WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

DESCRIPTION:

    From director Brad Silberling and Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment comes a live-action fun house ride filled with laughter, excitement and ghostly surprises.
    "Ghost therapist" Dr. James Harvey (Bill Pullman) and his daughter Kat (Christina Ricci) arrive at drafty, old Whipstaff Manor. Its greedy owner, Carrigan Crittendon (Cathy Moriarty), has hired Dr. Harvey to exercise the house's apparitions: a friendly but lonely young ghost named Casper, who's just looking for a friend, and his outrageous uncles Stretch, Stinky and Fatso (The Ghostly Trio). If the plan works, she and Dibs (Eric Idle), her partner-in-slime, can get their hands on the manor's fabled treasure. Meanwhile, Casper has found a kindred spirit in Kat, but The Ghostly Trio will not tolerate "fleshies" in their house.
    With hilarious antics and dazzling special effects from many of the creators of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Jurassic Park, Casper is a mile-a-minute adventure comedy for the whole family.

THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

This movie is based on the comic book series of the same name created by Joseph Oriolo.
This was the first film to have a main character that was completely computer animated. However the cost of computer animation at the time was so big that several scenes had to be cut for cost including a scene with a song called Lucky Enough To Be A Ghost in which the Ghostly Trio sing during a therapy session about how great it is to be a ghost and to not care about their mental problems.
Christina Ricci's and Bill Pullman's character last name in this film is Harvey. This is relevant because the comic that this film is based on is published by Harvey Comics.
