Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Built on a wispy premise better suited to the realm of TV, The Pagemaster plays like a slickly produced afternoon special.

rotten:
Mediocre, really, this mixture of real actors and animation.

rotten:
A pallid film framed at the start and finish by live action and mostly composed of cheap-looking animation.

fresh:
A splendidly original children's fantasy about the world of books.

fresh:
This clever, often engaging, and always fast-paced motion picture uses the visual medium to encourage its viewers to reach out with their imagination.
