Das kleine Schloßgespenst

Okay, I have to admit that had I not had two children that are 5 & 7, that I probably would not have rented this cute little film. We mostly spend out time out on the water surfing, wake-boarding, etc. We very rarely are ever in front of a TV set. However, every so often we will have a day of rest or bad weather, so this was one of those dreary days. We rented this movie for a dollar and we were pleasantly surprised. The scenery was great. the gags and the physical jokes were great. My kids were on the ground rolling and laughing their hearts out when the main man got plastered with the tomatoes. I personally felt that the scenes with the main woman and the main man were also very charming and funny. i wish there were more of these types of movies for families to watch together.

Wonderful time!

The successful and wealthy TV actress Christine (Kristina Wayborn) moves from Los Angeles to a small town in Romania with her son Kevin (Jameson Baltes), her fiancé Tony (James Fitzpatrick) and her assistant Joanne (Laura Bruneau) to buy an old castle and construct a SPA following Tony's advice. Kevin does not like Tony and misses his friends that were left behind, but befriends the castle administrator Pavel (Luc Leestemaker). Soon Kevin encounters the ghost Sofia (Trishalee Hardy), who takes care of the castle that belonged to her family, and they become best friends. They discover that Tony has a love affair with Joanne and they are spending the money of Christine. Further, Sofia is getting weaker and weaker with the destruction of the castle. Now their only hope is to summon Sofia's mother (Sally Kirkland) to help her daughter to save the castle, but the spell is not working. Will Sofia vanish and the castle be totally destructed?

"Little Ghost" is a family entertainment very funny for children (and adults). The story of friendship is predictable but sweet and Jameson Baltes and Trishalee Hardy show a great chemistry and seem to have good-time. The ham villain James Fitzpatrick is silly but also hilarious. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Fantasma de Estimação" ("Pet Ghost")

This lightweight childrens' movie takes place in Romania, where a young boy (Jameson Baltes) unhappily moves to an ancient castle with his mom and no-good stepdad (Kristina Wayborn and James Fitzpatrick), who plan to open a health spa there. Trouble is, the place is haunted, and the cute little ghost (Trishalee Hardy) that the young man befriends has her own reasons for not wanting her home disturbed. This is a movie for the younger kids, without any frightening scenes. Parents and other adults watching it with children may find their minds wandering, though.

This movie is great for everyone to watch it makes you wonder about history ,not frightening but a very friendly movie to watch. A boy is helping his ghost friends mom out so watch the movie and find out if the plan works!

First, I wanna say this film was great. I saw LITTLE GHOST when I was 13 on television, just 10 years ago. I'm from Indonesia and now 23, so it was rare to see this movie. About this movie I never forget the scene between Kevin & Sofia dance together. It's so sweet. Even I forget about the tittle, but I always remember about that scene. Then I founded the tittle 2 days ago. I'm so happy.

Maybe some people will not like it because it "cult" film. The computer graphic are really bad. CASPER (1995) more better than this film who made in 1997. But the story is interesting and good for kids. I really miss this film and I hope I will find this film. In Indonesia maybe difficult to search this film on DVD or VCD. Seems hopeless, but I don't care and I don't give up. One day I will watch this movie again, just be patient. I really envy with you who can rent or watch this movie every time.
