Synopsis:
Ghost therapist Dr. James Harvey (Bill Pullman) and his daughter Kat (Christina Ricci) arrive at drafty, old Whipstaff Manor. Its greedy owner, Carrigan Crittendon (Cathy Moriarty), has hired Dr. Harvey to exorcise the house`s apparitions: a friendly but lonely young ghost named Casper, who`s just looking for a friend, and his outrageous uncles Stretch, Stinkie and Fatso. If the plan works, she and Dibs (Eric Idle), her partner-in-slime, can get their hands on the manor`s fabled treasure. Meanwhile, Casper has found a kindred spirit in Kat, but The Ghostly Trio will not tolerate "fleshies" in their house. With hilarious antics and dazzling special effects, Casper is a fun-packed adventure comedy for the whole family.
