Trivia

The show was originally proposed as a sequel to the 1995 Casper movie, but due to the film's less-than-stellar box office gross and due to the stars of the 1995 film, Christina Ricci and Bill Pullman, being attached to other projects, the producers abandoned the live-action sequel idea and decided to develop the cartoon instead.

User Reviews

A great show and refreshing too

I really liked the 1995 film, especially for Cathy Moriaty and Casper himself, who is just so cute. I do love the old cartoons as well, but I think this Casper based off the 1995 film is great and a refreshing change. The animation is really quite nice, I liked the atmospheric yet colourful colours and backgrounds and the characters are well-proportioned. The music is memorable too, the story lines are fun and refreshing and the writing amuses and delights. The characters all maintain their likability, Casper is still very cute and the ghostly uncle trio are still hilarious, and it also helps that the voice work is as excellent as it is. Overall, great and refreshing, definitely worth the look, same with the 1995 movie, Casper Meets Wendy and Spirited Beginning in my opinion aren't worth bothering with. 10/10 Bethany Cox
