Weak Macaulay Culkin fantasy with some cartoon violence.
May 20, 2003
A pallid film framed at the start and finish by live action and mostly composed of cheap-looking animation.
January 01, 2000
Plays too much like a TV cartoon.
December 04, 2007
Built on a wispy premise better suited to the realm of TV, The Pagemaster plays like a slickly produced afternoon special.
January 01, 2000
A sad and dreary film.

If you're looking for a movie that may inspire your children to read, ignore this one and lay your money down for The Princess Bride or The NeverEnding Story.
June 06, 2002
a nice starting point for an important conversation with your child about why so many cartoons think children are stupid.
December 04, 2007
The film rests on its initial ingenuity and fails to develop the concept in interesting or surprising ways.

Weak Macaulay Culkin fantasy with some cartoon violence.

The Pagemaster's problems can be easily traced back to the screenplay, which simply lacks anything remotely resembling wit.
June 24, 2006
Mediocre, really, this mixture of real actors and animation.
January 01, 2000
This clever, often engaging, and always fast-paced motion picture uses the visual medium to encourage its viewers to reach out with their imagination.
