TV.com summary

Filmation's Ghostbusters was an animated television series created by Filmation and launched following the success of the Columbia Pictures live-action Ghostbusters movie. It ran from 1986-1988 in syndication and comprised of 65 episodes. The cartoon was based on a live-action television show from the 1970s titled The Ghost Busters. It is not to be confused with the animated show The Real Ghostbusters; which was based on the 1984 movie Ghostbusters. Columbia Pictures had to obtain the rights to the name from Filmation for its film, and after it was a hit, Filmation went into production with its animated series based on the characters from its series. Celebrity Home Entertainment (also known as Celebrity Home Video, and simply Celebrity Video) was a home video distributor specializing in mostly obscure material from around the world, although they also released some material that was very famous at the time of its original release (such as BraveStarr). ...

Summary

Jake Kong, Eddie Spencer and Tracy the Gorilla are the Ghost Busters. Jake and Eddie were the sons of the original Ghost Busters in the live action series of the same name; Tracy worked with their fathers.

Their headquarters, termed Ghost Command, is located in a haunted mansion nestled between a number of tall skyscrapers (which resemble the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in NYC). They are supported by a number of secondary characters including Ansa-Bone, a talking skull phone; Skelevision, a talking skeleton television; Belfrey, a pink talking bat; and Ghost Buggy, their talking ghost car. They occasionally enlist the aid of Futura, a time travelling Ghostbuster from the future, and Jessica, a local tv news reporter.

Together, they have dedicated themselves to ridding the world of the evil wizard Prime Evil and his cast of henchmen. Prime Evil's headquarters, termed Hauntquarters (which resembles the British Houses of Parliament complete with a Big Ben-esque clock tower), is located in The Fifth Dimension. In a typical episode, Prime Evil uses his magical powers to open up a wormhole to enable one or more of his henchmen to complete a particular scheme that serves to help him take over the world. “Houses of Parliament” redirects here. ... The Clock Tower, colloquially known as Big Ben (a name that correctly refers to the main bell) Big Ben redirects here. ...

Famous guest-star ghosts that appeared on the show include Count Dracula and the Headless Horseman (who also appeared in an episode of The Real Ghostbusters written by Randy Lofficier). Dracula is an 1897 novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, featuring as its primary antagonist the vampire Count Dracula. ... The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a short story by Washington Irving contained in his collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. ...

Jean-Marc Lofficier (born June 22, 1954) is a French author of books about film and television programs, as well as numerous comic books and translations of a number of animation screenplays. ...

Like almost all 1980s Filmation cartoons, each episode closes with Skelevision (sometimes accompanied by Belfrey) explaining a particular lesson that can be learned from the events that went on during the episode. From time to time, Jake, Eddie or another good character would talk with Skelevison about the lesson. Also some versions would not have Skelevision.

While The Real Ghostbusters had the catchphrase, "Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!", each episode of Filmation's Ghost Busters also used a catchphrase: "Let's Go, Ghost Busters!" This article is about the animated spin-off of the 1984 film Ghostbusters. ... A catch phrase is a phrase or expression that is popularized, usually through repeated use, by a real person or fictional character. ...

The Real Ghostbusters controversy

The show is also known as The Original Ghost Busters because, when Columbia Pictures released the film Ghostbusters in 1984, it neglected the fact that Filmation had already produced a live-action comedy series with that same name in 1975. Filmation sued Columbia in 1985, and as part of the out-of-court settlement the cartoon based on the Columbia Pictures property had to be called The Real Ghostbusters instead of simply Ghostbusters (this is disputed. Another story is that when the movies were released, Filmation planned to capitolize on their success and create the cartoon. To prevent this from happening and to take a sort of jab at Filmation for trying to use their work to get a hit cartoon, Columbia named the cartoon 'The Real Ghostbusters' While there's no definate proof this is true, it would make sense, since why would Filmation insist on a rival cartoon being called 'The Real'.) Filmation had even gone as far as to attempt to work with Columbia Pictures and had completed initial design work for a cartoon to be based on the movie. Columbia changed its minds, deciding not to work with Filmation, and the proposed deal fell through (Columbia worked with DiC instead). Filmation's Lou Scheimer later admitted "We should have asked for the animation rights for their (Columbia's) Ghostbusters as part of the settlement." ^[1] This prompted Filmation to create the cartoon based on its former live-action series. The series was a ratings hit until The Real Ghostbusters began to air.^{[citation needed]} This article is about the animated spin-off of the 1984 film Ghostbusters. ...

Toys

Many toys were made by Schaper to go along with the series. The action figures were very good likenesses to their cartoon counterparts and included a small comic with each figure which was a shortened version of the first five episodes of the show. The series of figures included Jake, Eddie, Tracy, Futura, Jessica, Belfrey, Brat-A-Rat, Prime Evil, Haunter, Scared Stiff, Mysteria, Fib Face and Fangster. Jake came with a removable ghostpack and dematerializer. Eddie came with a removable ghostpack and Specter Snare. Tracy came with his removable backpack and Ghost Gummer. Due to their small size, Belfrey and Brat-A-Rat were packaged together with a backpack that could be worn by Tracy or Fangster. Prime Evil had a removable cape. There were also several vehicles and playsets that included the Ghost Buggy, Futura's Time Hopper, Prime Evil's Bone Troller playset, the Scare Scooter and the Ghost Command playset. The tagline for the series was "So much fun, it's spooky!"

Villains

• Prime Evil: Primary villain, a wizard, although he appears to be a robot with an android-like human skull and garbed in flowing red robes. Prime Evil has many evil powers including the ability to shoot energy bolts from his fingers. Prime Evil's minions often find themselves getting zapped when they don't succeed in stopping the Ghostbusters.

• Fangster: A Werewolf from the future who wears high-top gym shoes. Voiced by Alan Oppenheimer.

• Scared Stiff: A robotic skeleton,similar in appearance to C-3PO. He is easily frightened and is often zapped to pieces by Prime Evil or falls apart on account of his own fright. Voiced by Pat Fraley.

• Haunter: Resembles a safari hunter with an English accent. His vocal nuance exaggerates the letter "r" for the letter "w" such as pronouncing "dematerializer" as "dematewealwizer." Often gets in trouble for calling Prime Evil "old boy," "old bean" and other english endearments. Sometimes will make his pith helmet extremely large to fly in or to assist in kidnapping people. His monocle has magic powers. Voiced by Peter Cullen

• Bratarat: A pot-bellied, legless flying rat with an elongated nose, a lizard-like body, and an acute squint in one eye. His name is loosely based on Burt Bacharach, and is also a master keyboard player. Voiced by Peter Cullen.

• Misteria: Resembles Morticia from The Addams Family, wearing a long black hairstyle. She has power over mist and is known for calling people "darling". She is also vain about her appearance. Voiced by Linda Gary.

• Apparitia: A sorceress who sounds like Mae West and like her name implies she can conjure up all sorts of apparitions. She wears a sleeveless red dress and has long green hair. Voiced by Linda Gary.

• Floatzart: A petite, red-headed tuxedo-wearing ghost with music-themed powers, loosely based on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart but looks like Ludwig van Beethoven. Voiced by Peter Cullen.

• Corpulon: A ghost from the future with a grudge against Futura, who sent him to Ghost Limbo. Requires massive amounts of energy to stay "alive"--in fact, he eats it from enormous jars. (This makes him very similar to Jabba the Hutt.) Uses "Bug-droids" to do his dirty work. Remarkably, Corpulon is one of the few ghosts who isn't associated with Prime Evil. Voiced by Peter Cullen.

Weapons

• The Dematerializer: The Ghostbusters' main weapon, it shoots a beam that banishes ghosts to limbo, but doesn't always work (Prime Evil, for example, is too powerful to be affected unless the Ghostbusters find an external means to boost its power). It tends to get broken, preventing the Ghostbusters from achieving easy victory.
• Ghost Gummer: Shoots a gob of a sticky pink substance to immobilize enemies.
• Spectre Snare: Shoots a coiled rope to trap a ghost.
• Bubble Blaster: Fires off a stream of soaplike bubbles that combine to form one large bubble to entrap a ghost.
• Dematerializer Net: An energized net that is stretched across the Ghost Buggy that causes ghosts to be banished to limbo as soon as they touch it.
• Ghost Pack: The standard equipment pack Jake and Eddie carry with their Ghostbusters Logo on it. It holds an impossible amount of devices within it and also acts as a jetpack when needed. Tracy carries a larger version which includes the portable Transformation Chamber itself.
• Transformation Chamber: A skeletal elevator normally located at Ghostbusters HQ, which Jake and Eddie use to change into their uniforms and equip themselves with their Ghost Packs. The elevator rises up into some kind of ghostly dimension where they are stripped down to their underwear and prepared for battle. Their 'transformation sequence' is a series of acrobatic movements along a kind of assembly-line, with trapezes, a slide, and bouncing off an old mattress to land into the Ghost Buggy. In the majority of the episodes, viewers see part or all of this process.
