Casper è un film del 1995 diretto da Brad Silberling, basato sul personaggio omonimo protagonista di cartoni animati e fumetti. Il film fece ampio uso della computer-generated imagery per ricreare i fantasmi, e fu uno dei primi lungometraggi di sempre ad avere come protagonista un personaggio realizzato interamente in CGI.
