She\u2019s a girl facing a crisis about Christmas and she needs the help of\u2026 Casper. Makes sense, I guess. \u201cCasper\u2019s Haunted Christmas\u201d is a noticeably bargain basement style production compared to the previous movies, all the while the animation is often weird and the narrative nonsensical.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Still on the run from the series villain Kibosh, Casper and his trio of uncles, Casper is confronted by the evil ghost for not committing to his ghost quota. Despite Casper completely swore off haunting he\u2019s doomed if he doesn\u2019t begin scaring people and will be sent off to the dark place. So how did he and his uncles escape that law originally? Casper ends up in a town named (ugh) Kriss, Massachussets, which celebrating Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>There, he forms a bond with a girl named Holli Jollimoore who is having a rotten Christmas. There is no excuse for a movie with this kind of bad animation. The character models are clunky and under developed, and the general aesthetic is ugly. That is saying a lot considering this is a movie combining Halloween and Chrisq At the very least, Harvey comics fans will appreciate seeing Casper\u2019s cousin Spooky and Pearl making a big appearance. It\u2019s a shame that the original shorts had more heart than these stale productions meant to grab some bucks. If you have to have your Casper fix, buy some Harvey comics, or fork some money over for the original shorts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Less budget, and less stars, this time Casper\u2019s adventures are reduced to a pretty crummy animated feature where Casper teams up with another spunky young girl.
