The Pagemaster (1994)

While much of the 1994 film “The Pagemaster,” starring Macaulay Culkin, is animated, the film is bookended by live action sequences. Richard, played by Culkin, lives at this home in Arcadia, California. The home has since been remodeled some, although it was primarily seen in close-ups or side angles from the street in the film.

The Mt. Hollywood Tunnel in Griffith Park is where Richard is seen riding his bike as a storm breaks. The tunnel is just before you reach the famous Griffith Observatory. The same tunnel can be seen in such films as “Back To The Future Part II” and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.”

Thirtysomething

The television drama “Thirtysomething,” which ran from 1987 – 1991, was set in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but actually filmed in Southern California. The exterior for the house of Hope and Michael, played by Mel Harris and Ken Olin, can be found in South Pasadena. The same home appeared in the film “Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael.”
