Casper meets Wendy
Sunday, October 18, 2009
Hilary Duff acting role was as Wendy in the 1998 TV movie “Casper Meets Wendy.” She was 11.
Wendy the Good Little Witch (Hilary Duff) wants to prove herself to her three aunts (Cathy Moriarty, Shelley Duvall, Teri Garr). Little does she know, a dark character named Desmond Spellman(George Hamilton) finds out, from the Oracle (Pauly Shore) that in the future Wendy will be the greatest witch to ever exist, and so he plots to kill the "little molerat". On the run from her nemesis, Wendy runs into the shy, friendly ghost, Casper (Jeremy Foley), who has been violently thrown around by his three uncles Stretch (Jim Ward), Stinky (Bill Farmer) and Fatso (Jess Harnell), The Ghostly Trio. Of course, in the tale, a ghost's worst enemy is a witch, and a witch's worst enemy is a ghost, so Wendy's aunts don't get along with Casper's uncles, and vice-versa. Wendy tells Casper about Desmond and that she and her aunts can't use powerful magic, begging him not to tell anyone about this. Casper accidentally tells the Ghostly Trio, prompting them to attack Wendy and her aunts. Wendy feels she has no choice but to fight the Ghostly Trio and uses a spell to cover the ghosts in plaster. This action is picked up by Desmond's magic tracker. The witches are attacked by Desmond's two warlock enforcers (Richard Moll, Vincent Schiavelli). Before Wendy and her aunts have a chance to escape, Desmond arrives. Desmond tries to cast Wendy into the Mystic Abyss to kill her, but Casper dives in to save her. Her aunts try to fight Desmond but they aren't powerful enough. Before Desmond can throw them in along with Wendy, however, a giant 3-eyed monster pops up and frightens him, causing him to fall into the Abyss instead. The monster turns out to be the Ghostly Trio, whom combined together to defeat Desmond. While the Trio holds the Abyss open, Wendy's aunts pull Casper and Wendy out of the Abyss. The Oracle proclaims that Wendy is the greatest witch because she did something no other witch ever did: she befriended a ghost (Casper). Finally, Wendy, her aunts, Casper, and the Ghostly Trio all bid each other good-bye, but Casper and Wendy reassure each other that they'll be together again, soon.(source:wikipedia)
Continuity: Wendy's aunts take her wand after they realize big magic makes static, afterwards they leave her alone, she picks up her red laptop, and her taken wand is once more in her hands. In the scene where Wendy and her aunts are sitting on the small stairs and Desmund is asking them questions in the hotel room, he changes place all the time. Now, when he's standing at the stairs and talking to them, he changes place again, after one of the aunts has said: "That's none of his business." He then stands behind them. While saying "No matter,", looks at them with only his head turned. In the next shot, his whole body is turned at them. While saying: "You'll soon be out of my hair," the shot changes and he's looking at them with only his head turned again.
