Casper sees "the man in the moon" and he looks friendly, so he flies up there to meet him. When he gets there, he discovers the moon is just a bunch of rocks and craters. "Wow," I am thinking, "the writers of this cartoon are way ahead of everyone since that's exactly correct as we found out for sure decades later." However, as a tired Casper takes a nap, a bunch of little men spot him and capture him, a la "Gulliver's Travels," except they take the "giant" in a crate When posting this review, I noticed under "trivia" that the king in this movie, "King Bomba," was in Gulliver's Travels so I guess my analogy was right on.
The story, as most Casper stories tended to be, is geared strictly for little kids. I understand this was made in 3-D which would have made it fun for adults to view, too, but I only saw it on a cheap DVD where the picture was decent but not noteworthy, and obviously not in 3-D. I swear I recognize some of the adult voices in here but the "cast" is not listed in on the title page.
I would love to have seen this in 3-D. I'm sure it would have elevated my rating considerably. Otherwise, this is strictly for very young kids.
