Talk:The Pagemaster

Trivia

the trivia section mentions Robert Picardo as a member of the cast, however he isn't mentioned anywhere else. Can someone add him/ remove him from either section? Jonomacdrones 19:34, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Before The Pagemaster was a film, it was also an illustrated children's book. Do you think that should be mentioned anywhere?Viewer 07:37, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure. Do you happen to have the book, so you could give a small overview of it? - Redmess 21:05, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

"Macaulay Culkin Like You've Never Seen Him Before!"

Or words to that effect where used in ...something. I recall hearing or possibly reading it, and at the time thinking "Yeah, unless you count Wish Kid!" but nothing I could find on-line turned up the line, or something very similar to it. Am I just imagining the line, or was it used in some of the marketing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.80.115 (talk) 04:49, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Star Trek Trivia What?

It's a surprisingly irrelevant bit of trivia that somehow a great number of the cast also have done something, sometime, for something Star Trek—and a couple for Transformers too! Is this so unusual to The Pagemaster that it warrants mention? Perhaps the next movie I look up will mention that "All cast members have appeared as suspects of victims on some series of Law & Order." Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing that. 50.50.94.250 (talk) 00:36, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Box office error?

Why does the box office data in the infobox say $68,352,926 when Box Office Mojo says the domestic gross is $13,670,688?[1] If that's the foreign box office, is there a source? --Albany NY (talk) 05:42, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

For the record it seems it was vandalism. I was trying to figure out where the article went from listing the budget as $21 million (without any source) to $27 million (again without any apparent source). -- 109.79.92.109 (talk) 19:49, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

For years the Infobox claimed the budget was $21 million. An edit later "corrected" the budget to $27 million, or least made it match the figure claimed in the article body, but unfortunately the reference used was IMDB, and it is still the only reference available despite IMDB not being a Reliable Source.

As of 2019 IMDB lists the budget as $27 million and the US Domestic gross as $58 million (quite a difference from the $68,352,926 mentioned above).

Variety magazine often has budget information for films, and I was able to find an article that said the film distribution rights sold for $35 million at the American Film Market, but it doesn't mention what the original production costs actually were. Eventually found an older article from '93 estimating the budget at $33 million. The production section already mentions the high cost of traditional animation and how the film went overbudget, so I guess Variety saying $33 million is more reliable than IMDB. -- 109.76.225.8 (talk) 04:49, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Deleted/Extended Scenes section

This section is, in my opinion, very poorly written (as if it were from someone who has English as a second language.) In addition, there are no references for that section.98.162.209.39 (talk) 14:19, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Definitely. I don't really know how to use Wikipedia other than for simple edits, but is there a way to mark that section as poorly written and lacking citations? I'd edit it myself but I don't have enough information about the subject to do so. As it is, it doesn't make enough sense to be useful. Clonkex (talk) 00:47, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Is this based on a book or not?

I tagged the article as being contradictory. Exactly as this section says on the tin. Well? Zeke, the Mad Horrorist ^{(Speak quickly)} _{(Follow my trail)} 07:12, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

According to Amazon, the book attributed to Todd Strasser is actually a book made from the movie. This is not a typical adaptation. The screenplay for the movie was written before any books were published. AmandaonFiction (talk) 16:04, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Hanna-Barbera's involvement

I apparently noticed in the film's article that Hanna-Barbera is listed as one of its production companies per an AFI source. This is apparently false, as Turner Feature Animation was actually responsible for handling the animated portions of the film. Additionally, the production section also deliberately states that TFA was actually spun-off from HB, further contradicting what the source and the opening paragraph say. Are there any other sources that properly credit Turner as one of the companies involved? IceWalrus236 (talk) 05:52, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
