Casper-Boo Moon

[@raymondyorysh7401]

On January 1, 1954, this cartoon was released and Floor Flusher, featuring Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Bluto, was released on the same day and Boo Moon was the second Paramount cartoon released in 3D, the first one was Popeye, the Ace of Space released on 2 October 1953 in the Popeye the Sailor series. The 2-D print of Boo Moon was released on March 5, 1954.

[@Rlotpir1972]

Yes. This was one of two cartoons from Paramount that was made in 3-D or Stereocolor. The other was "Popeye - The Ace of Space", from 1953.

[@TheSkyhorse82]

Just had a flashback when I saw the king roll up in the rug. We used to do that with ours when we were kids.

[@UnknownParadox777]

Thanks for the upload, I had this on vhs and watched it all the time when I was a kid, brings back memories!

[@raymondyorysh7401]

6:13 Casper the friendly Ghost theme song.

[@Jakemwc]

This is definitely one of the most memorable episodes ever!

[@angelflwrgacha5670]

I wasnt even borned this year- WTF?!

[@antonydandrea]

I have fond memories watching this episode on VHS. Also remember seeing the man in the moon for the first time and was shocked it was like the cartoon

[@SweetPipsqueak]

I loved this episode when I was a kid. :)

[@Noveltooner]

Good call, because that is indeed the King of Blefescue. Famous sometimes referred back to some of their old cels in a cost-cutting measure. This was originally a Paramount "Stereotoon" (a 3-D Casper Noveltoon). The original 3-D print with the Paramount Jack-in-the-Box, Stereotoon tag, Famous Studios tag, credits, title and closing Paramount mountain closing logo are all intact in an archived print in the Library of Congress (none of that Harvey stuff).

[@SweetPipsqueak]

I used to have a VHS cassette that contained this episode when I was little. But I don't remember any of the characters talking. :\ Other than that, this is one of my favorite Casper episodes. :)

[@67nairb]

Sid Raymond, Jackson Beck and Alan Swift provided the voices of some of the characters in this CASPAR cartoon. Jackson Beck was the voice of King Luna. Beck died in 2004 age 92; Raymond died in 2006 age 97; Swift died in 2010 age 86.

[@67nairb]

with the enourmous resurgence of 3-d films in recent years, it's surprising that cartoons such as this aren''t shown in theaters before the feature films.

[@Whittaker996]

I used to have this on video, i miss watching it every day

[@CC927]

Thanks. I haven't seen this since I was a kid.

[@labeano2002]

omg i haven't seen this in over 20 years. thank you!

[@clockworktim]

Wow thanks for posting. Haven't seen this since I was a tike & that was a long time ago. I remember this! The tree men scared the hell out of me. I was an impressionable lad & this one gave me nightmares. I'd imagine those creatures marching down the dead end street in front of our house @ night during a storm to get my family & me. Talk about an overactive imagination! You can usually count on KZbin to have mind blowers from your past. Closest thing to a time machine we have. Cheers!

[@theclairebaire]

idk. those tree things freaked me out as a kid...still kinda do! good for you Casper!

[@handodo2525]

Claire Baire true

[@ryanharris5184]

What are those tree things anyway

[@burtis77]

Claire Baire me too

[@kelseynsuggs]

oh man i used to watch this all the time

[@chinzebo]

You post such FUN and CLEAR-TO-VIEW stuff! THX..

[@shinichivsran]

cool nice quality. Thanks! Brings back so much memories:)

[@mohammadqarawolos3924]

Omg 😮 a ghost in the moon 🌝

[@fromthesidelines]

This was originally produced in 3-D, and released in 1954 {with Paramount's other 'Stereotoon', "Popeye-The Ace Of Space"}. "King Luna" is actually the "King of Lilliput" that was featured in Max Fleischer's "Gulliver's Travels" (1939)- same character design. Jackson Beck and Allen Swift provide some voices here...

[@Rlotpir1972]

Made in 1953, the year of the 3-D.

[@WerewolfJimSmith]

Casper....Great Cartoon

[@zapkvr]

All the time I was watching this as a small child I missed the subtext of the dead little boy Caspar. It only occured to me much later when I saw the movie with Christina Ricci. It made me feel sad.

[@FreeKentHovind]

Casper is a hero!

[@LuckyLuke_94]

SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN FORESHADOWING

[@andytallman101]

love this ... the tree men are attacking!!!!

[@janynbuena3666]

gosh! I saw this when I was just a little kid!!! I feel as though im a kid again :D

[@AmandaBear26]

I remember seeing this as a kid and I was always freaked out when the moon would change from the friendly, cartoon face to the more realistic-looking crater formations. Creepy...

[@giantsean]

How is it that Casper who is made of ectoplasm or mist or what not, interact with solid matter? This one was particularly memorable as it was part of the bumper for Casper on NYC's Channel 5 ("the fun's on Channel... the fun's on Channel... the choice for fun is FIVE!") so it was a treat to see the actual episode when it ran. Constant tree-men were kind of a tease (and very disturbing at that)

[@JonathanCline25]

3:27 GUARDS! GUARDS! PUT THE MONSTER IN THE ROYAL DUNGEON!

[@fromthesidelines]

He was ONE of those kings, 'nairb'. it's been a long time since I saw Max Fleischer's version....probably "King Bombo", as you've noted.

[@shahzadamiri1317]

this was uploaded on my 10th birthday :)

[@PPGH-BandAnimaniacsFan]

I remember this episode

[@MrFantabulousMKL]

No wonder he's tired, he just flew all the way to the frickin moon!

[@67nairb]

@fromthesidelines No he was King Bombo of the Blefiscules from GULLIVER'S TRAVELLS.

[@TheSkyhorse82]

Those planets he passes by on his short flight up to the moon are teeny tiny!

[@Noveltooner]

I wonder if this or any of the Casper cartoons and Noveltoons sold to Harvey still exist with their original Paramount titles? One thing I've noticed and do not like is that after the Harvey takeover, all of the characters began to look alike. At least in the days of Paramount and Famous Studios when this short was made, Casper, Little Audrey and the rest were very distinctive from one another.

[@MystiqueHorizon]

So,,,, The Ent are from the Moon??? 😅😅😅

[@67nairb]

Thank you. You can look up all these famous voice people when they were born and died on Wickipedia the free encyclopedia. Although Raymond, Beck and Swift were no where near as famous as Daws Butler, June Foray and of course Mel Blanc.

[@TheRaveyBabyy]

I use to watch this when I was young . Now I have my own child :( lifes short

[@67nairb]

He was originally King Bombo of Blefescu..

[@ActivistVictor]

brian sedlock doesn’t surprise me, this whole episode has a gulliver’s travels vibe

[@Skalopulton301]

King Luna? That name reminds me of Princess Luna from MLP FiM.

[@roseliipda]

gostei muito adorei foi otimo muito obrigado

[@imthebrother]

Great info there...

[@wagfinpis]

casper failed to notice that he was instantly jailed and made an enemy of the state on site, and that the very prision he was held in was made of wood(dead tree people) as was the front gate. i'm not so sure the tree people were the bad guy's.

[@rennyminou]

Sorry I couldn't reply directly for some reason - it looks to be 1953 (check the beginning/intro) Beautiful animation.

[@DisneyPlusReviewer]

Great uplaod. Upload more soon.

[@kierankalamity]

0:25 What's with the closeup?

[@PSdissenter]

@butterflywings2004 Yeah! It's got a pink cover right?

[@connorcleary9535]

Released on January 18, 1954

[@allanegleston13]

gullivars travels reference

[@AllRequired]

He probably would have been able to scare the wood off the invading trees.

[@rlf4403tube]

@roanuge My favorite cartoon!

[@67nairb]

This cartoon was done in 3-D.

[@Justmee10]

I never KNEW there were PEOPLE living in MOON :-O

[@TomDaly943]

The king reminds me of King Bombo from Gulliver's Travels.

[@joshlane6241]

i remember this one

[@twisteddarknightcore2418]

someone should upload the original 3d version

[@Rlotpir1972]

Going to be hard since Paramount doesn't own the Harvey cartoons...…...yet.

[@WINXaIZaPIXIELOVER]

XD I know this was in 3D, but 0:25 was really creepy.

[@Nazzlover38]

The Tree People remind me of the Ents from LOTR.

[@uilo11]

0:25 to 0:47 it my favorite part

[@lcj1986]

i remember this

[@CJODell12]

This was originally made in 3-D.

[@LOLITSMELOL100]

lol my mom said i cried for casper because of the way his brothers use to treat him xD

[@MystiqueHorizon]

They were his uncles lol

[@10INTM]

Good thing Casper doesn't have some prime directive against interfering with other worlds.

[@AlanPostScript]

That title screen looks like the title of Dawn of the Dead... wonder if this image inspired George Romero.

[@danj1701d]

Notice how the king also sounds like Brutus from the old Popeye cartoons?

[@52843ful]

sana may friendly ghost tlaga....

[@SpiderandMosquito]

that would be epic :)

[@Eradictus]

poor casper, it's a shame that everyone gets scared when they se him

[@Sandlot1992]

at 1:30 looks like a hidden mickey mouse heas to me on the moon!

[@yewtoobdewd]

1:16 on his way to the moon casper passes up Saturn. Umm...

[@PerfectAlibi1]

Casper is a ghost but how are the tiny people and treemen LIVING on the moon? XD

[@mickiemcmeow2605]

So this cartoon was before men actually landed on the moon? Did they really think there were little moon people on there?

[@bcs455]

No. People knew about moon being lifeless before they landed on moon via telescopes. Just like we know today about other lifeless planets like Venus w/o actually landing there. The story here was just a fantasy..

[@CanadianShow]

AH G-G-G-GHOST!!!!!

[@67nairb]

The 1995 movie?

[@lisafaccas7781]

Blue moon.

[@ceceliamadison802]

[@67nairb]

What year was this cartoon?

[@bradyanderson8654]

brian sedlock 1953.

[@TAGanimation]

SOMEONE MAKE AN ATTACK ON TITAN OPENING PARODY OPENING OF THIS.

[@danj1701d]

Yeah...so does Spongebob...they're the only two male characters in 'toons that have eyelashes; only females otherwise. Personally, I always wondered about Casper and Spongebob. I'm just sayin'...

[@samandmrcheese]

Timing!

[@fahrizalhafid9929]

Alien Ghost

[@Hugoneitor-yv5dj]

XD

[@ryanharris5184]

Yeah to them he's the alien

[@broccolivirgin]

So many plotholes. O_O

[@RockLeeSasoriFan]

They give Casper no respect. No respect at all. I wouldn't be scared of him! What's to be scared of?

[@StarBoy62]

@rhinomantis88 Why do you say that?

[@pshepherd58]

my son prefers a clutch cargo cartoon over this out of raw committing sins too much cause of global supercard wrestling on espn classic that still lives on at&t uverse

[@rashedprime]

Good that he went to the moon not inside NASA lol...

[@67nairb]

Why don't ya just give it up Casper? Nobody likes a ghost.

[@sveisto]
