A blend of live-action and animation, this film centers on a fearful young boy (Macaulay Culkin) afraid to experience life because he's calculated the odds of an accident for every known activity. Chased by bullies, he winds up at the local library, where a bump on the head sends him into an animated universe, where his best friends are walking, talking books voiced by, among others, Patrick Stewart and Whoopi Goldberg. 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. The animation is middling, but a worthy message makes this better children's entertainment than you'd expect. How can you fault a movie that encourages kids to pick up a book? --Marshall Fine

Danyelle Turbyfill (Texas)
I bought this used, but it was like brand new. My 2 1/2yr. old watches it all the time.
 Blast from the past January 9, 2009
Tish (Edmonton, AB Canada)
You know that movie that you remember loving but don't actually remember!! It was great as a kid and not horrible as an adult but if you're wanting AWESOME, be prepared to be let down.
Still worth the watch.
Entertainment you will enjoy WITH your children. November 30, 2008
Harold Wolf (Wells, IN United States)
What a delightful, fanciful, way to demonstrate to children what fun can be found in reading books. This story is of a young lad, Richard Tyler (Macaulay Culkin is huge again)and his adventures getting lost in the worlds tucked away between the pages of books at the library. He, along with his talking-book friends, seeks the library exit to escape dragons, pirates and many other adventures perfect for youth.
It is the one-liners and comments related to classic stories that may slip unnoticed by the young, but adds punch and laugh-out-loud fun for older youth and adults. An additional 5 stars for the ending which teaches about facing fears.
Family friendly, G rated but (warning) there is one word "damn" used, but only once. We bought one for all the grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
