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.

 Rating:  - It's a wholesome movie for kids...I read this book to my son first and then he wanted to see the movie. I bought him the DVD and we watched it together.

I bought this movie for my oldest son when it first came out and he still loves it to this day but over the years the tape has worn out. my youngest son saw it one day and was hooked on watching it over and over that why I got the dvd one. This movie is a good family movie and has good action and adventure for kids. I think it has a good message for kids in reading a book can take you on an adventure too. Rating: - Wonderful Classic MovieThis movie I first watched when I was 6. My mom was a nanny for a boy and he brought it over one afternoon. We watched it, and I LOVED it. Over the years, I wondered what that movie was that I had seen and I have asked the boy, now a teen if he remembered it. He did, but didn't know the name. The only part I could distinctly remember was the change for real life to animation. I remember loving the entire film and parts of the adventure. One day, while scrolling around on amazon.com, I discovered ... Read More |
