5.0 out of 5 stars  “Classics 80s animation”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2020

 

is an American animated television series, a spin-off/sequel of the 1984 comedy movie Ghostbusters. The series ran from September 13, 1986, to October 5, 1991, and was produced by Columbia Pictures Television, DIC Enterprises and Coca-Cola Telecommunications.

 

The series continues the adventures of paranormal investigators Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Egon Spengler, Dr. Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore, their secretary Janine Melnitz and their mascot ghost Slimer. "The Real" was added to the title after a dispute with Filmation and its Ghost Busters properties.

There also were two ongoing Real Ghostbusters comics, one published monthly by Now Comics in the United States and the other published weekly (originally biweekly) by Marvel Comics in the United Kingdom. Kenner produced a line of action figures and playsets based on the cartoon.

 

A follow on from the major motion picture and a joy to watch in my younger days on CITV on a Friday afternoon.

Almost five hours of Ghostbusting cartoons! Any parent of a Ghostbusters- crazy little kid will appreciate the true value of it. Our little boy loves this DVD and it's been a very welcome distraction while he's been feeling poorly.

5.0 out of 5 stars  “Fantastic!”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 July 2017

 

Absolutely loved this cartoon when it was on TV in the early 90s and watching it now I still love it just as much, my 3 year old son loves it too! A great trip down memory lane. Without a doubt some of the very best kids cartoons were made during the 80s. They just don't make 'em like this any more.
