Movie Reviews of The Pagemaster
Movie Review: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE LIBRARY
Summary: 4 Stars
Hot off the success of the HOME ALONE movies, Macaulay Culkin is cast as a friendless reclusive little boy who wanders into a strange library to get out of a storm and encounters the Pagemaster, who turns him into an illustration/cartoon. There he meets three books: Adventure (the delightful Patrick Stewart); Fantasy (voice vet Whoopi Goldberg); and the hysterical Horror (a funny Frank Welker). In order to get to the exit sign, Culkin must brave all three genres, where he meets Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Leonard Nimoy); Long John Silver (George Hearn); and a firebreathing dragon. Ed Begley Jr. and Mel Harris have brief roles as Culkin's parents.
While hardly an animated classic, the movie's encouragement for children to become familiar with books is inspiring and the overall movie is entertaining.

Movie Review: A Delightful Fantasy
Summary: 3 Stars
Macaulay Culkin plays a young man named Richard Tyler, who, thanks to his obsessive calculations of the statistics of accidents caused by anything and everything, is afraid of everything including heights, darkness, fire, etc.,etc. One day, his father (after falling off a short treehouse he made for Richard) assigns him to go and buy some new nails for the completion of the house. Richard protests at first, but eventually, regretfully goes. On his way he encounters kid "bullies" (too bad acting for their own good) and speeds off on his bike through a tunnel, and due to the darkness the storm creates, crashes into a tree. He then seeks shelter in an old, deserted (for the night) library where he meets the head librarian, slightly-mad (as always) Christopher Lloyd. who immediately tries to find a way to get Richard to check out a book. Richard says he doesn't have a card, but Lloyd, like magic, whips up a brand-new library card for him to rent books with. Richard then goes looking around the huge library, almost just to get Lloyd off his back about it, and after getting turned around, slips on a little puddle of rain water, leaking in from the roof of the library. 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. When he meets these 3 books he faces each of his fears by conquering over literatures' greatest and darkest characters including Long John Silver, Moby Dick, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, and a haunted cemetery. When he awakens from his unconsciousness, he checks out the 3 books that helped him during his adventures and lives without any fears, firstly by sleeping in his new treehouse. A charming, wonderfully crafted, however dull it may be, children's fable that never fails to delight. And will definitely cause any viewers to want to read more.Movie Review: so-so movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Richard Tylor is a timid little boy who is concerned with safety. He runs into a library when a strom comes up, and enters an animated adventure. There, Richard must find the EXIT to the animated world and get to his home. Along the way, he befriends three books who can talk: Adventure, Horror and Fanasty (spelling?). To find the exit, Richard must get passed three worlds which are named after the talking books. He meets Long John Silver, Moby Dick, and a dragon that's guarding the exit.The animation is so-so, not the best in the world and not the worst. Worth watching once.
Movie Review: There should be a re-make of this
Summary: 3 Stars
I still enjoy this flick. They used to air it on Cartoon Network. But it will be cooler if they re-made it! It will be directed by the dymamic duo that worked on "Indiana Jones: Raders of the Lost Ark", Steven Spelliberg and George Lucas! The effects are gonna be intense with today's advanced technology, and extended! Would you love that!
