Trying to remember a film

[probablyoliver]

Okay, I know I'm not going batshit insane here, as I remember this film being one of my favourites as a litt'lun, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, and all my friends are completely drawing a blank from my horrendously brief and somewhat naff description.

All I remember is it was about the little blond boy who went into a library and opened this book, and all the colour came out of the book and it was like a rainbow flood with loads of waves and stuff and then the rest of the film was in cartoon, and I think he was wearing a cape too...

...Yeah...

[SilentBob2004]

Not seen it, but i'm thinking of The Pagemaster, starring Michael Jacksons favourite boy, Macualy Culkin

[HeartlineTwist]

I also can't help but think of The Pagemaster.

[Ghg398]

Yea Pretty sure its PageMaster

[Benji]

Yeah, because it takes three people to say the same thing >_>

[LL!]

BY GAWD IT WAS THE MASTER OF THE PAGE!

[AJ]

Allmusic?

... I mean Pagemaster.

I vaguely remember a pirate book, and some bike riding scenes near the end of the film, and that's it.

[Gazz]

Sounds like a decent acid trip

I feel like hijacking this thread to ask a question that will proberly never get answered.

About 9 years ago i saw a film on Channel 5, late night, and the only scene I can remember is a group of teenagers (the main characters I believe) beating a kid up then hitting him with a skateboard in the face.

Tell me the film, I will make love to you're face*.

I had the book of the Pagemaster. Don't remember there being a film. But there probably was.

[I Don't Mind]

The Pagemaster imbd (with video!)

The Pagemaster wiki

And apparently you can watch the entire movie on youtube in broken up parts. Also one of my favorite movies when I was a child. Scary as hell too!

[DeeJam]

I hella remember this movie. Well, clips of it run through my head. I remember watching it with my sisters on a holiday.

I seem to recall seeing a scene similar to that myself, I think it was in Kids.

I am also hijacking. What's the film with an American Footballer running the ball and then he shoots an opposing player or an opposing player shoots him. They then say 'Life's a bitch' or something similar. I think the next scene after that is some kids surrounding a car with some guy in it and then he wakes up and scares them off.

Reading stuff like this makes me wonder what in the hell people were thinking when they released these films. It's ALMOST as bad and trying to explain Southland Tales.

With that said, I too would like to know what the previous two hijacks (movies, of course) were as I would like to watch both to see what they are about.

I do believe the movie you are referencing is The Last Boyscout. He is running the ball and the game I believe is at night during heavy rain or something like that. A guy on the opposing team pulls a gun out of his pants and shoots him. I seen it once as a kid and that's the ONLY scene I can remember.

Are you sure? I remember that movie as I've seen it quite a few times, non recently though. I remember there being a sniper in the rafters of the stadium, but not a shooter on the field. Maybe I'm wrong here, I can't remember.

[JairusCain]

You know what, I had that little mixed up. The opening scene, he is running the ball and stops, pulls out a gun and shoots the opposing players before dropping to his knees... says "aint life a bitch" and then shoots himself.

starts around 3:40

Your favourite film as a kid SHOULD have been Time Bandits.

You fail.

[DeeJam]

I can't believe I don't remember that scene.
