    The creepiest thing about Casper Meets Wendy is the title characters' romance--bashful, cutie pie Casper shouldn't be prone to weaknesses of the flesh (he is, after all, a ghost). And he's entirely too childlike to take up with a witch even of Wendy's decidedly non-wicked order. Still, sparks fly in this madcap jumble of a film, and so do the sort of zippy one-liners and presto-type magic tricks that'll keep kids from 6 to 12 spellbound. The plot is paper-thin: head honcho warlock Desmond Spellman (George Hamilton) is obsessed with offing Wendy (Hilary Duff) after an oracle proclaims her powers to be on the upswing. He sends two goons to capture her at the Sunny Brite resort, where she and her haggish aunts (Teri Garr, Cathy Moriarty, and Shelley Duvall) are in hiding and where Casper and his trouble-making uncles are vacationing and causing random calamities. While Wendy and Casper hit it off, their more traditional-minded relations show off and swap insults. Nevertheless, the ghosts harbor a hush-hush respect the witches' unruliness, and it rears its head at just the right moment--when Wendy's about to be vaporized in Spellman's swirling vortex of doom. Were it not mildly fun to watch the trio of well-established older actresses suit up in witch costumes and crack wise, adults would find this film bordering on the unbearable. Kids, on the other hand, will want to set the record straight on its spook-tacularness. --Tammy La Gorce

    2 out of 5 stars Could have been better.   January 26, 2009
    T. Fisher (New York, NY)
    This movie is a great family film, however if your a fan of the original movie you'd think it sucks. I didn't like it for many reasons.

    1. It didn't fit the original story of the first movie.

    2. The casting was interesting but the acting was bad.

    3. The CGI animation was really bad and it was made three years after the first movie.( I don't blame them, it was a straight to DVD release)

    4. They never fully explain the reason way there has been a long rivalry with ghost and witches.

    5. Finally it was a prequel/sequel and A Spirited Beginning was really horrible. ( Which is why I am not bothering making a review on it)

    Saban should have just stuck with Power Rangers and not have done Casper and all those other Harvey Cartoon Live-Action films because Universal was way better at doing Caper. I will say this, the casting was pretty good but they did a poor job doing this movie. I bet if they would have came up with a better story if they had more time to do the movie. Since it was the Sequel to A Spirited Beginning and not to the first movie it was turn to complete trash. My suggestion don't buy it unless you like it or you have children how might like it.



    3 out of 5 stars I hate Casper, but I thought this one was pretty good.   November 25, 2006

    Ghosts V.S witches I like to say. Who will win? Casper, Stench, Stinky, and fatso? or Wendy and her Aunts.


    5 out of 5 stars I FINALLY found it!!!   November 10, 2006
    Andrea Ward (Eighty Four, PA)
    My 4-year old son was thrilled when "Casper Meets Wendy" arrived at our door. We had been looking for it in every store known to man since last Halloween (when he first saw it)! I'd given up hope until it dawned on me to check Amazon.com. Wish I had done it sooner, that's for sure!
    The DVD came sooner than I expected, if you can believe that, was in perfect condition and was thouroghly enjoyed by my son.



    4 out of 5 stars Still Entertains Me   October 28, 2006

    Being 16, I have lived through the first Casper and the horrid sequels. While I think that the first Casper mildly creeped me out when I was younger, and that majority of the sequels following that were horrible, I think that making Casper Meets Wendy was a great recovery for the creators of the original Casper. Bringing together well-known older actresses was a great choice, making it entertaining to see them in such whimsical roles, while Hilary Duff did a great job on one of her first acting jobs. While some of the one-liners may leave you rolling your eyes, it is a great childrens movie and will keep parents entertained as well.


    4 out of 5 stars Who sings the title song   August 11, 2006
    Bassman (USA)
    My kids love this movie, friendly-scary (if at all scary). One question, if anyone is reading this, who is the singer of the title song.
