"Casper Meets Wendy" is a direct-to-video sequel to the 1995 film "Casper". It was released by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment in 1998. It does not appear to be set in the same continuity as the previous film.

Plot

Wendy the Good Little Witch (Hilary Duff) wants to prove herself to her three aunts. Little does she know, a dark character named Desmond Spellman finds out that in the future Wendy will be the greatest witch to ever exist, and so he plots to kill the "little molerat". On the run from her nemesis, Wendy runs into the shy, friendly ghost, Casper, who has been violently thrown around by his three uncles Stretch, Stinky and Fatso, also ghosts. Of course, in the tale, a ghost's best enemy is a witch, and a witch's worst enemy is a ghost, so Wendy's aunts don't get along with Casper's comrades. The film was released with mostly unenthusiastic reviews.
