Many children began their love of literature due to this film. Way before Potter was the Pagemaster!

This was a joy to work on. I did hand-drawn effects. (Fantasy's pixie dust, fire, etc.)

I LOVE this movie. It's one of the main reasons why I got into reading.

Remember riding my bicycle to the VHS shop every Friday. Rented mostly kids' movies, but it became my happy place when I grew older, too. There was just something about holding a tape in your hands with the excitement that comes with a whole new adventure that got me so hyped up. Online shows have never lived up to that physical embodiment of excitement.

Patrick Stewart said it the best and Christopher is a national treasure, everything he does is always compelling, interesting, and thought provoking

The fade from the animated Pagemaster to the live action Mr Dewey smiling with the line "that's just what can happen" playing at 1:24 is etched in my memory forever. It warms my heart.

Mr. Hyde absolutely scared the hell out of me as a kid.

It was this movie that made me addicted to books today.

this movie was my childhood

For some reason I only saw this once as a child. Now I woke up at 3am and for some reason this came to my mind and I had to Google the name first to get here. Seems even better than I remembered!

To this day I never knew that Patrick Stewart voiced Adventure! Mind absolutely blown! I kinda figured Fantasy was voiced by whoopi!

This movie is shamefully underrated!

I noticed this movie has a lot of Star Trek veterans. Christopher Lloyd, Patrick Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg, Frank Welker, Ed Begley Jr., and of course the legendary Leonard Nimoy.

This movie made me have an obsession with libraries. I didn’t like reading, but I liked writing lol weird I know… but this movie really affected me as a kid and I feel a lot of nostalgia now as a 24 year old adult.

The voice cast was made of pure talent. And the animators obviously put their heart and soul into the drawings. But every project needs to start with a solid story inside a clever script. Without that foundation, it's all just empty noise.

I love Christopher Lloyd’s charisma

Movies today lack this type of imagination. The fact that a film paid homage to books could never work today, we are so lost in our screens. What an amazing film.

Soundtrack was awesome!

I hope that "The Pagemaster (1994)" will be released soon on Disney+ in the United States!!! Because I believe that Disney had been acquired on 20th Century Studios, instead of licensing on Warner Bros. Discovery!!! And that was awesome!!! And even, all unreleased scenes, footage, alternate scenes and deleted scenes for this film from all trailers, home video releases, commerical and TV Spots, must be put them back together!!!

Amazing seeing 2 of the people from Star Trek the next Generation and the voice of Abu in Aladdin.

From the VHS preview to pirate ship escape, I have many unforgettable memories with this fun and message filled knowledgable adventure. Stay safe everyone!

Fun fact: Whoopie Goldberg was also Shenzi, one of the hyenas from The Lion King and The Lion King 1½.

Thank goodness this video has been reuploaded. I was so upset when youtube took it down

They did a wonderful job with that cgi, and I am very glad they did not eschew it in disfavor and loathing like so many today. They wanted to integrate animation to live action and did so wonderfully and beautifully. I always wondered how they even managed to capture that effect back in the old days. Christopher Loyd does a great job as the Pagemaster and Mr. Dewey. I am sad this movie did not receive the praise it deserved back in the day, partly due to child actor prejudice, seemingly bad marketing, and critics who thought it was a con job deceiving kids to enjoy the Art of Story through the medium of books. I dare say, that like the transition from live action, through cgi, to live animation, they missed the Magic of Imagination and Beauty of another World in which we Escape...That which is always called Story...

Christopher Lloyd is the host of the making of The Pagemaster . He was a great actor who had been movies such as Back to the Future franchise, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Anastasia.

I miss 90s

I’m so sad more people don’t know about this movie, this was a treasure for me as a kid💖

This movie is what inspired my crazy jackass bravery when I saw it as a kid. Now 40 years old and I feel dried out and completely drained. What good memories from my childhood when I had the energy. I used to mimic the dragon sequence as Richard Tyler with my friends as the books climbing trees pretending I was riding up the growing vine from the dragon's mouth. Despite being a heavily masculine middle aged man, I'm sorry a little moist in the eyes. Thanks for the video post!

Seeing this Making Of as a kid, I was impressed, that it's possible to bring something to life - just by drawings.... And so my ambition for drawing and character design began back then ^^

thank you for uploading this I just introduced my 4 yr old to this movie.. he couldn't look away! loved this movie as a kid and to see the making of after ALL these years is so heart warming.

30 years later lloyd is still alive. he looks old af here. amazing.

I actually went to see this in theaters. I loved it as a kid. I own the DVD but it'll never compare to the original vhs, of the 90s.

i remember thinking how this film was very well done. I mean from the score to the animation and the overall flow of it and its characters. I own this film and I really love the blueray verson they released of it they did,I loved Christopher Loyd and Macaulay culkin and all the actors that did the parts of the books as well. they were so fantastic and just the tone of this film was very well done takes me back to a simpler time in life. This was an awesome video to see the making of was a real treat thank you.

I can imagine Sir Patrick Stewart and Whoopi Goldberg having a blast with the recording sessions, considering their friendship. I wish there'd be some bloopers we could see of the cast in the recording booths, if they messed up or goofed off. Would be so awesome.

It’s a shame that it’s not popular and it’s not on Disney Plus

9:49, he’s right I also love animation too. I also believe animation is amazing with it’s music, style, characters and colors.

i love this as a kid

I didn't know there was an African-American animator who took part into making this impressive animated movie. I thought like most cartoons were mostly done by white animators alone.

Christopher Lloyd, who portrayed the librarian as well as the title character of the Pagemaster, also played Klingon Commander Kruge in the 3rd Star Trek Original Series movie The Search for Spock (directed by late series veteran Leonard Nimoy) 10 years earlier in 1984.

Thank you for uploading this!

The dragon paint animation is absolutely gorgeous

I love books can’t get enough of it

i loved this movie so much

thanks for the video i been looking for this video like forever

Happy 30th Anniversary To The Pagemaster (1994-2024)

I first saw this movie on VHS and it was for some reason on a VHS that had the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on it

This movie is it good movie even though it's short and it wasn't a box office hit. I'm 35 years old born 1987 and I still like this even though all this movie was in a box office hit is still a classic. Just maybe they'll remake it

Leonard Nimoy and Christopher Lloyd here would later be the voices of Master Xehanort.

The Pagemaster

Perfect movie time for a remake with Macaulay Culkin as the libarain👍

Adventure : Professor X/ Charles Xavier Fantasy : Shenzi Horror : Abu

I also remembered that the movies Angels in the Outfield and The Lion King came out in the same year which was 1994.

The tears 😭

Nice! : ) Mr. Macaualay Culkin's second animation role! : )

I remember this movie and the 2 people that were in the movies Angels in the Outfield and Home Alone.

i didn't know frank welker was that young i was 2 years old i was born on november ninth 1993

I'm very happy that I love literature. I just wish that there were more libraries like this one I even miss the library I used to go to back in Wake Tech. I find any good bit of literature to read and even as of this moment I'm trying to write a book for DC Comics and its purpose is to show the world that a simple human being has superpowers such as faith and love and Hope. A basic Superman who is Hope can give him the ability to fly. It is my great privilege to present despite still in writing it is my great privilege to present to everybody who is a fan of DC Comics I give to you the kamandi paradox as dedication to a Jack Kirby Classic and how much I would love to dedicate this not only to Christopher Reeve and Kevin Conroy but I would love to dedicate to a very special Elder in my family who is no longer in my family because she passed away I wish with the most sincere honesty to dedicate this to my grandmother. As soon as I find a publishing agency that is connected to DC Comics and it captures audiences around the United States I would love you very much to present a copy of my book to my fellow KZfaq channelers until then I shall be writing. God bless you all.

Music:James Horner(1994)

I've been looking for this for yonks! Cheers!

This was a big surprise world wide and DVD VHS

10:35 I distinctly heard “The Land Before Time” was mentioned just before the few animated Disney features.

I don't think I've ever seen The Pagemaster. I don't recall watching it as a kid.

2:45 I love that look on Christopher Lloyd’s face

I never knew Bruce Wayne Smith worked on this.

Bruce Smith is the creator of The Proud Family!!

My youngest brother's name is Christopher Lloyd ♡ not saying our last name. Lloyd was my grandfather's name from my dad's side and my mom picked Christopher..soo Christopher Lloyd. ♡

macaulay culkin looks like a teenager in this movie

7:43 Ah! 7:44 Macaulay Culkin is the third of seven children in the Culkin family, 7:51 he is the one who portrayed a young boy named Kevin McCallister who had started to make amends of beginning into an indepedent life in both Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992).

19:53 Those guys are in the Library

The film’s director Joe Johnston was so unpleasant with making this movie that he omits it from him resume.

The Dragon is very scary when he breaths smoke and fire

12:20, I'm reminded a lot of the trailer of the movie at the beginning of the Once Upon A Forest VHS. Only during the Once Upon A Forest VHS trailer of this movie, they show Macauley yelling into the mic from a different angle
