You have to respect the show more when you see all the hard work that went into it.

[@JR-ju3kj]

I think that people have to respect animation as a whole when they see all of the hard work that goes into creating an animated show(and I'm talking about BOTH traditional hand-drawn animation and computer-generated animation). Whenever people dismissively talk about something just being ''a cartoon'',I can always tell that they don't know the first thing about how hard it is and how expensive it is to do animation(as an aspiring comic book writer and artist,it's the same way that many people don't realize how much hard work,effort,time and money goes into making a comic book).

[@adampoole948]

frank welker is right up there with Mel Blanc in terms of his voice talent

[@Injectedracing]

Yeh but it’s annoying how ray has Fred’s voice from Scooby doo lol

[@kingbeef66]

Frank once said he would like to be on a Mount Rushmore of voice actors with Mel, Daws Butler, Peter Cullen, of course he then says June Foray.

[@zackgb]

amazing to see greats like Maurice and Frank Welker at work .Would be great to see more of that, including stuff with Arsenio and Lorenzo. Probably sadly will never be seen.

[@Ironbat92]

Frank Welker is the god of voice acting.

[@JR-ju3kj]

I'd say it's Frank Welker and Mel Blanc.

[@tylervenkersammy2365]

2:20 - 2:44 Maurice LaMarche and Frank Welker recording voices of Slimer, Ray Stanz and Egon Spengler!!

[@TheaterPup]

What a gift Frank Welker has, it's unfair that anyone should be that talented, lol. :)

[@rennmaxbeta]

I've never seen Frank Welker working. He's amazing.

[@johnprudent3216]

I remembered that you could always see which episodes were done by the A team and B team. The Saturday morning episodes always had the dynamic cool animation.

[@radartechnicianbob8208]

"Hello! How are you?! I have twelve voices! huhhuhhuhhuh!" More like twelve million! May you live forever, Mr. Welker.

[@Gygaxlgargus]

I always forget just how much work and how many people it takes to make a cartoon.

[@AnitaLife27]

This is soooo cool. I remember a young woman who was told she couldn't be an animator because she didn't speak Japanese!!! How dumb is that. Don't know if she ever studied it, but I hope the teacher who said that to her is waiting tables! Amazing how much alll this hand drawn stuff, at least the production end of it, has changed so radically since this was done. Artist will always use pencils to start, but the computer is it for animation, at least in the commercial realm. Thanks!

[@RyanSeven1111]

Frank Welker. Thats all I have to say.

[@Cutelatinguy2]

The voice of my childhood!

[@FireMadeFleshII]

They were boarding The Halloween Door (1:55)! The "Touching Old Magic" sequence & Boogaloo!

[@DUMPPREP]

Amazing. Love animation. There's not a truer more complete art form in the world.

[@CineRecon]

Frank Welker raised me during the 80's. Long Live Megatron!

[@JB0071051982]

Now that I think about yes he does look a little like the animated Ray Stantz. This is so cool so see Frank Welker and Maurice Lamarche working along with the other people involved in making The Real Ghostbusters. It is still one of my favorite cartoons to this day. In fact the final episode"20,000 Leagues under the Street" aired on my 9th birthday in 1991.

[@morganghostbusters-egonfan]

That’s awesome!

[@killerbee2562]

I knew it was animated in japan, but it never occurred to me all the time and effort it took sub contract to another Continent like that in the days before the internet.

[@AMTheOcarinaPlayer]

Once again, proof that the majority of cartoons in the 80’s were actually anime in American drag. The Ghostbusters really did get an anime. And Frank Walker is pure epic!!! Now I appreciate him like I do Paul Freese, June Foray and Robin Williams. 👍

[@AndresRequenaFielOE]

Muchas Gracias por subir estos videos!! saludos desde mexico!! ;)

[@steelersguy74]

Does anyone else think Maurice LaMarche actually sort of resembles Harold Ramis in this video?

[@morganghostbusters-egonfan]

Yep. He was pretty young back then

[@alexanderpytko5394]

Speaking of voice actors, by the 3rd season, Dave Coulier took over as the voice of Peter Venkman. I personally think Lorenzo Music was the better voice actor because he captured Peter's character perfectly. Yes, Coulier could do a voice impression of Bill Murray but it sounded more like Bill Murray playing Carl Spackler in "Caddyshack" instead of Bill Murray playing Peter Venkman in "Ghostbusters." Plus, I liked it better when Peter didn't like Slimer so much as he's holding a grudge against him for sliming him at the hotel. When Dave Coulier took over the role, it's like Peter and Slimer were best buds and that just doesn't fit.

[@Loudmouf84]

Time heals all wounds. Slimer was a good guy and part of the team.

[@alexanderpytko5394]

At 2:23, Frank Welker one of the biggest voice actors in the business. Although in this, he kind of looks like Mr. Roper from "Three's Company." Any famous voice he's known for doing is Freddy from "Scooby Doo."

[@Artisan1979]

Ok didn't know Welker voiced Skeeter AND Kermit. Christ this dudes out Mel Blanc's Mel Blanc.

[@markralston5548]

awesome 👍👍👍 i like the video

[@Cazz8203]

when he did the boogeyman voice.....damn, that sent shivers down my spine....that voice is just downright creepy

[@nicholastosoni707]

I've never seen pictures of him. They practically designed Ray in his image!

[@RKellyMask]

Makes you wonder how much has changed and what stayed the same in animation.

[@Sazuko]

So The Real Ghostbusters cartoon was actually part Anime/Japanese animation, lol Who knew XD and 13,000-14,000 cells/per episode @_@ thats insane, man, PROPS to those animators!! they really don't get paid enough~ :/

[@ryodash]

Does anyone know how long it took to make an episode of The Real Ghostbusters? I know it took 9 months to make an episode of The Simpsons (They had over twenty teams working at the same time to produce one series a year) but The Real Ghosbusters often had even better animation than The Simpsons. Anyone know?

[@J0nst]

wooo such a great show. cant wait for the video game

[@duke3250]

I'm still playing it 13 years later.

[@daedralord1]

@CineRecon indeed...hes great

[@VaqueroCoyote]

Huh, so Ghostbusters was animated in Japan? I always did get kind of an anime vibe from it.

[@JR-ju3kj]

Not surprising,really,. Like you said,I always got that kind of Anime vibe from it,too. But one thing I liked was how well Winston was animated because typically,Anime doesn't do a particularly good and flattering job of depicting people of color.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

If Frank Welker could do Skeeter (Muppet Babies) well among the female voices, he could've done a perfect Janine as well.

[@youkai3785]

ClassicTVMan1981X Welker is VERY good, but Janine needs to be voiced by a woman. Soucie wasnt bad, and shes one of the good ones whos been instrumental to many of our childhood favorite shows, but Laura Summer was the best Janine after Annie Potts.

[@leaderstragg]

@mmmfloorpie Depends. If your looking at something straight ahead, you're better of with narrow featherweights, but if your looking at something while your lying down they can be pretty handy.

[@JohnSmith-qc5cm]

what a fucking nightmare

[@Cazz8203]

Frank Welker is freakin awesome!!!

[@frederickbabyyeah]

i think they still hand draw but with tablets rather than paper.

[@mondesix]

I want to contact the owner of this video please

[@MortenEng]

What episode(s) did Frank Welker and Maurice LaMarche recorded?

[@jeffstephens1049]

Why wasn't this on the DVD collection?

[@artycharr]

is the narrator Rolf Harris?

[@Ghostwitch]

Is it just me, or does Ray bear more than a passing resemblance to Frank?

[@rancidrabbit100]

Frank welker is a genius.

[@Ashbuster85]

@xazoulini1 Mr. Sandman Dream me a dream is the name of the episode

[@18WheelinEagle]

Will Somebody explain the Stay Puft Character!

[@AMLCOrey]

6:23 - So the uncle of the Gangnam-Style-Dude was invloved with the Ghostbusters Cartoon, or what?

[@djmarsone5209]

Idiota, esto es Japón. No Korea 😠😡

[@AMLCOrey]

@@djmarsone5209 lo se, amigo. :-)

[@Ghostwitch]

...How...else...would it be made...? O_o

[@94ejackAYTUser]

What is Phil doing right now?

[@mmmfloorpie]

You think people REALLY needed glasses that big back then?

[@ijansk]

I'm tempted to think that more than how cheap it was they wanted a Japanese animation studio to animate the series because US animation in the 80's was horrible, really bad animation. Anime in the 80's was the opposite, it was really well done.

[@nuclearcatbaby1131]

Why would Japanese animation necessarily be any cheaper? Japan isn’t some sweatshop Southeast Asian country.

[@ijansk]

@@nuclearcatbaby1131 Japanese animators, at least in the 80's were exceptionally good but underpaid. That's why the US sought some of their series to be animated in Japan. Cheap and good.

[@SirBuzz]

The animation director looks like Jeffrey Dahmer!

[@amsooldnot]

atleast Casper wasn't the ghostbusters sidekick ! that would be stupid , unoriganal , and be boring.
