I've never been a HUGE fan of Casper (the old cartoon series) and considering the film doesn't have the best reputation for an animated adaptation, I absolutely LOVE this film!. I was surprised at how good Bill Pullman and Christina Ricci portrayed their characters; both do fabulous jobs and you can sense the relationship of father and daughter with the two. Also the kid who played Casper does a good job at pulling off his personality, but the characters that steal the show are the ghostly trio! Stretch played by Joe Nipote, Stinky played by Veteran VA Joe Alaskey (Bugs, Daffy, Tweety, & Sylvester from 2000 to 2006), and Fatso played by Everybody Loves Raymond actor Brad Garrett. To this day, I wish I had inherited Whipstaff Manor, the haunted house in the movie. What an amazing set! I soooo wished it was REAL.
