Plot: A young boy overcomes his obsessive fears by discovering a love for books in this animated fantasy adventure. In a live action wraparound, Macaulay Culkin stars as Richard Tyler, an easily bullied, nervous wreck of a kid who's an expert on safety statistics. His mother and father (Mel Harris and Ed Begley, Jr.) don't know how to inspire their son to embrace life boldly. Barely able to leave the house, Richard ventures out one day, but he gets lost in a storm and ends up at a mysterious library. Inside, he slips, knocks himself unconscious and finds himself in a cartoon realm where books come to life. Guided by Adventure (Patrick Stewart), Fantasy (Whoopi Goldberg) and Horror (Frank Welker), Tyler experiences the adventures of classic novels such as {-Moby Dick} and {-Treasure Island}, and he even meets some famed fictional characters, such as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Leonard Nimoy). Through his experiences in the pages of the legendary books, Richard confronts his phobias and learns to face life more courageously. The Pagemaster was directed by Joe Johnston, a former special effects supervisor and production designer who later directed Jumanji (1995) and October Sky (1999). ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Horror, Adventure and Fantasy...

I was pleased to see that I love "The Pagemaster" now, just as much as I did when I was a child. I also love the message that comes with it about books. Because it features characterized books and shows what each genre is like. Those genres being Horror, Adventure and Fantasy. Macaulay Culkin plays the character of a boy who is afraid to do anything because "statistics" over-shadow his life. On the way to the hardware store to get some nails for his Dad, a thunder storm comes out of no where and he's forced to go to the library to wait it out. This is where he enters the cartoon world and all the magic begins... Seeing the joy on my sons face when we watch it is priceless. I hope it gives him the same message as it gave me. A great family movie. I highly recommend it!
