Casper was an entertaining movie that would be good for families.
Casper was a ghost, so he had died as well.
This is a good movie for families, though there were a few things that happened that might upset young children.

The reason I say this is not a beginning movie is because it was at least the second Casper movie.
In short they are all three very different movies and do not need to be and probably should not be seen in any sort of order or even all in the same day.
As I said, Casper dies and is on a ghostly train to the underworld when one of his fellow ghosts throws him off the train into Deedstown.

CASPER is the story of an extremely sweet little "living impaired" character, a.k.a., a ghost.

 Meet...Casper
Casper, the friendly ghost is easily Harvey's most famous character.
By the mid-70's, Casper was a "spooks"-person for Unicef, General Electric, Collegeville costumes, the Apollo 16 flight to the moon, Major League Baseball's National League, the American Dental Association, the Boy Scouts of America, Sugar Chex cereal for Ralston-Purina, and more recently, Target Stores, Pizza Hut and KFC.
Recently, Casper was found in "Casper and Friends" magazine published by Marvel Comics and in "The Harvey Magazine"; on TV and video, and in a direct-to-video movie sequels entitled "Casper: A Spirited Beginning" and "Casper Meets Wendy".

Billed as a prequel to the 1995 family film Casper, which in turn is based on an enduring Harvey cartoon character "Casper the Friendly Ghost," this direct-to-video entry is aimed at younger kids (though some of the scenes may be inappropriate for really young children).
The story begins as Casper, who is new to the ghostly plane, rides a death train towards Ghost Central Station where he is to attend a camp to train him to scare people.
The 1995 Casper (the first Casper movie), is definitly a better movie, with a way better plot.

 Casper the Friendly Ghost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Casper has remained popular in reruns and merchandising, and Hanna-Barbera Productions produced two holiday specials, Casper's First Christmas(which also starred Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, Quick Draw McGraw, Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy) and Casper's Halloween Special, and also the Saturday morning cartoon series Casper and the Angels in 1979, all on NBC.
The movie was the first time that the nature of Casper's death was explored.
Cliff Clavin's response was that Casper was simply quenching his thirst for blood.

 Filmtracks: Casper (James Horner)
Horner is a veteran of scoring children's films --live action and animation-- and in many ways, Casper is dismissed because it features many of the same motifs and orchestrations that we have heard so many times in previous Horner scores for the genre.
There are, however, some more serious interludes throughout the film when Casper wants to be a live, little boy again, and for these scenes, Horner cuts away from obnoxious action music and spills out one of the best themes of his entire career.
The theme is officially called "Casper's Lullaby" for concert purposes and features outstanding statements during three or four tracks of the album, including a few full five minute sequences.

Casper only wants someone to move in,so he could have a friend, the uncles on the other hand, do their very best to scare away any visitors.
Casper the Friendly Ghost is very excited when he learns that Dr. Harvey and his pretty young daughter Kat are going to be living in his house (maybe he can finally make a friend!); but his ghostly uncles have other plans...
The premise of Casper is that ghosts exist, are "spirits with unfinished business" (hence they have not yet "crossed over"), and interact freely with "live" people at times; (they haunt houses and wreak havoc on people who trespass there).

But what Casper is really after is a shrink that can help him come to terms with his own life.

The jumpsuit and the pack he is wearing resemble those that his character, Dr. Raymond Stantz, wears in Ghost Busters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989).
It is sad yes, but it has comic relief from the three uncles that try to be humanlike, Casper, the friendly ghost that knows what it is like to be lonely, for instance me, and same with Kat.
Of course now, effects from movies are like The Matrix films and LOTR, but i mainly like this film, because it tocuhes my heart in a both sad and sometimes happy, knowing, someone else is out there for you, even if you are a bit...dead.

 Casper movie review
As soon as I saw the first scenes I realised it was going to be markedly different from the comic book, where most of Casper's adventures happen in the Enchanted Forest.
Anyways, in this movie you have Kat Harvey, a teenage girl, and her father, Dr. James Harvey, who is a ghost counselor.
Casper then falls for Kat and it becomes a case of the spirit willing but the flesh being weak.

 dvdfuture.com :: Review - Casper Meets Wendy (1998)
Casper and the Ghostly Trio are CGI as in all their movies.
I think Casper Van Dien had a bit part in an earlier Casper movie so it shows he and the director have a sense of humor.
One CGI man says that "Casper Meets Wendy" had more special effects in it than the movie "Titanic." There is also a trailer for this film on the DVD and a Fox Flix section with five more movie trailers including one for "Casper: A New Spirited Beginning" which was directed by Sean McNamara.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Casper | Deseret Morning News Web edition
This seems a curious choice, to say the least, and the result is a very juvenile film, aimed squarely at the preteen audience, which it will no doubt satisfy.
With Pullman is his 12-year-old daughter (Christina Ricci), and it is she who first meets the mansion's fourth ghost, Casper, who is woefully mistreated by Stretch, Fatso and Stinkie.
"Casper" is rated PG, for a fair amount of violence, most of it comic in nature, as well as some profanity and a few vulgar gags.

Because the old Casper cartoons never were very funny, and this is, at best, almost as humorous as they were.
(Note: Casper was originally created for animation, but moved to comics soon after and remained there long after the original animation series died out, and it was in the comic that he acquired the name "Casper" and his three surly uncles.)
This is another movie that I only got through by taking frequent breaks.

 FILM REVIEW -- `Casper,' the Family-Friendly Movie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
For most of the way, ``Casper,'' now on home video, is just a better- than-average children's film, dolled up with some high-priced art direction and extraordinary special effects.
The old mansion looks like the first ``Batman'' movie from the outside -- glowing, eerie and gray -- and the first ``Addams Family'' movie on the inside -- seedy and plush, with splashes of red.
The Casper cartoons, comic and sentimental exercises, never tried to answer the disturbing questions Casper's existence presented.

A lovingly crafted exercise in special effects craftsmanship, "Casper" not only astounds with its seamless visuals, but radiates with a warm, well-told story at its core.
The long-dormant character of Casper the Friendly Ghost (voiced by Malachi Pearson) hits the big screen with his sullen persona well intact; all he wants is a friend.
The only problem is, Casper's three uncles- Stretch, Fatso, and Stinky (Joe Nipote, Joe Alaskey, and Brad Garrett)- have no reason to leave, and once the "fleshies" start invading their domicile, things reach the family comedy breaking point.

While "Casper, the Friendly Ghost" was just a sweet, little cartoon, Casper goes beyond expectations with superb graphics, an all-star cast, and some humor.
However, and unfortunately, Casper had a darker side to it which won't appeal to younger kids.
and when Casper is alive, he seems about twice as old than what he seems like as "the friendly ghost." While Casper isn't the best kids movie, the funny uncles and spectacular setting keep it alive, and a film worth watching.
