Der Pagemaster – Richies fantastische Reise (1994)

Der Pagemaster – Richies fantastische Reise: Directed by Pixote Hunt, Joe Johnston. With Macaulay Culkin, Kanin Howell, Alexis Kirschner, Jessica Kirschner. A cowardly boy, who buries himself in accident statistics, enters a library to escape a storm, only to be transformed into an animated illustration by the Pagemaster. He has to work through obstacles from classic books to return to real-life.

“With its curious mix of Time Bandits-like enchantment and plain sense of fun, The Pagemaster represents the least-annoying and most enjoyable contribution Culkin has made to the industry since Home Alone. This wonu0026#39;t be the monster hit that movie was, but children venturing into The Pagemaster should be no less beguiled. Grownups who often feel insulted by the too-juvenile tone of most so-called u0026quot;family featuresu0026quot; will likely find this movie long enough to catch their attention, but short enough not to lose it — in essence, a surprisingly affable (and occasionally even sophisticated) movie-going experience. Most importantly though- This film is even more relevant today 25 years on.”
