Casper (2025) brings the beloved ghost from childhood back to the big screen, reimagining the classic tale of the friendly ghost for a new generation. Directed by Tim Burton, the film takes a darker, more whimsical turn, giving the familiar character of Casper a fresh twist while still maintaining the charm that made the original a family favorite.

Set in a modern-day small town, the movie opens with the story of a young girl named Lily, who moves into an old, abandoned mansion with her family. The mansion, known for its spooky reputation, holds secrets and ghostly legends. Little does Lily know, the mansion’s most famous resident is none other than Casper, the ghost who has been haunting it for years, searching for peace after a tragic past.

Casper, voiced by Timothée Chalamet, has evolved from the innocent, slightly mischievous ghost of the original film into a more complex, introspective character. His journey throughout the film is one of self-discovery, as he tries to reconcile with his ghostly existence and help Lily solve the mystery surrounding the mansion. Chalamet brings a perfect blend of charm and vulnerability to Casper, creating a character who is both relatable and endearing.

Lily, played by Millie Bobby Brown, brings a modern, adventurous energy to the film. She’s not afraid of the supernatural and forms an unlikely friendship with Casper, determined to uncover the secrets of the mansion. The chemistry between her and Casper feels genuine, providing a heartwarming core to the film. Together, they uncover long-buried mysteries, face off against malevolent spirits, and ultimately try to help Casper find peace so he can move on from the world of the living.
