Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

shempzine This is the type of crappy cartoon you'd find running on some UHF station in the '80s. Someone at Filmation realized that they had a short-lived live-action TV series called "The Ghost Busters" that barely lasted a season in '75-'76. It starred Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch. After the success of GHOSTBUSTERS, Filmation sued Columbia for copyright infringement and (apparently) won an out-of-court settlement. At one point Filmation was supposed to do the animated version but Columbia backed out. Filmation retaliated by releasing this inferior version which featured the sons of the Tucker and Storch characters. Everything about this show was inferior to "Real Ghostbusters". Don't bother tracking it down.

DragoonKain I remember first seeing this when I was 6 or 7 years old and LOVED this show. I was a bit confused, because I was familiar with the 1984 movie, but found it much too scary at the time. This show was much better for a kid of my age. It wasn't as scary, and the slapstick humor was right up my ally. I laughed every time they had to go through the "suit up" scene. I probably would have liked the original 1975 live action show this was based off of had I known about it. I was a big fan of this cartoon before I even knew about DiC's "The Real Ghostbusters", which didn't come on TV until several months after this show first aired. I liked "The Real Ghostbusters", but preferred this cartoon for some time. I remember I loved the toys. My cousin had the car. It was really cool because the wheels would raise up and would transform into the flying form and the submarine form. As I got older I grew to like "The Real Ghostbusters" more and eventually, this show disappeared and "The Real Ghostbusters" was all that was left on TV. As I got older, I realized that the "The Real Ghostbusters" was the smarter show, but I maintained a lot of nostalgia for the original Filmation's "Ghostbusters". I think this show is much better for younger kids, while "The Real Ghostbusters" is better for older kids. Both good shows though.

jalilidalili I use to love this show as a child. It's not a rip off from the movie as i twas already mentioned many times. I had a really hard time getting a DVD and now I finally have it. I'm a teacher at a elementary school and I teach English as a foregin language. Guess what - this cartoon is a perfect tool for that. The language and the plot are simple enough for kids to follow it even without listening to the words, so the language sort of slips into their conscience. It's good for basic vocabulary and listening comprehension. The cartoon is also not violent (not really) and funny enough with a strong moral point at the end. So it's perfect for a classroom. At first I was afraid the children would hate it, because the plots are simplistc and the are quite a few goof-ups, but children up to the age of 10 simply loved it and learned quite a few things. We could always start a discussion about the moral of the story (told at the end), revize the new words they've learned and simply reenact some scenes (for pure fun and relaxation). This made me think about this cartoon in a whole new light. It's not just a trip down the memory lane, but it's also a useful tool for foregin language teaching (who would have guessed :)

gunforanarm Actually, that this series was a "rip off" of the Ghostbusters films and The Real Ghostbusters cartoon show is a common misconception. Filmation had a live action show in the 1970s called Ghostbusters, and it was pretty much the same as this cartoon, except, obviously, live action. Filmation tried to capitalize on the success of the new Ghostbusters by creating this cartoon and re-releasing videotapes of the old show.Personally, I do prefer the 1980s Bill Murray/Dan Akyroyd Ghostbusters, but to call this a ripoff is just naive.
