The Canterville Ghost

Coming from somebody who mostly enjoyed the Burbank Animation Studios animations, I did enjoy the animated version of The Canterville Ghost. It is not as good as Bubank's versions of The Count of Monte Cristo(their best), White Fang(their best looking), Hansel and Gretel and Hans and the Silver Skates but is infinitely better than D4: The Trojan Dog(their worst), Hercules, Anna and the King and The Little Drummer Boy. The biggest flaw was with the voice acting. A lot of it especially that of the little dog is very cheesy. Some of the character designs also come across as on the crude side, and it does feel a little rushed towards the end. However, most of the animation quality is quite good, colourful with some nice backgrounds. The music is rousing without interfering with the basic tone of the story, while the story itself is haunting and charming and The Canterville Ghost contains some of the better dialogue of Burbank Animation Studios' animations being witty and sweet without it being overdone or cloying. The characters are mostly engaging, especially the titular character. Overall, I found this animated version to be good if not great. 7/10 Bethany Cox

I have never seen any of the other movies in this franchise, considering the fact that I just learned that The Canterville Ghost isn't originally from thus movie.

This movie is such ass it's amazing. It's so eerie, with the lack of backtrack in majority of the film, the art and the overall concept. I remember being so scared of the first scenes in the movie, don't recommend this for young children. It's a movie that you can enjoy as a teen or older, being funny because of how low budget it can come across as, but also because of the mystical vibe it has.

Love this movie with all my heart, it helped me develop a love for less conventional stories.

This is a classic story in true Oscar Wilde wit and flair. It's both haunting and funny. It's a fairy tale for all ages. In this story a young American girl helps to free the tormented spirit that haunts an old English castle. It's very well written and a beautiful tale for all ages. It's too bad this wasn't the best adaptation.

The best adaptation of The Canterville ghost, in my opinion, has to be the version with Patrick Stewart as the ghost, it was made for television in 1996. Though set in the 1990s it's very true to the book. The worst adaptation of the Canterville ghost, in my opinion, is the version set in 1944. It had been turned into blatant war propaganda and was almost unrecognizable, it's plot having nearly nothing at all to do with the original story by Oscar Wilde, which is a true classic.
