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!”
@@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
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
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.
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🌹❤️
@@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!
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
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.
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!" ✨😭❤✨
Oh really this is news to me because the Bill Pullman I saw gave awesome performances in League of Their Own Independence Day and so on so what the f*** are you talkin about?
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.
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.
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. 😢
3:32 his little voice "can i keep you" wow he used to be my big crush when I was little. Times flies so quick right now and i missed it 🥺❤ 3:41 his smile just adorable ♡
he is still my favorite long time celeb crush. i was 13 when seeing the movie in drive in and i knew he had a role in the movie which i was totally waiting for.
@@SusanaCanales1 Every decade has had its challenges, and I agree, it wasn't the perfect time for everybody... But, I do believe that our compassion and kindness as a society since then has worsened with perhaps the immediate post 9/11 era as the exception.
@@JesusGomez-ob2qt For my money’s worth it’s on up there. I was a 12 year old shy hopeless romantic when this came out and I guess it just hit me at the right time back then. I’m generally not into romantic comedies or anything like that and I get that this is just a kid’s movie but it just stuck with me from a young age.
@@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.
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
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!
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
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
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....
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.
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 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!
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! ❤
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
😂 I remember bringing this movie to my 4th grade class during our Halloween bash and when it came to this part the girls went crazy swooning over human Casper and in the end everyone clapped
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.
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
It doesn't matter if Casper's human or not. I mean yes I also wished he stayed human, but he's cute as a ghost. And he'll always be human in his heart and to anyone, like me, who thinks that, too.
Wow, this brought me back to a time I miss. Film now is just not the same. I know every generation says this but there is this magic in film that has been lost. It's the little moments like this scene and how subtle they were. The intimacy of these moments when we watched them back in the day before internet and social media. Not knowing what they ment to other people but just our own experiences made them special. Life and what it produced was way more subtle, more mysterious, more intriguing back then. Don't get me wrong it is awesome to connect with so many so easily but we definitely gained something at a sacrifice of something else...something that possibly was more important?

It's amazing that the first thing she expects him to say is that your cat's mom, and the second thing she expects him to say is that you're an angel. She knew how important her daughter was to this ghostly little boy...
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.😢
Doesn’t matter how cheesy this movie is or how many times I watch it, it literally makes me cry every time. Love this movie 🖤 I was that weird kid who had a crush on human Casper and the little vampire.
I get that. It can be, particularly through Escapism which can be a wonderful thing. However, it can also be a drug, which I have experienced in many times in my life. You just gotta have a balance.
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
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❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
Casper finally has temporary gotten to be alive to be with Kat, and then, he showed how he loved her by kiss her before he transforms back into a ghost
I saw this movie this past Sunday. It’s been so long I honestly can’t remember how old I was or when was the last time I saw this movie. This scene almost got me into tears just because how sad it was to see him dance for alittle bit and it would’ve been nice to see him be brought back to life and have a second chance to live a normal life but sadly that didn’t happen.
This is exactly how I instantly felt about my own real life Casper. Someday soon he won’t be a ghost, he’ll be mine and he’s going to ask me the very same thing, “Can I keep you.” I already know he’s a hunk and an excellent kisser. 😉 and a good dancer... he made me feel just like I was floating just like the two of them, in his living room once. 💕
I remember wearing out our old VHS tape of this because I played it multiple times a day during October. It was my favorite Halloween movie next to Nightmare Before Christmas. God I miss the 90s.
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!”

" I told you I was a good dancer " I must admit I've used that line quite a few times myself 🤣
Oh my gosh this takes me back. Simpler times. Wow
Same
Before swine flu?
Yup, this is before The COVID-19, though.
😂 I remember bringing this movie to my 4th grade class during our Halloween bash and when it came to this part the girls went crazy swooning over human Casper and in the end everyone clapped
We weren't allowed to watch this movie at school because someone said the word "bitch" once.
@@thefractured_butwhole And then you say, "Bitch Please!" Lol.
James Horners score is so beautiful.
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.
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
Growing up watching this each October, I always thought Kat's mother was absolutely WOW! No wonder Dr. Harvey was obssesed searching for her😌😆😆
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.
Casper should've stayed human throughout the rest of the film. It was nice while it lasted. 😭
Blame Dr Harvey it's his fault
Casper gave up the chance to be human so James could be reunited with cat
Right but it was like a Cinderella moment
It doesn't matter if Casper's human or not. I mean yes I also wished he stayed human, but he's cute as a ghost. And he'll always be human in his heart and to anyone, like me, who thinks that, too.
"*chuckle* I told you I was a good dancer. Can I keep you..?"
This song gets me right in the feels.
The 90s was the peak decade for entertaining, wholesome movies anyone could enjoy. I wish we had a revival of this.
I can’t make it through this scene without crying 🥺😭
This scene makes me cry cause after so long he finally found his wife 😢
I love how hauntingly beautiful the music is
Wow, this brought me back to a time I miss. Film now is just not the same. I know every generation says this but there is this magic in film that has been lost. It's the little moments like this scene and how subtle they were. The intimacy of these moments when we watched them back in the day before internet and social media. Not knowing what they ment to other people but just our own experiences made them special. Life and what it produced was way more subtle, more mysterious, more intriguing back then. Don't get me wrong it is awesome to connect with so many so easily but we definitely gained something at a sacrifice of something else...something that possibly was more important?
Really love this movie and this scene. Wish Casper would make a return outside of a Geico commercial
Me: *At the end when Casper is a ghost again*
Dude! How can anyone be scared of an adorable friendly ghost?!
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)

@@daniellebrunet5482 Oh. I thought she meant profile picture. Don't understand why people say crazy things like this in the comment section.
It's amazing that the first thing she expects him to say is that your cat's mom, and the second thing she expects him to say is that you're an angel. She knew how important her daughter was to this ghostly little boy...
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.😢
This is one of those kids movies where the serious dramatic moments are fantastic and the comedy just kinda feels tacked on.
Be that as it may, the shift from tear-jerking drama back to comedy towards the end of the video? PERFECT.
Doesn’t matter how cheesy this movie is or how many times I watch it, it literally makes me cry every time. Love this movie 🖤 I was that weird kid who had a crush on human Casper and the little vampire.
Why can’t life be like a good romance movie for all of us 😩
Shit I know all loves and Hugs not cheating 1 on 1
Well, lots of romance in movies, like this one, includes a horrible tragedy. In this case, two.
I get that. It can be, particularly through Escapism which can be a wonderful thing. However, it can also be a drug, which I have experienced in many times in my life. You just gotta have a balance.
Cuz then life wouldn’t be life. Life would be fake.
@@cheothegeo2742 I think they mean that if real life was like a movie, meaning it was real.
The boy still young but his facial features out of this world 😍
Yeah, Casper is only 12 but it's obvious that pretty 16 year old girl Kat thinks he's the most incredibly good looking kid she has ever seen ❤
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
The end where the movie pays tribute to all those times everyone ran from Casper in rather absurdly hillarious fashion
Man I wish I could be a kid again. This scene just gave me a big nostalgia rush.
This scene makes me blush 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❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
1:07 Casper must be happy to know his father is very proud of him like everyone of us who lost a parent would like to know. 😢
Casper finally has temporary gotten to be alive to be with Kat, and then, he showed how he loved her by kiss her before he transforms back into a ghost
It breaks my heart when he says “I thought I’d have a hundred things to say when I . . . . “
For a kids movie it had such powerful moments in it
my favorite scene from Casper 😭 so beautiful and bittersweet
I saw this movie this past Sunday. It’s been so long I honestly can’t remember how old I was or when was the last time I saw this movie. This scene almost got me into tears just because how sad it was to see him dance for alittle bit and it would’ve been nice to see him be brought back to life and have a second chance to live a normal life but sadly that didn’t happen.
Omg I love this scene when human Casper said "can I keep you" I was like DUh 😭💞 if I was they're I would faint
This is exactly how I instantly felt about my own real life Casper. Someday soon he won’t be a ghost, he’ll be mine and he’s going to ask me the very same thing, “Can I keep you.”
I already know he’s a hunk and an excellent kisser. 😉 and a good dancer... he made me feel just like I was floating just like the two of them, in his living room once. 💕
The music is so soothing
I grew up with the Casper cartoons and this movie is awesome. Now I have to go find who's cutting onions.
I remember wearing out our old VHS tape of this because I played it multiple times a day during October. It was my favorite Halloween movie next to Nightmare Before Christmas. God I miss the 90s.
“Can I keep you”
Uhhh YEAH
