'Casper: A Spirited Beginning' is rather rubbish, not that that is of any surprise.

It's a stripped back version of the original in every way possible, with the animation - which, admittedly, isn't the greatest in the 1995 release - particularly standing out as being awful. The cast are OK, if entirely forgettable - perhaps with the exceptions of Chuck McGill, Michael McKean, and Mufasa, James Earl Jones.

Let's see what 'Casper Meets Wendy' cobbles together...
