So, literally 27 years later, I FINALLY found this video. I remember seeing this scene on TV when I was 5 in 1994, it shocked me. I always wanted to watch it again to erase this childhood trauma! But I never managed to find it. This time I found you. Thanks UA-cam.
this scene gave me such a surreal magical feeling when i watched it at 5 years old, i loved it, and i've always had it hidden somewhere in my brain. I don't remember anything else of the movie
The exact same thing with me. This scene would periodically pop up as a very vague memory, I couldn’t remember the actor, the film, the story or even whether it was animated or not (now I understand why). I remember also finding it so surreal, magical and fascinating as a child (must have been around 4-5) and this is the only scene to have lingered in my memory. The memory would only reemerge every few years and I never thought to google it. As another person commented: well, I’ve got you now. It’s interesting that it’s this particular scene that seems to have left an impression on so many children.
@@bartholomew3301yes! That’s exactly how I feel. I have this very vague memory of the paint dripping down. I decided to google it right now. I remembered it was in a library so I typed in librarian movies on google - I completely forget it was called the page master. Such a warm, comforting feeling to watch this scene again
Holy shit... I thought I was the only one lol I always remembered it was a great movie but somehow the only parts I remember were the bike ride in the storm and this part. It was simultaneously epic and traumatizing lol
This scene always frightened me as a kid. The moment where Rich wakes up, screams out and all that’s heard is his echo, and then you hear the sound swords clashing, yelling, horse hooves galloping, it was always hard for me not to get terrified at this moment. But that’s why it was so good.
Love to see I’m not the only one that this movie absolutely terrified but also made feel such an unexplainable feeling of nostalgia it’s incredible! I absolutely will always remember this scene most of all.
Loved this film when I was a kid, randomly came into my head moments ago, and a short description on google then a quick search later and im here, so much nostalgia
For this being released in 1994, it had awesome visual effects. I remember back then watching it, this scene looked SO realistic and was frightening! Lol. As were other parts of the movie..Like the Jekyll and Hyde scene 😵💫lol. Of course Now it’s changed because of the improvement of movie effects, but it’s still so great.
I don't care what anyone says, this movie is my childhood! My memory! And I love it! And I don't care if I get criticize for it! I love this movie for life!
This scene has lived rent free in my head ever since I saw it as a kid. Something about seeking shelter from a storm in some big beautiful library after dark. What a vibe.
It took me all these years to figure this out. For a split second, I literally thought he was having a hallucination, but it was actually the paint from the ceiling melting
Holy shit, this was the most terrifying movie of my childhood. I never could remember what it was called and I was starting to think I imagined it. I remember the paint chasing him looked super realistic to me.
Has anyone as a kid started watching a movie at someone else’s house but you never got to finish it? And you never really had the opportunity to see it again? That’s this movie for me, and come to think of it there’s a lot of kids movies like that.
I remember being like 6 years old at my grandmas during the summers and she had all the best old movies from the 80-90s, this one included, but I could never remember the name of it. Kept thinking it was 'the librarian" or something. Til I googled "Kid in giant library with wizard". So fuckin crazy man. This and Ferngully.
I loved this movie as a kid. I just randomly remembered it now. UA-cam is the closest thing we have to a time machine. This part always made me want to paint. I miss animated movies that looked like this. 🥰
When i tell you i watched this shit obsessively as a little kid ... Man it was my baby sitter ... Mom would leave for errands and tell me to put in a tape ... i was like aight guess i have to put in the PageMaster VHS again until she comes home ..
The ceiling spinning and morphing is what I experienced when I smoked Salvia. It immediately brought me back to the childhood memory of this scene. Trippy mane
It did back in 1994, lol. You've seen a drastic improvement in technology since then and so you're automatically comparing it to today's advancements without even thinking about it.
Man old people surrounded me born in 2003 and man did i love this movie i really loved this scene honstly i still think it looks good if just a little dated
Totally forgot this movie from my childhood existed, young Macaulay gives me harry vibes. Nose por que habia olvidado esta pelicula de mi infancia. PS Aqui Macaulay se parece mucho a harry.
Kids are afraid of everything. My wife and I rented a tape of The Pagemaster to watch with her nice, and unfortunately we got to the moment where Macaulay Culkin's in the library and gets overtaken and drowned in rivers of paint, and suddenly the tape went nuts and became unreadable. Her niece started screaming. Now she's afraid of getting drowned in paint and turning into a cartoon. I don't blame the people who made that movie for making a terrified Macaulay Culkin character get drowned in paint, but some kids really do think it's possible to get swallowed up into a cartoon prison where they can't escape, and hell, if I believed that, I'd be afraid too.
This scene scared the absolute crap out of me as a little kid. I would run into the other room because I was so afraid. But oh my goodness, the effects look so bad in this movie
I just watched it again for the first time last night in many years. It felt longer as a kid, but looking at it now as an adult, it definitely had some issues. It passed his 3 tests, but barely, and he never actually defeated the dragon. They just got away from it.
I recalled eating cheese and chips and looking at the yellow dragon melting at a sleepover at my cousins place in rhe mid 90s as a kid 😮😊😅🎉ah the memories of the dragon melting haha
I know this film was made decades before Sam raimi made spiderman 3. But I am weirdly reminded of the venom transformation from that scene with the paint falling down and one of them growing on the jacket before being removed in a failed attempt to get it off. Considering how popular it is for fans to make what if symbiote, I’m surprised no one made a what if symbiote version of this scene with the kid becoming like a paint colorful venom dragon thing?
seen a hundred times on vhs when I waz five. seeing again now... as the colors splash him lol. the compass literally on him. N ofcourse... HE IS the exit.

Same. I had nightmares forever after seeing this movie at 3 or 4. This is my first time seeing this scene again.
Holy shit i have exactly the same
It took me so long to find the name of this movie but I grew up w this movie and it was one of my favorites. It's so nice to watch scenes again.
@@honeysmackt The dinosaur movie, is it The Land Before Time?
@@thawachyasintinoraskasloui4238 no it’s called We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story
I was shocked to find out this movie got bad reviews. It was one of my childhood favorites.
Same, I enjoyed it quite a bit and even bought Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea because of it
Also one of my favorites
Yeah, same here
For real I just remembered this movie for the first time in so many years, I look it up just to see that lots of people apparently didn't like it.
@@ryman1933 I saw this movie at the day care, and I couldn't remember the name of the movie.

We all feel the same way one seen we didn’t forget
We all lived the same life
@@bartholomew3301yes! That’s exactly how I feel. I have this very vague memory of the paint dripping down. I decided to google it right now.

One of the most underrated film’s of all time.
I was born in 92. I had this on vhs, my cousin Sharon gave it to me. I’ll always remember this movie.
Born 91. The early 90s was the best
Same!
This scene always frightened me as a kid. The moment where Rich wakes up, screams out and all that’s heard is his echo, and then you hear the sound swords clashing, yelling, horse hooves galloping, it was always hard for me not to get terrified at this moment. But that’s why it was so good.
Kind of gives off Jumanji vibes. Then again, it is the same director.
Love to see I’m not the only one that this movie absolutely terrified but also made feel such an unexplainable feeling of nostalgia it’s incredible! I absolutely will always remember this scene most of all.
Damn I’m so glad I found out this movie agian since I was a child
Loved this film when I was a kid, randomly came into my head moments ago, and a short description on google then a quick search later and im here, so much nostalgia
Me too!!! Just put my age in perspective 😮
Same. I'm a fan of The Pagemaster, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Spaceballs, all Grinch movies, and my Chody Crawford stories.
For this being released in 1994, it had awesome visual effects.
I remember back then watching it, this scene looked SO realistic and was frightening! Lol. As were other parts of the movie..Like the Jekyll and Hyde scene 😵💫lol.
Of course Now it’s changed because of the improvement of movie effects, but it’s still so great.
The Jekyll and Hyde scene STILL scares me!
The effects looked even better on a fuzzy CRT TV
One of the best animated movies out there as my childhood.
Mine too!
@@AdriannaNealey25 Me three
So the mine
This scene gave me NIGHTMARES when I was little
Did the paint dragon chase you?
I don't care what anyone says, this movie is my childhood! My memory! And I love it! And I don't care if I get criticize for it! I love this movie for life!
I must agree with you
I agree
I agree!
I finally found it! Omg I was born in 93 and I cant believe I found it after all this time!!!!
Macaulay reprising his signature scream from Home Alone always gets me 😄
Macaulay Culkin
Always yelling , nevermind if uses after shave
SO EPIC! X3
This brings so much beautiful memories during my sad moments. I miss watching this seriously.
Literally anything the Paint touches. Becomes a Cartoon
*you are a illustration*
I just now noticed that... even the bookcases were becoming cartoons
Did his yellow jacket become an illustration too?
This scene has lived rent free in my head ever since I saw it as a kid. Something about seeking shelter from a storm in some big beautiful library after dark. What a vibe.
This scene scared me as a kid, even though I always love to watch it
I completely forgotten this old movie, I remember watching it as a kid.
The first time I saw this scene, it scared the living crap outta me!!
this was my childhood, the most memorable scene and line ill never forget. "horror?, i promised him"
It took me all these years to figure this out. For a split second, I literally thought he was having a hallucination, but it was actually the paint from the ceiling melting
Dragon: YOU COLOURED ME IN PHOTOSHOP WITHOUT CREATING A NEW LAYER, DIDN'T YOU!?!
Tyler: AaRrGh!!
Another classic from my Childhood…Freaked me out a bit, but still. Lol
Loved this movie as a kid, I honestly watched it every day on video cassette 😝 take me back 90’s!!!!!😅
Yeah, same here!
I watched this movie all the time involuntarily as a kid during the afterschool daycare and holy shit it genuinely scarred me
Holy shit, this was the most terrifying movie of my childhood. I never could remember what it was called and I was starting to think I imagined it. I remember the paint chasing him looked super realistic to me.
I would definitely go to a library like this
I remember watching this in the 90s as a kid. Looking back waw, I probably watch soon. :3
This was scary to me as a kid now i love it
Has anyone as a kid started watching a movie at someone else’s house but you never got to finish it? And you never really had the opportunity to see it again? That’s this movie for me, and come to think of it there’s a lot of kids movies like that.
Not gonna lie this scene yous to scare the shit out of me when I was 10 years old back in 2017!!!!
I was born in 1993 in May 3 I still love this movie 😊
That was the year that David Kirschner's previous film "Once Upon a Forest".
Still impressive visual effects.
This scared me as a kid. I was too afraid to go to a library.
Same! Also, you have an AWESOME profile pic!
Me too
I don’t even remember a single thing that happened in this movie but I remember it was legendary lol
I remember this in my 5th grade class and I loved the whole movie!
Any time I hear Macauly Caulkin shout, “Hello?,” my brain automatically goes, “Uncle Frank? Uncle Frank is this a joke?”
Ah yes, that old western Issekai. Love it
This scene was like a fever dream. Must be over 25 years since I’ve seen this and I swore I couldn’t tell if I dreamt it or if it was real lol.
I remember being like 6 years old at my grandmas during the summers and she had all the best old movies from the 80-90s, this one included, but I could never remember the name of it. Kept thinking it was 'the librarian" or something. Til I googled "Kid in giant library with wizard". So fuckin crazy man. This and Ferngully.
FERNGULLY YESSSS
@@kells8015 One my my most nostalgic movies growing up, tied with the Brave Little Toaster lol.
This brought me back some core memories
I loved this movie as a kid. I just randomly remembered it now. UA-cam is the closest thing we have to a time machine. This part always made me want to paint. I miss animated movies that looked like this. 🥰
remember being 3 and loving this movie i’ve been trying to find it and now i’m 13 AND I FINALLY FOUND IT.
When i tell you i watched this shit obsessively as a little kid ... Man it was my baby sitter ... Mom would leave for errands and tell me to put in a tape ... i was like aight guess i have to put in the PageMaster VHS again until she comes home ..
I used to watch it when I was a kid. Also… I didn’t know Kevin is in this movie!
Doc Brown too
Im 38 and i jus had a memory of this movie and had to find it so nastalgic ❤❤❤❤❤
This scene terrified my young impressionable five-year-old brain when it first came out!
Those movies you thought you dreamt it!!! Another is Jacob two two meets the hooded fang
0:50 oh no! The ceiling is melting!
Judge Doom: I'm melting! MELTING!!!!! Oh, what a world! Oh,... no.
The ceiling spinning and morphing is what I experienced when I smoked Salvia.
It immediately brought me back to the childhood memory of this scene.
Trippy mane
He could've been a real good Harry Potter
His run 😆 Kinda iconic
wow. I haven't seen this in nearly 30 years, I had toys from this too. I can't believe this even came up
I wish watch this masterpiece again
Macaulay Culkin's yell never changed since Home Alone xDDD
I hope this movie comes to Disney+ one day.
Most likely HBO Max. Warner Bros owns the distribution rights to this movie
Same
Yes finally 🙌 I've been searching this movie for long time .. what 1994 😂😂😂
I use to be so scared of this part as a child lol I watched the movie once and never again til now as a grown women
Best animated movie! Favourite movie, also the mmpr movie Trailer made it so much better haha
The ceiling melting was the most horrifying scene ever
Wauw basisschool tijden vond het zo een leuke film alles werd veranderd in een cartoon!
My Childhood Nostalgia Back then
I remember this paint looking way more realistic
It did back in 1994, lol. You've seen a drastic improvement in technology since then and so you're automatically comparing it to today's advancements without even thinking about it.
1:16 scary dragon.
this movie was so good! Some parts freaked me out but overall this movie was a favorite as a kid.
I remember watching this movie back in elementary school, I just remembered😭😂
I remember watching this ages ago, elite film
can't belive I finally found the name of the movie (and the scene) that traumatized me when I was a kid.
Macaulay culkin sounds like milhouse from the simpsons when he screams
Having de ja vu from Home Alone 2 when he slips on the ice whilst being pursued by the wet/sticky bandits
that part is similar to the part in his well known movie Home Alone 2
Man old people surrounded me born in 2003 and man did i love this movie i really loved this scene honstly i still think it looks good if just a little dated
Totally forgot this movie from my childhood existed, young Macaulay gives me harry vibes.

oh man i fucking loved this part as a kid!
This and Fantasia unleash so many childhood memories.. crazy
I love this movie
Lo estuve buscando por 15 años
This scene has a very Potter 1 and 2 vibe that i love!
I finally found this movie!! I swear to God I thought it was a fever dream I had as a child but i found it!!!
Poor kevin!
This freaked me out as a kid but I loved it at the same time 😂
Eu achava que esse filme era um surto da minha cabeça, mas ele existe
As much of Macaulay Culkin movies I watched as a kid, I never seen this one. This is the 2nd movie he wore glasses.
My childhood
I just watched it again for the first time last night in many years. It felt longer as a kid, but looking at it now as an adult, it definitely had some issues. It passed his 3 tests, but barely, and he never actually defeated the dragon. They just got away from it.
This scene tripped me out so hard as a kid
An extremely distant and fuzzy memory of this movie came to me. I found it by searching "kids movie that begins with a flood library".
I’ll never forget this scene bro
1:13 Is it me, or does this look like the evil opening to Reading Rainbow?
That's what the Nostalgia critic said!
(sinister voice) Take a look, it's in a book... a reading rainbow.... MWAHAHAHAAAA!!!
I played pagemaster game in my childhood and it was awesome
I was only born in 2010, but I had this on VHS and holy was this movie my life😭
thank god I found this, many years searching on youtube with keyword "harry potter dumbledore painting scene" and still got nothing until now.
I recalled eating cheese and chips and looking at the yellow dragon melting at a sleepover at my cousins place in rhe mid 90s as a kid 😮😊😅🎉ah the memories of the dragon melting haha
Bro I watched this when I was like 5 (I'm 14 now) and I just found it looking through old DVDs
0:04 Home Alone 2 reference.

Apart from the "fantasy" story, this film is essentially a homage to Robert Louis Stevenson.
