and executive producers Steven Spielberg, Gerald R. Molen
and Jeffery A.Montgomery present a live-action fun house
ride filled with laughter, excitement and ghostly suprises. "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 exorcise the house's apparitions: a friendly but lonely young
ghost named Casper, who's just looking for a friend, and his outrageous
uncles Stretch, Stinkie 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 thier house. With hilarious antics and dazzling special
effects from many of the creators ofWho Framed Roger Rabbitand Jurassic Park, Casper is a mile-a-minute adventure
comedy for the whole family.
