THE DIFFERENCES

What changed in this version?

The Casper workprint is a rare pre-release version of the 1995 live-action and computer-animated fantasy film.

According to collector documentation, this version contains additional scenes, extended shots and changes to the order of certain sequences compared with the commercially released DVD.

Although the listed workprint runtime is approximately 97 minutes, collectors describe it as running around two minutes longer than the DVD edition they compared it against. This suggests the versions may have different playback speeds or timing conventions.

The workprint is particularly interesting because Casper was an early landmark in computer-generated character animation, combining live-action performers with fully computer-animated ghost characters.

Differences from the Theatrical Version

  • Additional scenes: The workprint reportedly contains footage absent from the standard release.
  • Extended shots: Certain sequences feature additional footage or alternative editing.
  • Different scene order: Some scenes reportedly appear in a different sequence.
  • Violence: A separate collector listing mentions material involving violence that was removed from the completed film, although the exact scenes are not identified.
  • Alternate editing: The workprint offers an opportunity to study how the film's pacing and structure developed before its theatrical release.
