Casper was release in May 26, 1995 grossing over $287 millions worldwide making it a commercial success, but was met with mix reviews from critics, although Roger Ebert gave it 3 out of 4 stars. With this film, they made an attempt to give a back-story to Casper explaining his tragic death and also showing his human form. The film stars Christina Ricci and Bill Pullman with Malachi Pearson voicing the titular character and Devon Sawa portraying his human from. While the film was a success, the studio didn't produce a sequel feeling like the general public wouldn't be invested in one, so their was a spin-off animated series that follows after the events of the film.
