Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreComing from somebody who mostly enjoyed the Burbank Animation Studios animations, I did enjoy the animated version of The Canterville Ghost. It is not as good as Bubank's versions of The Count of Monte Cristo(their best), White Fang(their best looking), Hansel and Gretel and Hans and the Silver Skates but is infinitely better than D4: The Trojan Dog(their worst), Hercules, Anna and the King and The Little Drummer Boy. The biggest flaw was with the voice acting. A lot of it especially that of the little dog is very cheesy. Some of the character designs also come across as on the crude side, and it does feel a little rushed towards the end. However, most of the animation quality is quite good, colourful with some nice backgrounds. The music is rousing without interfering with the basic tone of the story, while the story itself is haunting and charming and The Canterville Ghost contains some of the better dialogue of Burbank Animation Studios' animations being witty and sweet without it being overdone or cloying. The characters are mostly engaging, especially the titular character. Overall, I found this animated version to be good if not great. 7/10 Bethany Cox
View MoreThis is a classic story in true Oscar Wilde wit and flair. It's both haunting and funny. It's a fairy tale for all ages. In this story a young American girl helps to free the tormented spirit that haunts an old English castle. It's very well written and a beautiful tale for all ages. It's too bad this wasn't the best adaptation.The best adaptation of The Canterville ghost, in my opinion, has to be the version with Patrick Stewart as the ghost, it was made for television in 1996. Though set in the 1990s it's very true to the book. The worst adaptation of the Canterville ghost, in my opinion, is the version set in 1944. It had been turned into blatant war propaganda and was almost unrecognizable, it's plot having nearly nothing at all to do with the original story by Oscar Wilde, which is a true classic.
