I remember watching this short as a kid (as I had it on a VHS tape which had three other cartoons, one being another Casper short, and the other two being cartoons with other characters). Yes, Casper the Friendly Ghost actually existed in the 1940's, as this was back before Harvey Comics purchased the character, and therefore, is back when Famous Studios (formerly Fleischer Studios) owned the character.
Basically, this short is the second of fifty-five Casper shorts, and part of the Noveltoon series, There's Good Boos To-Night has Casper going out to make a friend. Not wanting to join his neighbors in scaring the daylights out of people, Casper goes to make a friend, eventually making a friend with a fox he named Ferdie, who comes to comfort him after he fails to make friends with a calf and a skunk. However, a hunter poses a threat.
Yeah, this is one I remember a lot, mainly because of its plot, as it is a story of a ghost and his fox friend. The story is a good one, despite the sad twist of what happens to Ferdie, but the ending turns it around and teaches a good moral: friendship is forever, not ending at death.
