Hollywood really screwed up Macaulay Culkin he was a good actor in my eyes he was a good actor enjoy your retirement even though Hollywood screwed up your life but it's not your fault
Thank you for helping bring one of the greatest films in cinema history to life. When I was 9 years old I loved this movie and watched it every chance I got. The part with Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde used to scare me a lot when I was younger.
Remember riding my bicycle to the VHS shop every Friday. Rented mostly kids' movies, but it became my happy place when I grew older, too. There was just something about holding a tape in your hands with the excitement that comes with a whole new adventure that got me so hyped up. Online shows have never lived up to that physical embodiment of excitement.
Agreed. I too have been riding myself to the library, not only being the only thing close to a video rental store, but also through the influence of both this movie and The Neverending Story, that shows how amazing a library can be. Whether for reading or such. There's a kind of magic found in a library that can't be found in online stuff like Netflix or such.
That happens to me when I was living at the Equestrian Apartments in Henderson all by myself. I rode my bike to McDonald's, or Taco Bell, or Smith's, or In n' Out Burger, or the movie store. That was the best time I ever had.
I was born in 2005, and during that time I was used to watching dvds. So when I saw my very first vhs tape (The Wizard Of Oz), it was like discovering treasure. Each one I would watch, I felt like I was getting ready for a real adventure.
For some reason I only saw this once as a child. Now I woke up at 3am and for some reason this came to my mind and I had to Google the name first to get here. Seems even better than I remembered!
The fade from the animated Pagemaster to the live action Mr Dewey smiling with the line "that's just what can happen" playing at 1:24 is etched in my memory forever. It warms my heart.
me niether! i knew about Whoopi but to know that they stood side by side voicing characters and loving the relationship they had on Star Trek : TNG is soooo awesome.
Are you kidding me? The Pagemaster is one of my favorite Fox movies of all time! My Cyril Crawford story is like that. I've been copying The Pagemaster 10 years ago in Henderson and in Pahrump.
This movie made me have an obsession with libraries. I didn’t like reading, but I liked writing lol weird I know… but this movie really affected me as a kid and I feel a lot of nostalgia now as a 24 year old adult.
@@Ibroketherubber it was just one of those movies that stuck with me. I had an infatuation with libraries and books and it made me try to enjoy reading more, which I eventually grew up and started reading more for fun. It expanded my imagination. As a kid, it made me want to write my own version of a story like this.
@@zoemeltdown yeah I understand you, have you wrote anything? I know I was a kid when this movie was out, but this movie received a lot of hate idk why, I loved it lol
I noticed this movie has a lot of Star Trek veterans. Christopher Lloyd, Patrick Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg, Frank Welker, Ed Begley Jr., and of course the legendary Leonard Nimoy.
The voice cast was made of pure talent. And the animators obviously put their heart and soul into the drawings. But every project needs to start with a solid story inside a clever script. Without that foundation, it's all just empty noise.
I hope that "The Pagemaster (1994)" will be released soon on Disney+ in the United States!!! Because I believe that Disney had been acquired on 20th Century Studios, instead of licensing on Warner Bros. Discovery!!! And that was awesome!!! And even, all unreleased scenes, footage, alternate scenes and deleted scenes for this film from all trailers, home video releases, commerical and TV Spots, must be put them back together!!!
From the VHS preview to pirate ship escape, I have many unforgettable memories with this fun and message filled knowledgable adventure. Stay safe everyone!
Movies today lack this type of imagination. The fact that a film paid homage to books could never work today, we are so lost in our screens. What an amazing film.
They did a wonderful job with that cgi, and I am very glad they did not eschew it in disfavor and loathing like so many today. They wanted to integrate animation to live action and did so wonderfully and beautifully. I always wondered how they even managed to capture that effect back in the old days. Christopher Loyd does a great job as the Pagemaster and Mr. Dewey. I am sad this movie did not receive the praise it deserved back in the day, partly due to child actor prejudice, seemingly bad marketing, and critics who thought it was a con job deceiving kids to enjoy the Art of Story through the medium of books. I dare say, that like the transition from live action, through cgi, to live animation, they missed the Magic of Imagination and Beauty of another World in which we Escape...That which is always called Story...
Christopher Lloyd is the host of the making of The Pagemaster . He was a great actor who had been movies such as Back to the Future franchise, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Anastasia.
The Pagemaster Characters like Richard Tyler, Horror, Adventure and Fantasy the talking books will be great cameos in AndrewTopia Kids short film: Drewski’s Birthday Bash.
Seeing this Making Of as a kid, I was impressed, that it's possible to bring something to life - just by drawings.... And so my ambition for drawing and character design began back then ^^
thank you for uploading this I just introduced my 4 yr old to this movie.. he couldn't look away! loved this movie as a kid and to see the making of after ALL these years is so heart warming.
I can imagine Sir Patrick Stewart and Whoopi Goldberg having a blast with the recording sessions, considering their friendship. I wish there'd be some bloopers we could see of the cast in the recording booths, if they messed up or goofed off. Would be so awesome.
This movie is what inspired my crazy jackass bravery when I saw it as a kid. Now 40 years old and I feel dried out and completely drained. What good memories from my childhood when I had the energy. I used to mimic the dragon sequence as Richard Tyler with my friends as the books climbing trees pretending I was riding up the growing vine from the dragon's mouth. Despite being a heavily masculine middle aged man, I'm sorry a little moist in the eyes. Thanks for the video post!
i remember thinking how this film was very well done. I mean from the score to the animation and the overall flow of it and its characters. I own this film and I really love the blueray verson they released of it they did,I loved Christopher Loyd and Macaulay culkin and all the actors that did the parts of the books as well. they were so fantastic and just the tone of this film was very well done takes me back to a simpler time in life. This was an awesome video to see the making of was a real treat thank you.
I didn't know there was an African-American animator who took part into making this impressive animated movie. I thought like most cartoons were mostly done by white animators alone.
Christopher Lloyd, who portrayed the librarian as well as the title character of the Pagemaster, also played Klingon Commander Kruge in the 3rd Star Trek Original Series movie The Search for Spock (directed by late series veteran Leonard Nimoy) 10 years earlier in 1984.
This movie is it good movie even though it's short and it wasn't a box office hit. I'm 35 years old born 1987 and I still like this even though all this movie was in a box office hit is still a classic. Just maybe they'll remake it
I'm very happy that I love literature. I just wish that there were more libraries like this one I even miss the library I used to go to back in Wake Tech. I find any good bit of literature to read and even as of this moment I'm trying to write a book for DC Comics and its purpose is to show the world that a simple human being has superpowers such as faith and love and Hope. A basic Superman who is Hope can give him the ability to fly. It is my great privilege to present despite still in writing it is my great privilege to present to everybody who is a fan of DC Comics I give to you the kamandi paradox as dedication to a Jack Kirby Classic and how much I would love to dedicate this not only to Christopher Reeve and Kevin Conroy but I would love to dedicate to a very special Elder in my family who is no longer in my family because she passed away I wish with the most sincere honesty to dedicate this to my grandmother. As soon as I find a publishing agency that is connected to DC Comics and it captures audiences around the United States I would love you very much to present a copy of my book to my fellow TH-cam channelers until then I shall be writing. God bless you all.
My youngest brother's name is Christopher Lloyd ♡ not saying our last name. Lloyd was my grandfather's name from my dad's side and my mom picked Christopher..soo Christopher Lloyd. ♡
7:43 Ah! 7:44 Macaulay Culkin is the third of seven children in the Culkin family, 7:51 he is the one who portrayed a young boy named Kevin McCallister who had started to make amends of beginning into an indepedent life in both Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992).
12:20, I'm reminded a lot of the trailer of the movie at the beginning of the Once Upon A Forest VHS. Only during the Once Upon A Forest VHS trailer of this movie, they show Macauley yelling into the mic from a different angle
Many children began their love of literature due to this film. Way before Potter was the Pagemaster!
I love both Harry Potter and the Page master, myself!
Hollywood really screwed up Macaulay Culkin he was a good actor in my eyes he was a good actor enjoy your retirement even though Hollywood screwed up your life but it's not your fault
This was a joy to work on. I did hand-drawn effects. (Fantasy's pixie dust, fire, etc.)
Thank you for helping bring one of the greatest films in cinema history to life. When I was 9 years old I loved this movie and watched it every chance I got. The part with Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde used to scare me a lot when I was younger.
@@MrGrimreaper512here here! My favourite childhood film of all time :D can’t contain it in words
thanks this movie change my life as a kid
Bless you.
Actually really awesome to know you worked on the film. Movie really had a huge impact on me when I was a kid in the 90s. Truly great
I LOVE this movie. It's one of the main reasons why I got into reading.
I have over ten thousand books. I reckon this movie had a lot to do with it.
i like this movie as well. :)
this is why i like macaulay culkin's movies!

"It's True-But My Love For Reading began with literature itself: THE MAGIC TREE HOUSE

Patrick Stewart said it the best and Christopher is a national treasure, everything he does is always compelling, interesting, and thought provoking
It was this movie that made me addicted to books today.
Mr. Hyde absolutely scared the hell out of me as a kid.
No and I thought I was the only one.
His Face is Really Scary and He Freaks me out.
I Agree
Same.
It’s so Scary when Mr.Hyde Leans Closer to the camera.
For some reason I only saw this once as a child. Now I woke up at 3am and for some reason this came to my mind and I had to Google the name first to get here. Seems even better than I remembered!

It warms my heart.
Mr. Dewey's smile at 1:28
To this day I never knew that Patrick Stewart voiced Adventure! Mind absolutely blown! I kinda figured Fantasy was voiced by whoopi!
me niether! i knew about Whoopi but to know that they stood side by side voicing characters and loving the relationship they had on Star Trek : TNG is soooo awesome.
They also starred together in Star Trek: Generations (the 1st Next Generation movie) that same year.
fantasy and adventure? sounds like Star Trek to me.
this movie was my childhood
My too
Mine to
So the mine
This movie is shamefully underrated!
It really is!!
Amen

9:49, he’s right I also love animation too. I also believe animation is amazing with it’s music, style, characters and colors.
I love books can’t get enough of it
I didn't know there was an African-American animator who took part into making this impressive animated movie. I thought like most cartoons were mostly done by white animators alone.
There's several different animators of different backgrounds who work all around the animation industry and art as a whole.
The dragon paint animation is absolutely gorgeous

I would love to see this movie redone exactly the same with only one differents, Using today's technology.
Christopher Lloyd used to scare the crap out of me lol he was so good at it. And to think he was the bad guy in Dennis the mennis makes sense
Christopher Loyd playing Albert Einstein in a movie? Why am I NOW just hearing about this?!
