Especially the computer effects, which at the time were revolutionary, were praised, as well as how Bill Pullman and Christina Ricci played their roles during the scenes that were their characters to see along with the ghosts.
 * The movie would initially contain a scene with Zelda Rubinstein in her role from Poltergeist (1982). This was eventually deleted.
 * This was the first film with a computer drawn character in the title role.
 * The surname "Harvey" of the characters of Christina Ricci and Bill Pullman, is clearly a reference to Harvey Comics, the Publisher of the Casper-strips.
 * There was a planned scene in which the three ghosts explain their problems through a musical number to Dr. Harvey. This should be deleted because the Visual effects for the scene would have cost several million dollars.
 * Caspers uncles had in the comics, published for outcome of this movie no firm names or personalities, with the exception of Fatso. This movie has strongly contributed to how the trio in later Casper-media looks like.
