Is Casper Meets Wendy starring Hilary Duff on Netflix? (where to watch)

When Hilary Duff was 10 years old, she landed her first movie role in 1998’s Casper Meets Wendy, a spin-off prequel to the 1995 movie Casper and a sequel to the 1997 movie Casper: A Spirited Beginning. Duff hadn’t yet made her Disney Channel debut as Lizzie McGuire or sold millions of albums as a teen pop-rock sensation.

In October 2023, the original Casper movie from 1995 starring Christina Ricci arrived on Netflix and quickly made its way into the top 10 in the spirit of spooky season. Naturally, the drop of the classic ’90s movie on Netflix made fans wonder where to watch Hilary Duff’s starring role alongside the famously friendly ghost.

Is Casper Meets Wendy currently available to watch on Netflix right now? We’re sharing where fans can catch Duff’s first film role!

Where to watch Casper Meets Wendy

Unfortunately, the movie isn’t currently available to stream on Netflix, and it doesn’t appear to be available to watch on any major streaming service. While we hope that the movie will become available to officially stream soon, the movie has also become unofficially available to stream on YouTube.

In Casper Meets Wendy, Hilary Duff plays the titular Wendy, a little girl who’s a good but chaos-inclined witch. When Wendy’s family bump heads with a warlock, they moved to a resort for the supernatural, where Wendy meets Casper. Together, they team up to take down the scheming warlock once and for all. Apart from Duff, the cast also includes:

• Cathy Moriarty as Gert
• Shelley Duvall as Gabby
• Teri Garr as Fanny
• Jeremy Foley as Casper the Friendly Ghost
• George Hamilton as Desmond Spellman
• Richard Moll as Jules
• Vincent Schiavelli as Vincent
• Pauly Shore as The Oracle
• Blake Foster as Josh Jackman
• Logan Robbins as Logan
• Michael McDonald as Spike-Stretch
• Travis McKenna as Phil-Fatso
• Patrick Richwood as Vinne-Stinkie

From the set of the movie, Duff conducted her first interview with Entertainment Tonight, and she’s just so adorable! She explains the movie and the behind-the-scenes of all the special effects. It’s so cute to hear her childlike perspective on the movie’s filmmaking, which also entails her saying Casper felt real to her. You can also see the resemblance to her three children Luca, Banks, and Mae. Watch the heart-melting interview in the video below!

In 2019, Duff appeared on Entertainment Tonight again and reacted to her first interview at 10 years old. Watching the younger version of herself be so excited to be living her dreams made her emotional, as did reflecting on what that little girl was soon able to accomplish, including but not limited to more movies, music, television, businesses, and eventually becoming a mother.

We love to see somehow as talented, humble, and just all-around kind as Hilary Duff succeed. Most recently, Duff starred in the Hulu comedy series How I Met Your Father, which was a standalone sequel of How I Met Your Mother. The series was canceled after two seasons, but she will surely be back with her next project sooner rather than later!
