Casper the Friendly Ghost - There's Good Boos Tonight

[@chaoticneutral7976]

This was one of the saddest moments in my childhood. Poor Casper spends the first half sad because he can't find a friend and when he finds one, it was so heart-breaking to see him getting chased and then killed. I was glad that they got a happy ending when he became a ghost as well but it still made me sad as a kid. It still does to this day. Such a underrated moment in a children's show

[@nitevibe9886]

Thank God it's underrated cuz I don't wanna remember this

Natalie Miranda I have this episode on one of the old cartoon DVDs that I've got. And I never thought Casper was a scary ghost. I always thought he was kinda cute.

[@natarisaru]

I used to have this episode on a really old VHS that had over 50 cartoons and was over 6 hours long. I think Casper himself is pretty adorable and sweet; they only make him seem scary because of the whole "ghosts are bad" thing, which even as a kid, I never understood.

I've always kind of identified with his loneliness and how he felt alienated. I get choked up too from the moment he cries after his bath all the way to the end when he reunites w the little fox.

[@rickariche]

He genuinely tried. He introduced himself to everyone but he gets rejected. He even tries copying the skunk but the skunk gets scared. Ferdie was the only one who empathizes with him.

[@melissacooper4482]

In nearly every Casper cartoon Casper is an outcast by his fellow ghosts because he wants to be friends with the living while the other ghosts want to scare the daylights out of the living. Whenever Casper goes out to try to make friends usually about two to three living creatures get frightened by him and runs away. And then when Casper is at his lowest a lonely creature feels empathy and befriend Casper. The thing that bothers me the most is that even though the cartoons usually have a happy ending we don't see the friend in the next episode. What happened to them afterwards?

[@awesomeninja9178]

Seeing the fox get killed tore me up nearly 30 years later, but was happy to see he stayed a ghost to be with Casper. Even though foxes are more related to dogs, I feel like they are more feline in their nature. And Ferdie reminds me of my kitty, who right now is with my Mom for a couple days. I miss him so much!! 😭😭😭

[@spencerhensley5495]

I wish all foxes were like Ferdie because I want to hold one like a dog. They have sanctuaries where you can do that but it’s a a lot of money and time to do. In the wild no fox will ever be like Ferdie which is sad. Ferdie really is more of a puppy in spirit then a fox. I wish some foxes were really like that.

[@spencerhensley5495]

He really should have at least tried to scare him away. In the next movie A Haunting We Will Go he legitimately intentionally frightens the hunter who shoots at his friend. Casper had no guts in this one. That’s why I liked the next cartoon better because he actually did something. I like Ferdie as his friend better than Dudley Duck whom he befriends in the next movie but Casper was a stronger character in the next movie. Here he’s just basically asking the hunter to kill his friend.
