Richie Tyler liebt die Welt der Zahlen und Statistiken. Ihm gefällt die Sicherheit, die sie ihm bieten. Sowieso geht Richie jeder Gefahr, jedem Risiko und jedem Abenteuer aus dem Weg. Nicht einmal in das Baumhaus seines Vaters will der ängstliche Junge klettern. Als er auf dem Rad von einem Unwetter überrascht wird, sucht er deshalb auch schnellstmöglich eine sichere Unterkunft und findet diese in der Bibliothek von Mr. Dewey, dem Pagemaster. Doch dann stößt sich Richie in der Bibliothek den Kopf, fällt in Ohnmacht und erwacht in einer Zeichentrickwelt wieder, die ihn durch verschiedene fiktive Welten leitet. Begleitet wird er dabei von den sprechenden Büchern Abenteuer, Fantasie und Horror. Richie erfährt so die Macht des Außergewöhnlichem, des Spanndendem und des Unsicheren.

The Pagemaster is on my list of movies that connected me with as a child, but no longer is for me. I loved The Pagemaster when it came out on VHS in 1995. As a 10-year old with anxiety, I connected with the protagonist. Revisiting it today, it felt cheap and lazy. The animation wasn't great. The obstacles were way too easy to overcome. The short run time doesn't do the movie any favors. It did have some good performances and some funny lines. I thought Christopher Lloyd did a great job in the live action segment.
Saw this one when I was younger, not much of any of it was retained in my memory. After a revisit, I can see why. It’s pretty average throughout, runtime is short and segments move by quickly. There is however a song around the 2/3 mark that felt quite out of place.
Saudades infância. Ótimo filme.
Doesn't hold up as well as you'd expect, especially for a Johnston film. Not that it's bad at all, it's just very pedestrian. Feels a bit more like an after school special. It's still kinda fun though.
Perfectly tackles art as a form of escapism and learning more about yourself as well as other experiences in life, but this just wasn’t my thing at all and I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed it when I was younger either. 45/100
