60 of 155 · most liked first'The Pagemaster' is a forgotten gem of the 90s. A wholesome movie about getting sucked up into Doc Brown's talking cartoon book world where Patrick Stewart is a pirate book who fights Dr. Jekyll. The message is that READING is GOOD and being smart & nice is COOL. It also had a sick SNES game
positive · AI labelView post →My friend and I watched The Pagemaster today, and neither of us had seen it since we were kids. The antagonists were the best part of the movie.
positive · AI labelView post →"Old school" Last minute attack for baronboar.bsky.social Your dragon reminded me soooo much of the dragon from the movie what I watched when I was a child, The Pagemaster You don't often see old-style dragons, I need see more pls! Have a good weekend little creatures!
neutral · AI labelView post →Which film reminds you of your childhood the most? The Pagemaster. I'd rent it out again and again lol. Back then there was this massive cultural push to instill in kids that reading was, like, literally magical. it's like the quintessential 90s animated movie lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITFj...
positive · AI labelView post →As voted by my patrons in the "What Do You Mean" character poll: The Paint Dragon from seminal movie The Pagemaster!
neutral · AI labelView post →The Pagemaster. But instead of a movie. Make it into a tv series that follows different kids with different problems that get help from different genres of books. And make Macaulay return as the new librarian who introduces the episode.

positive · AI labelView post →I didn't watch TNG as a kid, so my childhood Patrick Stewart performance was Adventure in The Pagemaster youtu.be/LQAbWCHhpVM I'm also just now realizing that this movie also has Whoopie Goldberg and Leonard Nimoy. Just packed to the gills with Trek alums =p
positive · AI labelView post →What movie did you watch over and over as a kid? I can't tell you how many times I borrowed The Pagemaster from my local library as a kid.
positive · AI labelView post →For my own part, The Pagemaster has some moments that really stand out, but on the whole, it is a film that REALLY could've done more with its premise.
neutral · AI labelView post →The 1994 family film The Pagemaster has an ABSURD "Did A Star Trek" rating. 43% of the credited cast worked on a Star Trek film, TV series, or video game, including Patrick Stewart, Leonard Nimoy, Whoopi Goldberg, Christopher Lloyd, and Robert Picardo.

neutral · AI labelView post →Well this promotional jacket from the 1994 film The Pagemaster is only $600, so I guess I better jump.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched “The Pagemaster” last night on VHS…. it was insufferable for me as you can evidently tell from this video I took at the beginning of the movie…. Yeah, I went batshit insane watching this strange scene lmfao

positive · AI labelView post →take the wrong lesson from a movie The Pagemaster: we should do more research into the therapeutic benefits of acute lead-based paint exposure
negative · AI labelView post →Not terribly impressed. I gave it this prompt: > This is a surreal fantasy movie that involved some kind of magic paintbrush and someone putting peanut butter on his head. That's clearly a reference to *The Peanut Butter Solution* (a bizarre, 1985 Canadian film), but the site responded with this: > One movie that matches the description is "The Pagemaster" (1994). It is a live-action/animated fantasy film where a young boy named Richard Tyler gets transported into an animated world after…
neutral · AI labelView post →One of my favorite childhood movies is The Pagemaster, I was super surprised to learn it's a pretty widely disliked/criticized movie for some reason. I always thought it was a cute concept.
positive · AI labelView post →Me: Next on the watch list is The Pagemaster Husband: Is that the one with the kid with the really red lips. Me: The star of the movie, McCauley Kulkin? Husband: I don't know his name. Me: That's his name. McCauley Kulkin.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Pagemaster is the most underrated disney film ever. this movie is a beautiful work of art and still gorgeous and funny and full of whimsey 30 years later and literally nobody ever talks about it. if you haven't seen it yet you absolutely should!!!

neutral · AI labelView post →I know The Pagemaster isn't supposed to be a scary movie, but hot damn I could not sleep as a kid from it.
negative · AI labelView post →If I wanted to watch a Culkin movie from the 90s, it would be The Good Son, NOT The Pagemaster. I love reading but if I wanted to watch something that teaches me a good lesson about reading, Reading Rainbow is RIGHT there
negative · AI labelView post →Rewatching The Pagemaster. Forgot how cute it is. A movie where books are the kid's only friends and teach him to have adventures, believe in himself, and face his fears. Great cast too #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #books
positive · AI labelView post →You seem like a man of culture. Does anyone else remember [The Pagemaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pagemaster)? I had a vague recollection of a fantasy movie about libraries and a them traveling to a "book world" sort of. I would prolly get pretty immense nostalgia from watching that. **Or** I'll ruin the memories I have. Perhaps better not?
neutral · AI labelView post →The Pagemaster is stunning in its misconception to the point it’s one of Doug Walker’s genuine best reviews as he nails the problem: it’s about a shut-in who learns to love to read. What? Sure he learns something about courage but it’s a meaningless film with no lessons.
negative · AI labelView post →Gosh I need to rewatch The Pagemaster soon. What a great film.
positive · AI labelView post →Kels and I are watching The Pagemaster before bed tonight. This used to stay in rotation when I was a kid, absolutely loved this movie. Watching it now it seems like it may have been ahead of it's time. Have you seen it? What do you think?
positive · AI labelView post →Whole movie was a lot to handle for tiny me, but man I LOVED spooky stuff so much. The rush always kept me there. Except for Mr Hyde from The Pagemaster. That fucker literally prevented me from watching the whole damn movie XD

neutral · AI labelView post →First encounter for me was definitely the dragon from the movie The Pagemaster. That scene rewired my brain forever
neutral · AI labelView post →Actually, no--there was also "The Pagemaster," which I always wanted to rewatch because there was a behind-the-scenes segment on "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" before the film.

positive · AI labelView post →Threw on The Pagemaster while I work and what a demented movie.
negative · AI labelView post →They're a good listen! I have them on my phone still lmao I especially loved the Comet and Moominland one for being so hopeful in a rough time and the Pagemaster one cause that movie fucking sucks ass and it was really funny. Sad you all never got to do the ATLA movie, but c'est la vie
negative · AI labelView post →At this point, so many people lack the imagination they might as well be no different than the kid in The Pagemaster at the start of the film. Overanalytical and maybe chickenhearted.

positive · AI labelView post →📚🎮 The Pagemaster on SNES! A forgotten '90s movie tie-in that mixed platforming with a little storybook magic. Not the easiest adventure, but it had a charm all its own. Did you play this one growing up? 👀 #SNES #RetroGaming #Nintendo #90sGaming #IncredibleConnonedrum
neutral · AI labelView post →11. What was your first vore 'awakening' that you can remember? Okay so as a little kid I watched this movie called The Pagemaster and at one point a cartoon dragon swallows the protagonist whole. Now I need feral dragons to eat me
neutral · AI labelView post →The Pagemaster Macaulay Culkin gets isekai'd into the world of the library book stories Very underrated animated movie
positive · AI labelView post →The Pagemaster is *not* a good film it's my terrible no good favourite film of all time and explains a lot about my tastes in general, and i will subject most people to watching it, but it is - and i cannot stress this enough - Not Good
negative · AI labelView post →You had a good childhood if you know any at least 3 of these movies The Last Unicorn Aliens for Breakfast Waterworld Princess and the Goblin ALF (the movie) Neverending Story Balto The Pagemaster Angels in the Outfield We're Back Hook
neutral · AI labelView post →The Pagemaster (1994) If you ACTUALLY grew up in the 90s/gained sentience in the early 2000s, then this timeless coming of age film needed no introduction. We have this imaginative film to thank for others like it to come.

neutral · AI labelView post →The paint scene from The Pagemaster. I was just a toddler when I first watched this film, and it gave me nightmares of being chased by unknown entities. (I actually liked this film growing up. I feel like it's overhated)
neutral · AI labelView post →The Pagemaster (1994) Yeah its an aight little movie, I like the message decently enough but I always felt that its kinda working against itself. A movie about "the magic of reading and books" but all the literary works referenced here (except Treasure Island) are here for 3 minutes max, so lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Pagemaster forgot how good this movie is
positive · AI labelView post →The reason I say this is because while his physical body does not go into another world, the kid's mind does and the librarian even acknowledges this in the movie AND he also voices the Pagemaster himself. You watch the kid fall back into his unconscious body, yes, but he still went somewhere else.
