@@Gabby-hw7my I hope it improves for you. I think it's plenty obvious to many that things don't quite work out as we envisioned when we were younger but I hope the memories and hopes continue to help you march forward.
i know right this song was the first time my love and i danced. and i said can i keep you to her. sadly i couldnt keep her and she is going to be my unfinished business
As a kid, death was always something that hit me so hard, despite never losing anyone. Her mother coming back to talk to her dad was so sad to me. I would cry every time. As for Casper, I thought Devon Sawa was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. When he turns and you see him for the first time, it was a feeling 8 year old me had never felt 🤣
This scene used to always get to me as a kid. And the fact that death could take your loved ones away in the physical form was something I never could deal with. This my sister’s favorite movie as a kid. Unfortunately she passed away last November right before her birthday. I remember watching this movie so much with her and that song meant so much for me. The lyrics were powerful, she was truly my best friend in this life. I know you’re out there somewhere Ashley😢 & that hook especially will always make me think of you🌹❤️
So glad my childhood was filled with movies like this one!! Yes, I was one of those girls who had a massive crush on human Casper! I mean, how could you not? Those baby blues and the way he says “Can I keep you?” 10 year old me was like “YESSSS you can!”
Used to get teary eyed at the Kat and Casper dance, but now as a grown man, her dad's arc makes me bawl. I know this movie has a lot of goofy kid-centric gags and the villains are stock, but I do think there's something so melancholy about him dedicating his life to searching for her and finally getting that one minute of closure.
I’m a grown man, but I can say that this movie is one of the saddest, darkest, heartwarming, bitter-sweet (rated PG) movies I have ever seen. I cried like a wussy most of the film. One of my favorites.
Same! I’ve watched this movie since I was at least 6-7 but only in recent years (late twenties now) did I bite and rewatch for nostalgia and man oh man, when this scene comes on after he gives up his chance at becoming human so her dad can instead, and the mom returns… I have to turn my face to stone to keep the tears from flowing lmaoo
That part at 3:35, when the Melody starts playing and the way she says "Casper" make this such a touching scene. Kids movies don't typically display this level of romance especially of this caliber.
Are we ignoring the fact that he purposefully made them float so that she would get scared and latch onto to him. And then when he says, "Can I keep you?" I swoon every time.
@@freespirit7450 It can still happen! Like the late Joe Diffie said, God made life a gamble and as long as you're still able to read this, you're still in the game!
Being raised in the early 90s was the best thing ever. World started changing for the worst starting in 2000. But fair enough on your comment. Anyone born after 2001 sucks lol. We 80s and 90s kids had it made!
This is one of the most sweetest and heartwarming moments ever in a Halloween movie such as this one. It's absolutely gorgeous, and Casper is a timeless classic. Cute and sweet.
@@DWSmith-x6c Agreed! I bet they ended up fully making out each time they rehearsed this romantic scene alone together, and the director probably had to pull them apart after filming the kiss, heh heh
@@DWSmith-x6c Yup! I noticed the camera angle suddenly changed a few seconds after they started kissing. I bet they both continued for at least a couple minutes while ignoring the director yelling "Cut!...CUT!" Did you notice Kat's mouth was open when cute little Casper's head turned invisible? Wow, I guess that kiss was long and DEEP!
I remember getting confused seeing him in Idle Hands... 😂 That was one hell of a wild ride if you're into B-movie horror movies like Evil Dead. Then again in Final Destination. I guess he has a knack for horror flicks. lol
I remember fan-girling while watching this as a kid and having to tell myself, "Don't get attached! He's a ghost. They can't stay together! Just enjoy the moment!" ✨😭❤✨
Yeah, ikr! How was that lucky older girl able to resist fully kissing the incredibly good looking kid during that moment?? His mouth was just ONE inch away from her lips!
@@DWSmith-x6c Yeah. Cute little Casper was only twelve and the gorgeous girl Kat was fifteen in the story but it's obvious she doesn't care about the age difference and she instantly fell in love ♥
This movie came out when I was ten, the year after my mom died, and these scenes in particular with Amelia are still completely devastating to watch. It also always made me sad that Kat’s dad and even Casper got to see her mom, but Kat never got a chance. 😢
The part when Amelia finally appears to James. It’s so heartbreaking. He’d been searching for her for so long and he *finally found her.* After all this time.
Makes me cry every single time. Reminds me of Grandma Lu. She was a very special person. Not even ALS got in her way of who she was-a devout follower of Jesus Christ. 😢
@@tammiepage6489 Kat learned to move on quicker than James. Her only problem is her worry that James' failure to move on up until now was unintentionally ruining their lives.

The “can I keep you line?” gave me exciting butterflies in my stomach when I was 10. 25 years later I met the love of my life and he randomly said those words to me on our second date ❤❤
Being a kid I always loved the dance scene, now that I’m a father I cry on this part when he says “I don’t really know what I’m doing.” Hits so hard. GREAT MOVIE

@@Eric_Plunk the fact that their 12 and she sitting there at her own party by herself and Casper walks up and make everything better for her is so touching to me. She was such a great child actress! I understand why you like this seen so much.
Im a 90s kid and this has always been a favourite of mine... i always tear up at the bit where the dad and the mum talk and... can i keep you? Why is adult life so crap? Everything seemed so easy back then x❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
As I have gotten older my reaction to this scene has changed so much. When I was younger it was allllllll about the romance. Now... James and Amelia make me cry so hard....
Idk why the fact that the trio kept their word to James is so heartwarming to me. They may be jerks but they gave him the closure he needed, they really did come through for their friend.
it's that piano score. No song or score could ever make me cry. Only this one. It's so beautiful, sad, haunting. Even rewatching this scene now is hard for me. I'm 30
@Jesse Ramirez exactly. That piano motif throughout the movie is a punch in the gut EVERY. TIME. I'm 33 now and grew up on this film, it wasn't until I was an adult that I learned to really appreciate the magic of this score and how death is dealt with. Amazing amazing movie
“Please don’t let me be yours” it’s so heartbreaking but she’s also begging him to let her go so he can move forward for their daughter but also so she truly rest in peace 🥺
Very few movies stand the test of time. This one has done so magnificently. The CGI and cinematography that went into this is masterful and I love it so much
This scene makes me cry every time, I love the song and lyrics, then James saying goodbye to his wife is just heartbreaking. Such a underestimated film.
I remember this being one of my favorite movies growing up. I was so upset that Casper never fully became a real boy again. But it was so touching. They’ve been remaking all the great recently, including Hocus Pocus…I vote for a new Casper, one where he finally becomes alive again! ❤
Ive not watched this movie since the late 90's. gonna rewatch it for nostalgia. 90's was the most beautiful and peaceful era. So sad to know those times are long gone
I've never seen this movie before. I'm not even sure what compelled me to click. But this scene is amazing. That dance scene made me feel so nostalgic for a movie I've never seen before. The music is so good lol
My mom died from cancer a few years ago and this movie hits so hard. No matter how much you’ve lost it doesn’t define you as a person. Just love and treat the people around you with respect.
I don’t even have the words to describe how powerful this was for me back in the day.. This movie had such an impact on me as a kid since it was around that time I lost my older brother and my Dad.. and I still remember how this one scene, tho unbelievably sad, brought me so much peace and literally helped get me thru that time. It’s so incredibly moving that even now as a grown man, brings tears to my eyes every time I see it! I consider myself so blessed to have grown up in a time with such heartwarming and memorable films such as this one, and I would sincerely like to Thank all those responsible for making them!
This movie is massively underrated, people assume this is just another one those campy comic book adaptations like Dudley Do-Right, but this is surprisingly adult.
Being in Pizza Hut as a kid in the 90s having the Casper cups they gave out there. It really was special to be a kid in the 90’s. We aren’t promised tomorrow so kids of the 90s really have to cherish those times. It was simple yet at the same time had everything we loved
What a great movie. I used to watch it with my 3 boys when they were little. Such great memories from then and we all love to see it now. Heartwarming.💗
Had everything when I first saw this. Lost everyone since then. This made me cry. Miss my wife so much. If only I could hold her one more time and feel her touch. Smell her hair. Hear her voice.
i remember being so pissed that she didnt allow him to be fully human forever. i mean the fact that he not only gave up his fathers potion for her dad, (who pissed me off at the fact he got drunk and almost forgot kat), but he is and probably would have been the best man for her in the future. the moment he saw her, he literally worshipped the ground she walked on. imagining her growing up and meeting new people and him staying a ghost breaks my heart… either he needs to figure out his unfinished business or the dad remakes that damn potion was all i was thinking at the end of this.
I've seen an interview with Devon Sawa. He said Christina brought him to this movie after "Then and now." Apparently, he's Canadian and had no idea how adored he became after this movie❤
When the music to this soundtrack plays any where, I love how most people will be Awwwww knowing it came from such a beautiful movie. The dance scene was my favorite part, it showed the lost love of James reuniting with his wife for just a brief time and it showed the beautiful love that Casper and Kat have.
I'm crying right now. God, this movie is the reason why that I love my family so much. So much love, happiness, sadness, sweetness, laughter, all came from this movie. This movie is the reason why I love everyone around me so much.. And.... *Sniff* I can't man. An older teenager is crying in happiness because of how this movie has impacted me.😢

“Please don’t let me be yours” it’s so heartbreaking but she’s also begging him to let her go so he can move forward for their daughter but also so she truly rest in peace 🥺
Well and so he can cross over once he passes away like she did.
Very few movies stand the test of time. This one has done so magnificently. The CGI and cinematography that went into this is masterful and I love it so much
The cgi effects for this movie were considered cutting edge for the time. This was the first movie to have had a computer animated lead character
This scene makes me cry every time, I love the song and lyrics, then James saying goodbye to his wife is just heartbreaking. Such a underestimated film.
I remember this being one of my favorite movies growing up. I was so upset that Casper never fully became a real boy again. But it was so touching. They’ve been remaking all the great recently, including Hocus Pocus…I vote for a new Casper, one where he finally becomes alive again! ❤
Now I would be down for seeing that!!
@@MJthebookworm Count me in!
They considered making a Casper 2, but Christina Ricci wanted to move on from kiddie roles
This movie came out when I was 13. Watching this now as a grown (40) woman who's mother has died. I had tears rolling down my face watching this.
Sorry to hear about your mom.
@@Mr.Face222 Thank you.
Ive not watched this movie since the late 90's. gonna rewatch it for nostalgia. 90's was the most beautiful and peaceful era. So sad to know those times are long gone
Dude I had such a crush on human Casper as a kid 😂
I had a crush on Peter Pan 🤣 the old live action
I had a crush on the girl as a kid.
same lmaoo
We all did
I've never seen this movie before. I'm not even sure what compelled me to click. But this scene is amazing. That dance scene made me feel so nostalgic for a movie I've never seen before. The music is so good lol
It's a great movie. The whole franchise is awesome
Must watch!
This movie is so underrated
You have to see the movie it good 👍
God I was so in love with Devon Sawa when this came out 😂
I know wha u mean :)
SAME!! ESPECIALLY when he was in Little Giants
Same here!
Me too! 🤣 He looks so young to me now
@@mblodget2418 Just imagine if he kissed you :)
My mom died from cancer a few years ago and this movie hits so hard. No matter how much you’ve lost it doesn’t define you as a person. Just love and treat the people around you with respect.
Omg i remember having such a big crush on devon on this 😂
Do you think that lucky older girl had a crush on the good looking kid too?
That Scream.Pause.Turn.Run-Screaming sequence always gets me rollin - even after all these years lol
And the flip over the fence.
I don’t even have the words to describe how powerful this was for me back in the day..
This movie had such an impact on me as a kid since it was around that time I lost my older brother and my Dad.. and I still remember how this one scene, tho unbelievably sad, brought me so much peace and literally helped get me thru that time. It’s so incredibly moving that even now as a grown man, brings tears to my eyes every time I see it!
I consider myself so blessed to have grown up in a time with such heartwarming and memorable films such as this one, and I would sincerely like to Thank all those responsible for making them!
At the age of five of watching this, that's when I knew I was developing crushes on boys. But the way he said "can I keep you?" aweee my heart❤😍
This is such a classic moment. "Can I keep you?" Perfect!
my favorite scene from Casper 😭 so beautiful and bittersweet
Wow that scene at 3:32 ”Can I keep you“ makes me cry 😭
His chuckle and smile, "I told you I was a good dancer."
That line had my teen heart 😍😍
Me too
I always got upset because Casper never turn into a human full-time, I wish Casper was a human So he can live his life with Kat
I felt the same way
Me also,such a sad and heartwarming scene...
It sure was.
Me too I wish he'd stay human
I cried as a kid
This movie is massively underrated, people assume this is just another one those campy comic book adaptations like Dudley Do-Right, but this is surprisingly adult.
I agree and George of the Jungle is another good live action cartoon adaptation
Just found out yesterday that Richie Rich was also based off of a comic book . Macaulay Culkin played him in the movie version
I never thought a kids movie could make me cry but here we are. Families need more movies like this, not the garbage being churned out today.
Being in Pizza Hut as a kid in the 90s having the Casper cups they gave out there. It really was special to be a kid in the 90’s. We aren’t promised tomorrow so kids of the 90s really have to cherish those times. It was simple yet at the same time had everything we loved
Pullmans performance in this scene is on point. Shoes a grief stricken man getting his wish to see his dead wife.
Who else got chills when he said "can I keep you"
I'm going to guess practically every woman in existence.
then and now. then, child actors were on their A-game and the script material was based in everyday human emotions.
I love how hauntingly beautiful the music is
This song gets me right in the feels.
What a great movie. I used to watch it with my 3 boys when they were little. Such great memories from then and we all love to see it now. Heartwarming.💗
I wish he would've stayed human 😭 💔. One of my favorite movies. 😍🤗
James Horners score is so beautiful.
Had everything when I first saw this. Lost everyone since then. This made me cry. Miss my wife so much. If only I could hold her one more time and feel her touch. Smell her hair. Hear her voice.
Just by listening to the soundtrack I started to cry...I haven't remembered this movie for a long time. It's really beautiful.
i remember being so pissed that she didnt allow him to be fully human forever. i mean the fact that he not only gave up his fathers potion for her dad, (who pissed me off at the fact he got drunk and almost forgot kat), but he is and probably would have been the best man for her in the future. the moment he saw her, he literally worshipped the ground she walked on.
imagining her growing up and meeting new people and him staying a ghost breaks my heart… either he needs to figure out his unfinished business or the dad remakes that damn potion was all i was thinking at the end of this.
It breaks my heart when he says “I thought I’d have a hundred things to say when I . . . . “
I can’t make it through this scene without crying 🥺😭
Omg!! I still start bawling when he says “can I keep you” in this part.
After growing up on The Addams Family and this movie, I only now just realized at 20 that Christina Ricci plays in both.
She’s also miss thornhill in Wednesday
@@EnchantedNinjago I actually immediately realized. I wasn't expecting it but it was so nice to see her return. I can't wait for season 2. 😆
I've seen an interview with Devon Sawa. He said Christina brought him to this movie after "Then and now." Apparently, he's Canadian and had no idea how adored he became after this movie❤
This scene makes me blush so much...
The music is so soothing
One of the sweetest and most romantic movie scenes ever!
This is one of the sweetest, most heartbreaking scenes I have ever watched. Best, sweetest, and saddest line I have ever heard!!
When the music to this soundtrack plays any where, I love how most people will be Awwwww knowing it came from such a beautiful movie. The dance scene was my favorite part, it showed the lost love of James reuniting with his wife for just a brief time and it showed the beautiful love that Casper and Kat have.
This scene makes me cry cause after so long he finally found his wife 😢
Oh my gosh this takes me back. Simpler times. Wow
Same
Before swine flu?
Yup, this is before The COVID-19, though.
Love how Casper got a gift for that night. Kat's mom is like an angel from heaven
The best part ever when he said “”Can I keep you”.I had a crush on Casper when I was a kid loved this movie .
I love this movie love when Casper says can I keep you
I was like 10 when this came out and I remember being so mad that she only let him have until 10pm.
It does seem like he only got to be with her for not even ten minutes
For a kids movie it had such powerful moments in it
I'm crying right now. God, this movie is the reason why that I love my family so much. So much love, happiness, sadness, sweetness, laughter, all came from this movie. This movie is the reason why I love everyone around me so much.. And.... *Sniff* I can't man. An older teenager is crying in happiness because of how this movie has impacted me.😢
OMG I couldn't stop crying.
This scene made me truly believe in love. 😊
Love the pfp
💯👻🎃🙏👁💚👑♾🎉
@@kai.417 Thank you very much.
PFP
PFP or proper fuck placement, a term coined by an article writer Meathead. This term is usually used when talking about Trent Reznor or the main person in the band Nine Inch Nails or NIN. It deals with how Trent uses the word fuck in songs and interviews.
good pfp: I want to fuck you like an animal
bad pfp: I hate fuck band Good Charlotte. (the cannot be replaced with fuck)
