With a title like The Pagemaster its hard to believe any children saw this movie: it sounds like a movie about a librarian, which it sort of is, but in a fun way if you can believe that. Im betting the only reason I picked this up is because there was a dragon on the cover, and what 5 year old boy can say no to a movie with a dragon in it? Not me, that's for sure. If you were one of the lucky few who managed to get past the stigma of the title and actually saw this movie you were treated to an adventure story that spanned genres, literature, and film mediums. Macaulay Culkin plays what is essentially a human child version of C3PO: a kid scared of the world who sites accident statistics as excuses not to be adventurous. One day he gets caught in a thunderstorm on his bike and seeks shelter in the nearby library, of which Christopher Lloyd is the librarian. By some enchantment, probably related to the crazy magic from The Last Action Hero, Culkin is turned into a cartoon and stuck in an animated version of the library. The only way he can escape is to travel through three separate stories to reach the library exit. As he travels he gains some book-shaped companions; including Whoopi Goldberg as Fantasy, and Patrick Stewart as Adventure: a mustachioed, peg-legged, hook-handed pirate-book. The reason The Pagemaster sits on this list is because, in addition to Adventure and Fantasy, Culkin has to travel through the Horror genre, and the story he traverses is Jekyll and Hyde. I re-watched this film a few years ago and was surprised to see how frightening this scene really is; the moment Dr. Jekyll (Leonard Nimoy) turns into Mr. Hyde is truly horrific.
