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.

These are all original theatrical shorts with one exception, that being "Wendy's Wish," an enchanting episode from the 1963 TV series "The New Casper Cartoon Show." As far as I know, this short is found only on this DVD. Other shorts from "The New Casper Cartoon Show" are found on Casper's Spookiest Tales.
The 13 theatrical shorts on this DVD are also found in the 8-sided Harvey Toons - The Complete Collection.

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 WARMTH AND AFFECTION THAT MAKE US ALL
BELIEVERS OF FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE! THE CARTOONS IN THIS COLLECTION ARE PRICELESS! I'M A NEW SONY DVD OWNER AS OF FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH, 2004, AND I TRUELY ENJOY THE INCREDIBLE AVIANCE OF CHOICING BY DISPLAY OR MENU, WHAT SCENES I WANT TO SEE MOST IN WIDESCREEN MOTION PICTURES, AND IN CARTOON EPISODE BROWSING!!!! THESE CARTOONS ARE DIGITALLY CLEAR AND WITH ORIGINAL WINSTON SHARPLES MUSIC SCORES, SO BEAUTIFULLY ADDED!!!!
THIS CARTOON COLLECTION BRINGS ALOT OF CHILDHOOD MEMORIES!!!! THIS DVD I RATE ABOVE 5 STARS!!!! I TRUELY ENJOY THE TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE!!!! I HOPE IN TIME MORE HARVEYTOON DVDS WILL BE MADE TO INCLUDE THE EPISODES OF LITTLE AUDREY, HERMAN AND KATNIP, BABY HUEY AND OTHER CHARACTERS OF THE MODERN MADCAPS AND NOVELTOONS LIKE GOODIE THE GREMLIN AND JEEPERS AND CREEPERS!!!!

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 scared of Casper and her whole house runs away, and then the kids run into what's left of it, the basement, and zip up the ground. Or how some freaky man's dentures come off on the apple he was trying to grab. Just distrubing stuff, not sweet at all to me. I can't imagine kids nowadays liking this. But now that I think of it, I am more into cartoons now than I was when young. I think there's such better stuff out there now for children. Cartoons from my youth were more violent than I choose for my little ones now. I love Arthur, Madeline, Kipper, Harold and the Purple Crayon (HBO series), Maggie and the Ferocious Beast. They are sweet and not freaky like this. And it's not that I don't get into some of the older stuff. I love The Last Unicorn and Ricki Ticki Tavi. Guess I'm not the Looney Tunes type that would get into this. I can see where people who loved Casper when young would rave about this, but I'd be very surprised if their kids enjoyed it at all. And the orchestra music playing throughout... I know it's the style, but I hate it!
