The Pagemaster follows the life of an over-cautious boy, Richard Tyler (Macaulay Culkin), who buries himself in statistics, only to have his courage put to the test after getting sucked into an animated world of mystical literature. Richard must then learn to cast his statistics aside if he’s going to survive his encounters with some of the scarier aspects of fictional history.
