This movie took almost three and a half years to complete.
Whoopi Goldberg and Sir Patrick Stewart recorded their dialogue together.
Locations in this movie's fantastical "book world" are primarily based on three novels, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson, for the segment set in Horror, and "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville and "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, for the segment set in Adventure. The segment set in Fantasy uses various fairy tale tropes, but also the Queen of Hearts (shouting the famous line, "Off with their heads!") from "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, and the beanstalk from "Jack and the Beanstalk". Some of the other books seen or used in this movie are "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (the hound has a cameo in the movie when it jumps out of the book), "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne (the giant squid is chosen by Adventure) and the Middle Eastern fairy tale collection "One Thousand and One Nights" (Fantasy summons the flying Magic Carpet from it). Also, the character of Horror (the anthropomorphic book) resembles Quasimodo, the tragic protagonist of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" by Victor Hugo.
Christopher Lloyd's character, Mr. Dewey, is named after the Dewey Decimal System, a system of organizing books in a library. He also resembles Charles Dickens.
Frankenstein's Monster does not appear in the final cut, but is seen in the sneak peeks, trailers, and television spots for the theatrical and home entertainment releases around the world from 1993 to 1995. It also appeared in deleted scenes, behind the scenes, and video games.
"Richard Tyler: Hey! How'd you get here? Fantasy: Quit it! We are in the presence of the Pagemaster. Richard Tyler: I *know* who he is. He's the guy who did all THIS to me! Do you have any idea what I've been through? The Pagemaster: Tell me. Richard Tyler: I was nearly torn to shreds by a crazy doctor, I was made a slave to a bunch of mangy pirates, and eaten. Got that? Eaten by a fire-breathing dragon! Horror: He don't mean it, my Pagemaster. He don't mean it. Richard Tyler: Not to mention being tossed, squashed, and scared practically to death! The Pagemaster: Yet you stand before me. Richard Tyler: Well, yeah. The Pagemaster: Think, boy. What kind of an adventure would you have had if I brought you here with the turn of a page?"
"Mr. Dewey: Welcome to the library, young man. Don't tell me. You're here for a special book. Richard Tyler: Mister... Mr. Dewey: Stop stop stop. Allow me to guess. I have a talent for guessing what people need. You're in need of a fantasy! Brave knights, mythical fairies, ferocious dragons! Richard Tyler: Look, all I want is... Mr. Dewey: Adventure! Of course! You're a boy who loves adventure, brimming with wicked demons, cutthroat pirates. Richard Tyler: No, no, that's not it. Mr. Dewey: Horror! Oh, horror! Evil demons, wicked monsters, haunted houses, graveyards. Yes, it's horror for you, boy. I'm sure of it. Your library card, please. Richard Tyler: I don't have one. Mr. Dewey: [pulls out a brand new one] You do now. Sign here. [Richard signs the card] Mr. Dewey: Richard Tyler, consider this your passport to the wonderful and quite unpredictable world of books. Richard Tyler: But I don't want any books. Mr. Dewey: Hmm? Richard Tyler: That's what I've been trying to tell you. I only came in here 'cause of the storm. Mr. Dewey: You mean you don't need...? [Richard shakes his head] Mr. Dewey: [disappointed] Oh, I see."
