This was the first major film for Hilary Duff, who was 10 years old when the film was released on September 22, 1998, six days before her 11th birthday. The film also marks the second Casper film to co-star Cathy Moriarty, who previously starred as the main antagonist in the 1995 film.
The film was met with mostly negative reviews from critics, but was considered an improvement to its predecessor. Its television premiere was October 24, 1999 on Fox Family.
