One of my favorite movies is The Pagemaster, a classic adventure you will never forget even when you get older. It is a story of Adventure, bravery, and facing your fears. And it stars two great actors who are never forgettable.
Richard Tyler is just about afraid of everything, and he is driving his dad insane with his ridiculous fears. One day, his dad sends him on an errand and he ends up trapped in a library due to a fierce thunder storm. His life will never be the same again.
The Pagemaster brings classic literature like Treasure Island, Moby Dick, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to life. It is a story about facing your fears and conquering them against all odds. I love how Richard befriends three books, Adventure, Fantasy, and Horror each with their own unique character personalities and each voiced by Patrick Stewart (Adventure), Whoopi Goldberg (Fantasy), and Frank Welker (Horror) all give the characters true life. The animation is great and I find it fun how Tyler goes from real world to cartoon world.
The movie also sends a message to kids and adults, that reading is fun and enjoyable and that your imagination can take flight with a good story. The two main actors Macaulay Culkin and Christopher Lloyd make this movie magic. The Pagemaster will always be fun for me, and one day I hope to show it to my kids who I hope will benefit from it's messages.
A great movie about overcoming fear and gaining power from the written word.
10/10 for The Pagemaster
