  THE PAGEMASTER - DVD
The extent to which a parent is able to fulfill this obligation is the extent to which The Pagemaster is worthwhile; using this film as an eighty-minute babysitter-cum-opiate negates any possible positive effect conferred by the picture--raising the question, clearly, of how best to approach criticism of the piece.
Taken in one way, the picture discourages contemplation and nuance, locating The Pagemaster as every bit the anti-intellectual kind of drivel that reading embarrasses; taken another, it is a nice starting point for an important conversation with your child about why so many cartoons think children are stupid.
In addition to its possibilities as a starting point to literacy (assuming the literacy of the parent), the film is sort of interesting, too, in a perverse, camp-appreciation kind of way for the dream-team match-up of Lloyd and Culkin (and the reunion of Picard and Guinan...and the meeting of that hologram doctor and Spock).

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: The Pagemaster | Deseret Morning News Web edition
That's because "The Pagemaster" is largely an animated feature, and feature-length cartoons take about three years to produce.
The second thing that may strike you, as the film becomes a cartoon in earnest, is that the animation is lovely, quite fluid and classical, right down to Culkin's character, which would be at home in a "Home Alone" cartoon series.
On his way toward the exit, however, Richard slips and falls, knocks himself unconscious, and the film becomes a cartoon as an animated Richard is sent on a journey by a wizard of sorts, "The Pagemaster" (also Christopher Lloyd).

 ‘The Pagemaster’ (G)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
That's the lesson of "The Pagemaster," a splendidly original children's fantasy about the world of books, "where a boy's imagination can take root.
"You are an illustration," amends the Pagemaster (voiced by Lloyd), a magician who tells Richard to look to the books if he would return to his own world.
The boy sets out alone across the animated landscape, but is soon befriended by three frisky tomes come to life: the swashbuckling Adventure (voiced by Patrick Stewart), the wand-wending Fantasy (Whoopi Goldberg) and the hunchbacked Horror (Frank Welker).

 The Pagemaster (1994)
One such film is David Kirschner's "The Pagemaster," created by him as a means to share with his two daughters, Alexis and Jessica (both of whom, by the way, have cameos in the film), the wonder of reading.
The story was born out of a clandestine visit by David, Lexie and Jess Kirschner to the New York Public Library's Center for the Humanities (the Headquarters Branch).
These are just some of the special memories I have about "The Pagemaster." But of course, it is the Pagemaster himself, voiced and spoken by Christopher Lloyd, who drives home the story's central point.

 Blackwolf Salutes 'the Pagemaster'
Hyde and the Fantasy genre in general, as symbolized by the figure of a massive fire-breathing dragon, are all depicted in each of the mural's 'four corners;' and, at the very center of the mural, the portrait of a wise, Mage-like being, his long hair and beard literally resembling the very pages of a book.
And before the Pagemaster is done with young Richard Tyler, he'll take the lad on a journey of discovery that he's not likely to forget any time soon.
Nonetheless, there were several teachers and educators across the country who were more than anxious to make the Pagemaster's saga a major part of their curriculum.

 Review: The Pagemaster   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This clever, often engaging, and always fast-paced motion picture uses the visual medium to encourage its viewers to reach out with their imagination.
This won't be the monster hit that movie was, but children venturing into The Pagemaster should be no less beguiled.
Grownups who often feel insulted by the too-juvenile tone of most so-called "family features" will likely find this movie long enough to catch their attention, but short enough not to lose it -- in essence, a surprisingly affable (and occasionally even sophisticated) movie-going experience.

If nothing else, The Pagemaster DVD makes a fairly fascinating case study of a movie that was carefully designed and marketed to be a box office smash and ended up a big, fat dud.

The Pagemaster (Christopher Lloyd) points the way to the exit, but the boy must first traverse the adventures of literary history, encountering everyone from Dr. Jekyll to Captain Ahab to Long John Silver.
Ostensible credits notwithstanding, if there was a genuine science fiction fan involved in the production of *The Pagemaster*, he was kept drugged and trussed up in a trunk somewhere on the set so he couldn't interfere with the process of turning perfectly good ingredients like these into a flat, uninteresting, drooling dollop of witlessness.
He gets knocked unconscious, and is greeted afterwards by the greatest man in the world of books: the Pagemaster, who explains to him he will have to conquer his greatest fears with the help of 3 types of literature: Fantasy, Adventure, and Horror.

 Filmtracks: The Pagemaster (James Horner)
The Pagemaster: (James Horner) Despite its noble intentions, The Pagemaster proves that the only way to use a movie to help convince children to read more books is by being based on a popular series of books to begin with.
Horner has, through the years, suffered more than any other composer in his habit of regurgitating his previous ideas, and in no genre is this pesky habit as prevalent as in his children's genre scores.
Unfortunately for The Pagemaster, Horner would reach deep into the same treasure chest of children's score sounds, lessening the importance of the score in the long run.

Hyde are about - is not a concept that much interests "The Pagemaster." But maybe that doesn't surprise me. Maybe I didn't really go to "The Pagemaster" hoping that Macaulay Culkin would gain a new appreciation of Moby Dick.
Sure, the teachers said they were watered-down adulterations of the originals, but what the heck: At least they were well-drawn, and tried to tell a lot of the original stories.
What's interesting is that "The Pagemaster" starts out as a promising concept, before the animation takes over.

Much of the crew that had worked on Forest was brought over from the ugly gray building across the street from Hanna- Barbera and moved into the modern glass structure next door.
The review by Siskel and Ebert didn't help either - Roger liked it (he likes animation in general, thank goodness), while Gene didn't, complaining about the darkness of the early sequences (hadn't we tried to warn them?) and finding the rest of the picture to be generally lacking.

The first 30 seconds of this score and that of Willow are exactly identical, and the main theme could easily be mistakened for the charge on Fort Wagner in Glory.
