Description:

For devoted Casper fans with fond memories of Harvey Comics' Friendly Ghost, here's a nostalgic collection of classic 1950s Casper cartoons certain to lift one's, well, spirits. Not to be confused with the more recent live-action Casper movies (a mixed bag ranging from dreary to dreadful), this blast from the past forgives such modern-day misfires. The 82-minute program opens with Winston Sharples's original theme song and then launches into 14 ghostly tales with playful titles such as "To Boo or Not to Boo" and "Boo Ribbon Winner." The endearing little ghost (drawn in vintage animation), along with his mischievous alter ego, Spooky, and spirited pal Wendy, are involved in pint-sized dilemmas wrapped in sweet moral messages happily sewn up in a quick six minutes. Viewers of all ages will identify with the re-occurring themes of friendship, fair play, and acceptance, while cheering Casper's small victories. There are no tasteless paranormal twists; rather, it's a delightful jaunt into yesteryear. --Lynn Gibson
