[@VTPPGLVR]

Only allowed to check out two books? HA! When I was younger, I mercilessly abused their limit of 25 books!

[@themultiversalist5564]

There's limits on how many books can be checked out at once??

[@artsyafroqueen]

Ryan Lewis Yep, however, at the library where I work, you can check out 99 and I have seen people check out 78 items. It's always amazing.

[@prettyevil6662000]

***** Mine actually has a limit of 6 books per household. But it's a very small town library so I can see why they wouldn't want a couple heavy readers to run off with half their library at once. (They did up the limit for my dad and I to 6 books each since we were in every 2 days with the normal limit. Now we're in every 3 days instead!)

[@getsu0]

My school library only lets me have 2, but I love books and FUCKING HATE E- BOO- *gags*

[@TheSufferingDarkness]

The limits of my library is three books

[@ResidentTarantino]

[@KatriceMetaluna]

Probably one of the easiest jobs he ever had. Went into a sound studio in his PJs, spoke about half a dozen lines into a mic and then went back home. Maybe stopped at an IHOP for brunch on the way back. His check is in the mail.

[@jemdemonbelle2097]

What library only lets you check out only 2 books at a time? I call bullshit!

[@jemdemonbelle2097]

Wow

[@JaelinBezel]

Jem Fukuyama high school libraries, that's what.

[@jemdemonbelle2097]

What highschool??

[@JaelinBezel]

Jem Fukuyama 101 Hornet Drive, Fulton, Callaway County, Missouri, United States of America, North American Continent, Northern and Western Hemispheres, Planet Earth, Sol Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy.

[@jemdemonbelle2097]

My highschool library didn't do that, while you're being a smartass

[@OmicronX-1999]

I never understood the structure of this movie. By normal logic, shouldn't Horror be the LAST challenge the kid faces, instead of the first? Seeing as how horror stories are designed to scare the shit out of people and therefore have the highest level of threat and tension?

[@TownoYT]

I agree, it should have gone Fantasy, Adventure and then Horror.

[@mikabeats5088]

It was just their way of setting up the final fight. And you have to think, they found the other books *in* the library, but Horror was found in his own domain, so they had to do the horror aspect then.

[@OmicronX-1999]

MikaBeats Well yeah, but that still doesn't change the fact that it would make more thematic sense to save the horror world til the end of the movie.

[@mikabeats5088]

***** Yeah... Still my favourite movie, though!~

[@Caedus696]

***** No I think that was the best way to do it. The boy was completely ruled by his fears, how could he have stood against pirates, or battled a dragon if he had not faced fear itself first?

[@LeriObba]

I loved this movie as a kid, it was one of my favorites actually.

[@RomanceFreak]

You know, I think the reason why the movie never explained the characters they came across was just to show the main characters main story points that everyone remembers whose read their books to capture their attention. Those who haven't read the books get curious about who these characters are and go look up which books they came from, therefore, getting the kids to read. At least, that's what happened to me when I watched this movie as a kid. Did anyone else?....ok just me? that's fine.

[@DerringerHK]

I actually did watch it when I was very young and I liked it. Before then I had never heard of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and I found it really cool as a child. So yeah, I agree with you.

[@RomanceFreak]

***** Oh really? Cool, that's awesome! :) I'm glad I'm not the only one! I got introduced to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from watching this movie too.

[@davidheald7957]

Does anyone else think that this movie could be remade better nowadays? I mean think about it. The Richard Tyler character could be a nervous geek always looking to the internet for statistics and not having much in the realm of an imagination. Then when he enters the literary world of The Pagemaster, he meets these literary icons with fleshed out personalities to get kids interested in actually reading about them. With how tech savvy everyone is today and not many of them reading books, I feel like a remake of this movie, if done right, could be very much needed.

[@alexanderfix3629]

Kind of like a kid's version of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? I'm in. Maybe they could have each section animated in a different style?

[@davidheald7957]

Precisely.

[@alexanderfix3629]

+David Heald Then I'm definitely in.

[@PENGUINGIRL1210]

+David Heald I could write a short story about it! Sounds fun!

[@thefactofgaming8033]

[@velociraptor4you3291]

Always had fond childhood memories of this movie. Looking at it now, it is a little flawed, but I personally don't think it's terrible, though I do understand why others do. Now if you're curious as to which live-action/animated movie truly is terrible, the answer is..."EVIL TOONS (1992)."

[@jc_malone8217]

Evil Toons traumatized me as a child. I saw it when I was twelve and was like, "I can't believe a cartoon is raping this woman."

[@velociraptor4you3291]

JC Malone Oh, DUDE! That is so NOT the kind of movie you watch when you're TWELVE! LOL! Nice story, though. I know, the "cartoon-on-woman" rape scene is...*CRINGE!*

[@velociraptor4you3291]

***** Ha ha! Thanks for the complement about my KZbin name! Yep, the Internet changes somebody every day.

[@finalmasterlink]

I think the movie is more about The main character rather then just getting kids to read. After the movie he seems more confident to face his problems head on rather then hide from them. I like this movie, regardless of what anyone says i think its good.

[@swahini]

i loved pagemaster as a kid

[@Charolette21]

Yes, Kevin indeed read books. That contained statistics and facts, not a story of any genre. He was so tied up with facts and terms he never began to think about reading a story and realizing what emotions and feeling a story could convey. No one bash on me, I'm trying to make a good argument here.

[@danking9936]

I don'y know why he finds this forgettable. I remember it almost word for word from since I was a kid, and I loved this film.

[@Momo_Minomo]

Me too! When we were kids my mom would check it out at the library for my little brother and I and we'd all watch it together. When the book scenes would show up I would tell them about the books they came from and who the characters were (I was a major bookworm from a very young age). We adored it and watched it over and over.

[@SpaghettiPepperRings]

Personally, I think this is one of the greatest kids movies ever made. It makes you think, the acting is excellent, the animation is superb, and the music is gorgeous. I don't really listen to any negative criticisms about this movie. It holds a special place in my heart. I don't know how anyone CAN legitimately criticize it anyway. It's a fantasy film intended for the very young.

[@fsirjyy147]

The knight is the other kid that wondered into that library, and the "Page Master" sent him off on the same journey, but ended up dying trying to conquer his fears. He became traped, and aged, and just when he got to the end he dies by the dragon.

[@Logifanogi]

I actually liked this movie. I mean, yeah, it has annoying characters, but going from book to book settings on adventures is fun, and I liked some of the actors and voice-actors in it. Also I found the sets really nice.

[@christianmalcher2187]

I agree but it's funny so you can't complain.

[@TheBelieveit1]

Yeah. Visually it was good and personally I love puns so some of those jokes did get me. I mean personally I liked it a bit more with these different characters from famous novels, mostly cause I had either read or was somewhat familiar with them already. It has it's moments but it still has a lot of flaws and is more of a guilty pleasure for me than really anything.

[@mikabeats5088]

I love the animation! It's so smooth! The visuals were the best, along with the music! (:

[@artsyafroqueen]

Dull and boring??? I've always loved this movie! Yeah it's not really "good" lol but I remember the trailers for this on other movies and I've always liked it. I love books and I loved the adventures. It was awesome.

[@WWyrsa]

***** Yeah! Call me whatever ye like, but as a kid I really loved this cartoon, first of all for the great voice performances. AND there is an explanation how Horror and Fantasy survived - having fallen into the water, Horror suddenly learned how to swim, or rather didn't drown, because, as he said, knocking himself on the cover - "It's hollo-ow!". That's how they got to the Treasure Island.

[@miku9421]

***** I liked this film too! I only saw it maybe once as a kid but I remember the fact that watched it and enjoyed it since I was a bookworm as a kid.

[@kaisercollins3097]

***** So did I... I don't think he saw it when he was a kid

[@frankcastle3463]

Scar Talon i saw it in school and i liked it. It held my attention. It nade me start reading, which made me start writing, which turned me to comics. And then i saw this video and thought back. Then i looked at the comment section. Then it was now and i dont know what happened after that.

[@HeartNSuspension]

***** I remember loving this movie, but it definitely wasn't something that I watched over and over again. Mainly I'd watch it just to listen to the soundtrack and see the mysterious librarian. And the fight scene with the dragon at the end. That part was amazing. I didn't really grow fond of the actual book characters...they were way too weird. XD

[@furioussherman7265]

How did this movie get the cast that it did? I mean, Christopher Lloyd, Whoopi Goldberg, and (most suprisingly) Sir Patrick Stewart and in one movie? They must have had one helluva budget to get all three of them in one movie.

[@furioussherman7265]

Also, how the hell did they get Leonard Nimoy?!

[@MoonstruckMonarch]

+Curtis Stokman Only one cnclusion. They held their families hostage until the film was finished.

[@Tytoalba777]

+MissAlienSpacePirate What a coincidence, that's how "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit?" was able to use both Disney and Warner Brothers characters!

[@darwincity]

Lloyd maybe went there for the pay check, but Goldberg and Stewart were at the apex of their careers, so... I think that they thought this would translate in a career boost. I mean, a Ted Turner-produced animated movie was the shit back then...

[@malekdelacruz3842]

They may liked the idea of a movie about teaching kids to read, open their mind to imagination and such. Everyone loves money but these people seems to be genuine and likes to spread positivity. Also Macaulay culkin played well in my opinion, sadly even as a kid he got an award for the worst acting.

[@briannawestmoreland4230]

i think there should be a sexually precocious book that represents 50 shades of gray

[@mythicphilosoph]

This movie is amazing. I want Christopher Loyd to hand me books.

[@mariepilant5990]

Oddly enough, this movie did make me want to read a lot because I wanted to know more about Jekyll, captain Ahab, Treasure Island, and all those stories. So, I basically wanted to know what the movie didn't explain. Does that mean the movie did what it set out to do?

[@darwincity]

Yes, in a contrived way.

[@day5209]

"Mr. Hyde!" Insert obvious AVGN joke here.

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

Dayane Rodrigues tbh mr hyde is a dissapointment, was it really worth having that extra zero in their checkbook to have leonard nimoy for that role?

[@Caedus696]

I swear does NC even watch half of these movies, 12:05 they take the time to tell exactly how they survived and managed to get there.

[@primes1937]

Nicholas Cannaday He's admitted in one of his three lists of f ups that he often misses or ignore points where a movie explains something. If he misses something, it's a mistake. If he ignores it, it was to create comedic opportunities. Also, if it was boringly explained or glanced over when he feels more time should have been devoted to it, he counts that as not explaining.

[@Caedus696]

Matthew Johnston Ok thats all well and good but how on earth are we supposed to tell if it is him fucking up or just him trying to make comedy when the mistake is mid rant?

[@koboldhosamen1620]

[@piccolo2881]

The Internet went public in 1989. It wasn't until many years later that it became widely known or used. Back in the early nineties the Internet was a completely different place. Text only web browsers eventually gave way to graphical ones which supported images, etc... more and more sites started popping up... eventually e commerce took hold... and probably by 2000 the Internet truly went 'mainstream.'

For ages I kept wondering, what was that from? Why can't I remember it? This movie review has finally answered that question for me. Now I will no longer be in such mild torment at never knowing, for now, I know. Thank you Nostalgia Critic. Thank you.

Oh, man. I have awesome memories of this movie. I remember having a beach towel with the characters on it, too! I also watched "The Pagemaster" almost every week after school. This movie is what encouraged me to read the "Goosebumps" series when I was younger, since I was afraid of them before. Plus, the Chester A. Bum skit at the end cracks me up every time.

[@XD-385]

ok, I have to admit the Critic's lack of explanation of a couple of events is pretty funny. The bizarre oozing of the library ceiling occurred AFTER Culkin slipped and fell on the floor, hitting his heading from slipping on a puddle of water that came from droplets falling from his jacket and that Fantasy and Horror survived because apparently they discovered Horror's body is mostly hollow and floats easily. Yeah, and I have not seen this film in almost 20 years.

[@xcrazygurl96x]

I totally know what you mean. This movie also inspired me to write stories and dream big.

[@ilopominecrafter]

It could have inspired me to read the books had i been at an age where i could comprehend and remember. Besides, leaving little for the literary characters leaves it open to the audience to discover the books and find out for themselves what the characters are like

[@xcrazygurl96x]

That is so true. I read most of the books that were referenced in the movie. I won't deny that I was taken aback about how *cough cough* mature some of the works were. However, I'm glad I read the classics nonetheless

[@Vitorruy1]

+foxman105 This movie inspired me to do cocain, go running in circles and see futures in balls.

[@AsymptoteInverse]

[@lewisedwards4058]

The Pagemaster wanted him to learn that books can also be used to give us adventure, foster imagination, innovation, and creativity. Books can bring us to beautiful and fantastic far away places or places beyond our world. He was a reader, sure, but he was just focusing on feeding his crippling paranoia by reading up on statistical probabilities of bad events. That only served to limit him in life. That was the ONLY plot point this movie did a little well on.

[@timelordacaelus5959]

1:06 And that's where I argue, since my experience was the exact opposite. Back when I watched this, I greatly enjoyed it, I still remember a number of moments, and (in my case at least) it fulfilled its purpose of making me enjoy books more. I'll admit that I was really young when I saw this, and I couldn't point out the flaws, but it still stuck with me pretty well.

[@declantimothy9549]

This movie scared the crap out of me when my school library decided to play it for the kiddies. I am scarred to this day, I even remember crying a little especially when ever the horror book popped up.

Dude, 8:20 - The Horror Book's hi-pitched scream is EXACTLY like Nostalgia Critic's...hi-pitched scream. It's seriously perfect.

OMG the "nice ass" quote gets me every time, I can't stop playing it. XD

All jokes at his expense aside, I think McCulley Culken is a class act and has overcome a lot. I've heard some people don't like his acting because he sounded like an adult in a kid's body, but I think that might just be indicative of having been mature for his age as a child, which I can't help but respect. I'm also glad that he was able to get past his difficulties with drugs, which as we all know is no simple or trivial feat. As for The Pagemaster, as a concept on paper it's actually a pretty cool idea. Granted, it didn't work out so well in execution, but the initial thought seems pretty creative to say the least.

I adored this movie. It's always gonna be one of my favourite childhood memories.

Yeah I'm looking through rose tinted shades, but I still adore this movie. I actually DID read all of the books they venture to when I was nine, so seeing cameos in the movie felt awesome. I loved the librarian being an omniscient wizard, the books having their own lives, that I WAS a Pagemaster because of my love for reading. I still have the VHS tape I first watched it on.

It's a book. A good book. A book I will always remember from my childhood.

Damn you Nostalgia Critic! You ruined another childhood memory for me :P

[@SwitchbackCh]

This is the one! I've been looking for this movie for ages! I actually remembered some images in the movie and I recalled them really stirring up my imagination, particularly the fresco and the dragon.
