Casper Meets Wendy is a 1998 direct-to-video film based on the Harvey Comics cartoon characters Casper the Friendly Ghost and Wendy the Good Little Witch. The film is a sequel to Casper: A Spirited Beginning while it being the second prequel/spin-offs to the 1995 film Casper. Haim Saban, best known for creating the Power Rangers, serves as an executive producer for this movie, and his production company, Saban Entertainment, was also involved. This was the first major film for Hilary Duff, who was nearly 11 years old when it film was released on September 22, 1998. It then aired on October 27, 1998, four days before Halloween, on Fox Family.
A mysterious "spaceship" floats over a baseball game, eventually revealed the ghosts Fatso, Stinky and Stretch, The Ghostly Trio, who cause panic in the ballpark. Their nephew Casper, a shy, friendly ghost attemps to settle the agitated crowd, but the people are equally scared of him. The park empties, and Casper's uncles plan a vacation.
Meanwhile, evil warlock Desmond Spellman believes himself the greatest warlock to have existed, until the Oracle tells him that in the future, 10-year-old Wendy the Good Little Witch will be the greatest witch ever. In response, Desmond plans to kill her with the advised "Mystic Abyss". He creates two warlock enforcers: Jules and Vincent, and assigns them to bring Wendy to him.
Wendy is living in the country with her three witch aunts, Gerti, Gabby, and Fanny. Jules and Vincent arrive to abduct Wendy, who narrowly escapes with her aunts. To keep Wendy safe from Desmond, her aunts hide and vacation at a resort hotel, which happens to be the same in which Casper and his uncles are vacationing.
