    Nice story...

    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.

    A film made on a "little" budget which is still great big fun!

    Kevin is one sad 12 year old. First, his actress mother has a new boyfriend, who the young lad doesn't like. Then, he has to leave his home, his friends, and such comforts as "fast food joints" and follow his mama to the European country of Sylvania. That's where an old castle is going to be turned into a "spa" by mommy and beau. Also making the trip is an assistant to the couple, a woman who may have eyes on the "boyfriend", too. When they get to the castle, Kevin is utterly bored until, lo and behold, a ghost appears. Its the spirit of a little girl from the Middle Ages and she is haunting the place in hopes of scaring visitors away, for she doesn't want the building to change. At first, Kev is a bit afraid, as she pops in and out at whim. But, soon, they are fast friends. As Kevin tells her more about his mom's suitor and the man himself has plans to knock down precious parts of the castle and grounds, the little ghost helps upset the venture. One day, she wraps a garden hose around the beau, which acts like a cobra and spits water into the man's face. Now, that's entertainment! Another time, vegetables and fruits are thrown at the gentleman, covering him in juice. Will Kevin and the ghost succeed in driving everyone back to the States? This fun family flick was made on a budget but still has plenty of great big fun for all. There are no known actors, except Sally Kirkland in a brief role. But, the castle and gardens are very beautiful and the magical antics will make the audience laugh. So, fork over a little money and find Little Ghost. Your family will like it.

    Kind of Hokey but cute! ~!

    Literally a kids film I'm 20 and i thought its cute and would be great to put on for the kids who just want a cute movie to enjoy. The to kids are probably do the best acting in the movie. Good story line and great filming location. I just wish though that they would of have a little better acting for the adults and less cheese. Definitely less cheese. It was pretty funny though but it was also your typical storyline is guy is in love with the best friend but Spiritual Advisor now that was originial and i don't mean that sarcastically. My mom picked this up cause she thought it looked cute and it did this is a baby-sitter movie or a family movie. Recommended for the baby-sitter in a rush or doesn't know what else to get! ~!

    woow!

    Just wow! I was tricked to watch this movie because of its high IMDb rating, nothing more. I reckon one-sentence positive reviews of the movie doesn't help anyone, so i decided to write a review to balance things out and give a fair warning to the possible viewers (assuming you can find this somewhere on the internet or cable).

    Simply this is a TV movie with low budget, bad acting, cheap effects, poor scriptwriting and childish dialogue (plus the narrative). There is nothing interesting, original or crafty in it. It falls short in many levels, even considering the target group is 4-6 age group.

    The reason behind the higher rating is presumably the accumulated voting from people who watched this piece of crap when they were kids. I can see why someone would like certain types of movies when they are young, but this doesn't justify a 10 voting.

    I understand IMDb is more of a popularity contest rather than a film critic website, but it sometimes misleads people into watching low quality movies such as this one. I would suggest you watch this film (in youtube maybe?) and give it a fair vote to set things straight.
