i be a cartoon . youre an illustration . what do that suppose to mean . this plot could not be bad a a boy and who afraid of everything and become very brave at the very end of the film because he go into a library . the only purpose of this waste of celluloid be to encourage american kid to read and when a cheap and and more effective way of do this could have be a series of advert . even the talent of macaulay culkin ( a the kid ) and christopher lloyd ( a the so predictable that he a the page master librarian ) and could save this pointless film from the dull plot . even the voice of whoopi goldberg and patrick stewart and ( even ) leonard nimoy and or the hollywood god of voice and frank welker a the cartoon character do not save it ever . i can only describe it a a 1990s equivalent to the even ghastly 1978 adaption of the water baby and because the bland animation make the film worse and not improve the dull plot .
