan base hate this scene i feel disappointed in the ghostbusters community. I genuinely believed it was a hint at part 3 coming which obviously never did. Technically.
100%. I’ve always thought of the 2009 video game as part 3, and everything else beyond that is extra. I liked Afterlife but Frozen Empire was pretty bad.
@MediaPastimes I probably shouldn't say but I feel both afterlife and frozen empire are the robocop 3's of the franchise. By that I mean the versions I can watch with my kids and not risk nightmares. Gb2 gave my 4yr old nightmares. As for the game. Yea it's good but i felt let down by it. Think it would be a better game I it wasn't just story driven but had free roaming. Go out in the streets in ecto 1, get a call, bust a ghost or 2 ya kno
They're weirdly getting more and more popular now because of TikTok. A lot of old-heads are pissed about it, but if kids are getting into good music I don't really care. Thank you 🙏
Although, that show kinda retcons the movie as one segment in episode 2 "Ghostly Day" remade the plot by taking out Carrigan and Dips, the Lazarus, Kat Going to school that led to a party set up, or Amelia. Instead Dr Harvey went to Whipstaff with 3 scientist colleges who don't believe in ghosts and were the ones picked by the trio before leaving Dr Harvey and Kat to their fate by stealing their car as a getaway. More importantly was never mentioning Casper falling in love with Kat and going with the main show's approach by portraying them as siblings.
From what I understand, she had a good time making it but looks back on it as a movie she didn't put much effort into. I guess she tried to watch it with her kids and cringed at her performance.
Yeah those massive soundstages with big green screens just aren't the same. I get that it makes more sense on a budgetary level, but it results in lifeless content.
@@MediaPastimes I recently watched an older show made in the 50s and the set design of this cheap action figure show was so detailed I was more amazed by that than the actual storyline
Carrigan and Dibs are the only real downside to this movie. I feel like after Home Alone, all kids films had to have these adult burglar/thief type villains. I would've much preferred that all the drama was centered around Kat and Casper.
You don't like my favorite scene in the movie? The scene where he comes back as a human and dances with cat? That's probably the most romantic thing I saw as a kid and you don't even LIKE it?! What's wrong with you?!!!!! Lol it's okay I think you're completely wrong but it's okay. It is a little creepy but to be honest it's very innocent
That scene was for the romantics - as a stinky little boy I just wanted to see pull-finger fart jokes and slapstick nonsense. But in all seriousness it's a great payoff for the relationship that built up between the two characters throughout the movie.

This was one of those movies my grandma owned on VHS when I was a kid that I would watch multiple times. :)

Casper at his absolute best
Casper was a really charming film and ahead of its time from an effects perspective.

Spirited Beginning and Casper Meets Wendy were produced by Saban and 20th Century Fox under a separate deal with Harvey.
Not really, it was exactly what effects at the time were delving into ;-)
It's true that Universal wasn't involved with those first two prequels, but they still used their financial data as reasoning for not moving forward with a sequel (which is extremely dumb, by the way).
Watched the crap outta this as a kid in the 90s.
Said this before on a recent review of the movie: James Horner was one of the MVPs of this film. Absolutely lovely score.
I remember when everybody backstreets back video was on thinking the set looked like caspers set. Here I am years later with internet to search it and seeing they did reuse several set pieces. Kinda cool.
I almost included that in the vid. That music video was directed by Joseph Khan who I spoke about in my Torque video. It all comes back around!
Rewatched this movie a few weeks ago and was amazed by how well it all holds up. Its a shame those deleted scenes have never been released since the back half of the movie definitely feels like its been cut around a lot.
I also remember watching A Spirited Beginning and immediately noticing the far lower budget, but more importantly it had a couple of Beetleborgs references alwah always amused me.
This movie spawned a great computer game of going around a detailed recreation of the manor while taking photos of ghosts haunting it.
I remember that one, the game was pretty good. It was during the interactive CD-ROM era where you clicked on something to make something happen.
How tf did I miss that?! I was absolutely OBSESSED with that house.
I’ve been waiting for a behind the scenes video for Casper! The Manner was my favorite!
Between Sabrina, Hocus Pocus, and Casper many spooky cool bedrooms to inspire me as a kid.
Isnt it great
I’m 50 years old and still enjoy this movie

I loved Casper as a kid. Cristina Ricci was awesome. I even saw those crappy straight to VHS 'sequels'. lol
I love me some Casper! With Little Giants reaching it's 30th anniversary a couple of weeks ago, I'd love to see you do a video for that!
Casper meets Wendy is such a strange movie
Nah Pauly Shore as an all-knowing mirror is totally normal

Great video. Loved to see you go into the other movies from this franchise
I'll always love this movie

I can only speak for the hair on top of his head (the main head), not the hair that grows where the sun don't shine.

It’s too bad Christina Ricci didn’t like making this it’s one of her best roles!
