Casper Meets Wendy

When Casper the Friendly Ghost and his cartoonist uncles accidentally disrupt a witches' convention, they are forced to flee. They end up in a resort town where Casper meets Wendy, a young witch who is also on the run from her own magical aunts who want her to embrace her destiny as a powerful witch. The two outcasts form an unlikely friendship, but their bond is tested when they must work together to save Wendy's aunts and Casper's uncles from a villainous warlock.

Casper Meets Wendy was primarily released as a direct-to-video film and received a mixed to negative reception, largely seen as a children's film with limited appeal beyond its target audience. While some praised its family-friendly nature and the performance of its young lead, others criticized its simplistic plot and humor.
