Casper's Story

[@IntoTheMindlessAbyss]

This scene is kinda hard to watch. This was one of my best friend's favorite films. He died in August of this year (2016) of Leukemia. I didn't realize how he was one of the very few I ever trusted in my life. We used to lookout for each other on many occasions. Not only did I consider him as friend... but he felt like a brother. He was only 23 when he died. It tears me apart how we could lose loved ones so early in life. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't cease to think about him...

I feel so sorry for you and your friend.... 😯😥😭😭

IntoTheMindlessAbyss - I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your friend. It is sad when people die. Given your close bond, I'm sure that his spirit is still with you.

Casper lived in the late 1800s. Because most people died due to pneumonia. The house, interior and his toys are from Victorian times!

[@reganh5223]

His mother’s dress as well!

Those toys probably have extremely good value

I really loved that toy room and wanted it when I was a kid!

[@jonathanbrand5734]

caspers monologue here is what made me want to become an actor believe it or not lol..its so good. this is before mocap. so whoever the genius was that controlled this performance..KUDOS. casper gave the best performance in the entire film and he was a damn special effect. whoever you are out there man that made that performance. you the man bro.

[@adams1458]

jonathan brand u really believe casper in this scene and he brings up his death very subtly

[@aphoticphoton]

I really wish they would have expanded this scene or atleast some of these backstories...........Very curious what his 3 uncles died of or what those ghost lives were before they became iconic ghosts but then again we had to turn back to the useless human villain

[@brandonjackson3641]

The kid that plays Casper when he turns into that boy is the one that voice casper he also was the actor in final destination and played the character stan in the eminem video called stan his real name is Devon Sawa

[@Jackie-McCann]

Why’d you cut it off before he answered Kat’s question? It’s almost as heartbreaking as his story! _“It’s like... being born. Only _*_backwards._*_ I remember, I didn’t go where I was supposed to go. I just stayed behind, so my dad wouldn’t be lonely...”_

[@LucyLovettLestrange]

It’s funny cause Casper says he has a mother but speaks more of his dad. He said he stayed behind so his dad wouldn’t be lonely, so does that mean something happened to his mother? He seemed to have been very close to his dad

[@LucyLovettLestrange]

After watching the trailer, it was said Casper wondered the halls of Whipstaff Manor for 100 years. The movie came out in 1995, so Casper died in 1895. He died as a 12 year old, so he was born in 1883 ( died at age 12 in 1895)

[@brandonspain12345]

This is also confirmed in the 4th episode of The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper where Casper wants to go see a PG-13 while disguised as a human but he’s too young to go see, and he reveals he’s 112 years old and turns 113 in April.

[@shannoncurry2037]

The piano at the end is emotional

[@tristandahomie]

I remember being a kid and not understanding what he meant by he got sick and his dad got sad until like a few years later it got me tearing up….

[@draccoonxcii1288]

I know this movie has its critics, but nobody can deny that this story is heartbreakingly tragic. No parent should ever have to bury their child...

[@grandoldsoul4691]

i feel like i can relate to casper. the music fits perfectly to. the lone ghost the lone wolf. witha good heart and a strong mind. smart but still a boy. yet somehow is grown

[@grandoldsoul4691]

[@ayatosbigcok]

_i would like to have a friend like Casper_

[@jeffparks25]

I need a friend like Casper The friendly ghost too

[@brandonjackson3641]

Me too🙋‍♂️ but I have my family as my friends

[@Spudgonzo]

Kat: What’s it like to die? Casper: Like... being born, only backwards. I remember, I--i didn’t go where I was supposed to go. I just.. stayed behind...

[@LeiDontPlay]

-so my dad wouldn’t feel lonely 😭

[@LucyLovettLestrange]

But it strange that his parents went to the afterlife but yet Casper and his uncles never truly departed

[@Nephatiu]

@@LucyLovettLestrange Cause when they die, they forget their true purpose and only when they can (and want to) remember what it was so they can either finish it or realize it has been finished already, they will move on.

[@Nephatiu]

In some way you could see Casper as a loopback-entity, where his purpose became helping his dad achieve getting him back alive,... 😅

[@LilJay03]

Daaaamn, girl. Poor Casper clearly having a moment then here comes Ms. Sensitive asking about dying and shit. Give the poor soul a minute to get over it, fam.

[@bethelmenil8786]

Chill lol If you find this movie sad, read the book.

[@jackepong6300]

What really makes the scene eerie is there is no answer given of what happened to his mother. He stayed behind for his dad, who used the rest of his remaining years trying to bring him back. Its implied his mother died after seeing him as a ghost. Either of a heartattack or her killing herself.

[@stratuas665]

This scene has stuck with me throughout my life. I remember seeing it in theatre's in 1995. There is something really sad about the ghost of a 12 year old describing how he died and how sad his father was. Plus the music added a whole other level.

[@ressurectionzone4920]

Casper died just being a kid, kids are gonna be kids, but they careful, I've never did that as a kid, I listen to my Parents when they tell you nt to be out late.

[@benhuether5474]

I can’t believe that the movie went THIS dark. Imagine being a fan of the 50s cartoons in the mid 90s and then getting this incredible heartbreaking 💔 backstory to your favorite cartoon character; you’d be crying for days until you had no more water in your body.

[@pizzaboynizzaTV]

It's hard finding s moment in this movie that DOESN'T make me cry...damnit.

[@AnimeWars2002]

He had to have been sick beforehand if it was an illness because just being out in the cold late at night isn't going to do make you that sick. The other option that I feel make sense with the story of the sled is he got injured late at night and the cold didn't help him survive.

[@richardgrace4500]

Neoblackdragon he got pneumonia.. and yes that is caused by being out in the cold for too long because your body heat drops too low and then you get sick "pneumonia" which back in the time when he was apparently little joshing by his toys and all the. Clothes and the newspaper they didnt have a cure for pneumonia all the could do was try to warm you up and get your body temperature back to normal and try to control the temperature that was inevitably coming but more times then not pneumonia was normally fatal

[@CharlietheWarlock]

Pneumonia

[@CaesarCapone]

I cried watching this as a kid. What are you talking about? I ain't crying now *sniff sniff*!

[@benhuether5474]

Watch this as a fan of the 50s cartoons and you are guaranteed to cry your eyes out 😭

[@ressurectionzone4920]

Casper should've been careful, I made mistakes too as kid years back, but nt like what he did.

[@benhuether5474]

Supposedly this backstory is canon to the original author and 1950's show writers but it was too depressing to include in the 50's cartoons and Seymour Reit's original 1939 children's book.

[@anthonyC9199]

I was trying to read the dates off the news paper, but it's too blurry. If his favorite baseball player was Duke Snider (while Casper was alive and didn't become a fan while a ghost), then he died from 1947 to 1957 because that's when Duke Snider was playing baseball. AND the Casper cartoon was created in 1945 so maybe that's when he died, but then he would have missed Dukes playing years. So maybe Casper became a fan when he was already a ghost. And the pic of his father does look early 1900s to late 1800s.

[@nateswoodentrainstudios3806]

This is one of the saddest scenes in the movie.

[@mbart5113]

What did Kat do to fall in love with the white-colored dress?

[@raymicheals4127]

Honestly they way he explains how he died it raises the question of why there aren't many ghost over the world. If ghosts were common what would that intake would it be like vampirism thing like a ghostly organization where they choose how they rule the world and humans become their playthings or like a zombie outbreak where it spreads like wildfire where the dead outnumber the living or would they be treated as second class citizens not entitled to anything this raised so many questions

[@candyapple9182]

So..... He froze to death or did he fall off his sled I don't get it?

[@Tigressa101]

Candy Apple He got Pneumonia and back then, there wasn't any way to treat it. So in a way, he did freeze to death.

[@adamz0037]

Tigressa101 lol wtf freezing to death and pneumonia are completely different. His infection was caused by being outside and exposed to pathogens, not because he froze. Stop speeding bullshit.

[@robbiefarabee6954]

I'm sort of curious how Casper lost a finger. I know he is a cartoon ghost and all but if he used to be a live action human, what happened to one of his fingers?

[@kiayaplews8593]

It's a ghost thing. Some stories say ghosts have an "uncanny valley" effect that almost mirrors what they were like when they were alive in some way or another (thing Marley from "A Christmas Carol" or the twins from "The Shining") while others are depicted as a glowing orb or this blob with hands but no fingers at all. This look is somewhere between the two extremes.

[@benhuether5474]

@@kiayaplews8593 Yeah I know what you mean, in the short stories of M. R. James (father of the modern ghost story) human ghosts can sometimes appear with various inhuman characteristics like longer nails, venomous fangs, covered in hair, and one even appearing as a large amorphous frog 🐸.

Check this out............Near the end when they gave her character a choice.........How come she couldnt just bring both casper and her father back to life along with everyone else? Why did she have a choice? I mean it was a lazarus machine correct?

Actually, they explained that. You know that bottle of red liquid that made the machine work? Casper explicitly said that there was only enough for ONE ghost. And that was the last bottle left.
