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

A nice mix of old Casper toons, several featuring Wendy, the Good Little Witch. My kids sure love these, as I did as a kid. Some of them are very old, which both the kids and I don't mind at all. Reminds me of how I watched them on a snowy UHF station down in my cousins' house.

This is a very good collection compared to others I have, these look great. My Grandchildren 3 & 4 love them. But I was dissapointed that it didn't have more of Wendy. Only two episodes of Wendy. The title does say Casper and Wendy's Ghostly Adventures? Casper and Wendy episodes were my favorite and I bought this thinking I would see lots of Casper with Wendy. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars. Otherwise I highly recommend it.

I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED ALL THE PARAMOUNT CARTOONS: FROM FAMOUS STUDIOS POPEYE TO THE HARVEYTOONS TO MODERN MADCAPS AND NOVELTOONS OF THE EARLY 1960'S!!!! WHAT MAKES THESE CARTOONS OUTSTANDING IS THE COMBINATION OF GREAT ANIMATION, SOUND EFFECTS AND MOST MEMORABLE OF ALL IS THE SENSATIONAL AND DYNAMIC MUSIC SCORES BY WINSTON SHARPLES; WHICH ADD THEIR OWN SPECIAL MAGIC AND WONDER TO EACH CARTOON HE ORCHESTRAED FOR!!!!
CASPER IS THE MOST MEMORABLE CHARACTER OF ALL FOR HIS SINCERE HONESTY, AND CHILDLIKE ... Read More

I remember that I watched Casper when young, but not much of it, and I didn't remember any of the content, just that he was a friendly ghost. So when I saw this, I was excited to share a classic with my kids. I was curious what it was like since I did not remember a thing, so I previewed it after the kids went to bed, and I do not enjoy it at all! I'm going to chuck it without even showing it to them. I'm glad I only paid $6 at Walmart (VHS). It is very odd and distrubing to me. Like when the lady is ... Read More
