Feedback: There is completely bonquers animated film!
 
Positives:
  • It does have some funny moments with the ghost and human characters making crazy decisions
  • Kibosh is actually the best part of the movie
  • There is enthusiasm in pacing wise

Mixed:
  • Casper and Holly relationship does have somewhat value through this movie, since it is wholesome, but the misunderstanding does make it a downfall with the lying situation and true identity.
  • Overused sound effects, even though they are still good
  • While the voice acting for the the ghostly trio are not bad, they seem to be very unpleasant and it is throughout the movie

Negatives:
  • Inconsistent animation
  • A few scenes that are just a little uncomfortable
  • Why do movies have to start out with a generic horror film in the beginning?
  • Do ghost actually eat food or snacks in real life?
  • The film is too dark and hard to see when it is nighttime
  • Why do songs have to be repeated?
  • Where is the story coming from?
  • How does ghost come from emails and technology?
  • The music itself sounds pretty bad and hard to balance
  • Editing seems to be off with the color correction
