Trivia
Cathy Moriarty, who plays Wendy's aunt Gert in this film, originally played the role of villainess Carrigan in Casper (1995).

Goofs
During the chaos at the ballpark caused by Casper's uncles, all the hot dogs in buns that fall off the hot dog cart and the ones that fall on the members of the running crowd are still raw. They are still slender and "square-shaped" from just coming out of the package. Cooked hot dogs have a plumper, "more round" shape. Note: the CG hot dogs that fall out of Fatso's belly, as he flies overhead, have the correct shape.

Quotes
Wendy: If my aunts find out I'm friends with a ghost, they'll throw a witchy fit and I won't get to see you any more.
Voice of Casper: And my uncles say no self-respecting ghost would talk to a nasty, snaggle-toothed, wart-ridden, hagged out...
Wendy: Hey!
Voice of Casper: Sorry.

Crazy credits
The Saban logo, shown before the film and after the end credits, has a group of happy little kids

Alternate versions
On the Region 1 DVD from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, the vocals of the song "Casper the Friendly Ghost" during the opening credits are removed from the English audio track, but are retained in the French and Spanish audio tracks - in the original English!

Nice movie

Nice children's movie. Fun and full of good feelings. A little cheesy but in line with the character of Casper, the child ghost that everyone loves.

Definitely simpler than the original 1995 film and with much lighter themes.
