10 Things You Didn't Know About Beetlejuice The Series

[@PaperHamburgers]

I love that Tim Burton wasn’t like “omg how dare you turn my film into a children’s cartoon??!?” He was just like yeh kids need weird stuff too, let me produce it!

[@DrDeadsy42]

This cartoon was the reason why I myself started drawing comics and made this even into a career (for 11 years). It's been definitely the most influential cartoon show of my life.

[@Juel13]

I remember drawing ones specifically from this show when I was in fifth grade. That cusp between still wanting to do kid stuff and wanting to act all grown up. I wonder if any stayed in storage at my folks' house. I know I tried to save SOME artwork from those days.

[@profesa-rsk]

my inspiration was Garfield and then Ninja Turtles came out! lol

[@chombymas7472]

Have you published any of your comics yet?

[@DrDeadsy42]

@@chombymas7472 Yes, as I said, I‘ve lived from it for years. My first cartoon was published in a magazine, then my second started as an online comic and was later printed in 3 books.

[@DrDeadsy42]

[@MosHighChadro]

"I'm the ghost with the most babe" I always loved that line. I was definitely a fan of the show as a "youngin".

[@swordvaporcat]

My sister LOVED this cartoon. She did an acrylic painting of this cartoon Beetlejuice on the back of her denim jacket. This was after I had painted Mok from Rock N Rule on the back of MY jacket in college. And Rock N Rule was also produced by Nelvana.

[@JoeyMulvaney]

Rock n rule... haven't heard of that in years..

[@MissDesdemona]

I enjoyed this cartoon as a kid. You mentioned how much children enjoyed Tim Burton’s work back then and I think it was the spooky genre as a whole. Kids (and adults) love spooky stuff. I think it’s why Grim and Mandy was so popular.

[@trinaq]

I vaguely remembered the animated series, but now the memories are flooding back. I also recall a "Jumanji", "Dumber and Dumber" and "Ace Ventura" cartoon series.

Danny Elfman did the score for Beetlejuice, Dick Tracey, Batman '89, Raimi's Spider-man 1 & 2 and The Simpsons theme. That man is an absolute legend

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

But try and hummm or sing any of those themes. Good luck with that. Now try to hummm or sings a John William's tune or Jerry Goldsmith. And that's the difference.

[@charlestonjew7587]

Also Raimi's 'Darkman'.

Agreed, but John Williams is probably more of a legend

[@Quickstrike1981]

i remember this series, was awesome, we had the best cartoons in the 80s & 90s

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

So true, from 1976-1982 had so many blahhhh cartoons. Hanna Barbera had great ones from the 60s and 70s but by 76 everything was repackaged Scooby Do and it was just not great. He-Man was the first revival of good cartoons and the perfect Thundercats, and not bad GI Joe then Beetle Juice and Animaniacs and the non-stop hits on Disney's One Saturday Morning with the outstanding Recesses, the fun Doug, and Pepper Ann.

That's a great observation and kinda obvious in retrospect -- but nobody else seems to have thought of it! Nice catch!

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Plus, the adult in-joke, regardless. For goodness sake, sentient were-car Doomie (its full name is Dragster of Doom, but its shorthand name sounds like a request for sex ["Do me"]) was literally made in the vein of Frankenstein's Monster (using discarded car parts & an abnormal brain, hence the car's ability to shift into a were-car when prompted), with BJ as the hunchbacked Igor to Lydia as a female version of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, effectively making BJ & Lydia the creators/"parents" of Doomie. The cartoon still has BJ fixated on Lydia (with a shrine of her inside his mind, managed by his mild-mannered, dweeby Will Power), but Lydia herself, too, also seemed fond of "Mr. Beetleman" (as Lydia's parents referred to him as, since he appeared as a jack-of-all-trades handy man doing odd jobs for the Deetzes just to be closer to Lydia). Lydia: "A spider brooch?! Oh, I could kiss you!" ~Beetlejuice reveals his mouth full of dingy teeth & chock full of beetles~ Lydia: "But I'll just give you a big hug instead." Lydia: "Oh, Betelguese! If we can't be together this summer, I'll scream!' BJ: "Scream anyway Babes, I like having that effect on people!" ~Lydia being enamored with a Boris Karloff spoof character, prompting a jealous BJ to sulk & comment on the matter~ BJ: "And here I thought you had better taste in dead guys (obviously referring to himself)." Edgar Allen Poe: "Woe is me!" BJ: "No, Poe is you." Edgar Allen Poe: "Lost forever more!" BJ: "Yeah, yeah. We heard it all before: You lost your precious love Lenore [1] ." Edgar Allen Poe: "No! I lost YOUR precious Lydia!" BJ: "What?!" Edgar Allen Poe: "And when I lose them, I really lose them." ~Both Edgar Allen Poe & BJ cry, as the scene shifts to Lydia returning with the lost Lenore~ 1. Incidentally, the "Lenore" in question - although obviously reimagined in the _Bettlejuice_ cartoon as a teal-skinned Neitherworld female zombie archetype (strangely modeled after Winona Ryder, kind of) clearly exasperated at the famous horror novelist for his bad sense of direction (contrast this to the now more recognizable adorable little blond girl ghoul of _Lenore, the Little Dead Girl_ fame) - was, in real-life, Edgar Allen Poe's younger, 13-year-old first cousin, whom the famed horror author had a taboo fixation for, despite her still being a minor & he already having reached adulthood. BJ: "Don't worry, Babes! I'll save you from that overgrown jungle exhibit!" Lydia: "Thing Thong (an obvious KIng Kong giant ape parody) is my friend!" BJ: "That ugly thing?" Lydia: "He's not ugly, he's beautiful." BJ: "All I see is a big, ugly hairball & you see something beautiful?" Lydia: "Well, I think you're beautiful." BJ: "I believe this snotrag is yours, miss---I didn't catch your name?" Lydia (in disguise): "I didn't throw it. Come to this address... ~she rattles off a nondescript address meanwhile still clearly flirting with BJ~ ...I have a very juicy bribe to give you." BJ: "One thing still bothers me though, who was that mysterious chick in the veil?" Lydia: ~does her flirty voice~ "Darling, I thought you'd never ask." ~BJ falls over in mock shock~ BJ: "Et tu, Babes?"

We had no family or friends up there no money for child care so I spent HOURS watching this in our car in a portable camping TV with rabbit ears while my parents worked as they did construction and many of their jobs did not have a completed room that would be safe for me to play in. So mom and dad left the AC or heat on depending on the weather. I had a blanket and pillows in the back and a cooler with snacks and drinks and would camp and play with my toys and watch Beetljuce. Literally one of my earliest core memories. We were super poor but we were actually happy at that point in time. This show got me through a very tough but happy time in my childhood. The short time my parents got along after I was born.

I don't think the biggest deviation is Beetlejuice becoming the good guy or friend cuz I think that was always possible I think the biggest deviation is not having the maitlands in it

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

The thing is, Burton felt The Maitlands were too dull & boring to focus an animated show around (despite their being the main characters in the 1988 film), since most people equate the _Beetlejuice_ IP overall with Burton himself (and his grimdark aesthetic), Winona Ryder's suicidal emo-turned-perky goth chick Lydia Deetz, and Michael Keaton's seedy, lecherous, faux bio-exorcist, conman poltergiest named after the red giant star in the "armpit" of the constellation Orion the Hunter more than they do anything else (sans maybe Catherine O'Hara as Lydia's modernist avant garde artiste stepmother Delia Deetz).

There were some shows that had strong female characters, like Jem and the Holograms and She-ra, and some that were male dominated, but had a token female character who was strong, Ahh, Real Monsters.

One of a kind series...a little girl who lived with a demonic being who often takes her to hell....and she Loves it

[@animeknight8958]

the one thing i know about the show is how i saw this first as a kid, then watched the movie years later and realize that Adam and Barbara weren't in it nor Lydia and Beetlejuice became friends..... Also (as i want to be one of those viewers who would find error in your videos) Doomie doesn't actually talk in the show. He makes noises but don't talk

[@Drew-dd5nh]

The big orange monster across the street is definitely the same orange monster in bugs bunny. The one Bugs put dynamite sticks for curlers in his hair.

[@redjack9999]

Not to be too nit-picky but as a Canuck I think I should point out the animation studio's name is pronounced as Nell-Vanna. They also put out the theatrical movie Rock & Rule.

He made me wonder if I have been saying it wrong my whole life, then I remembered his specialty is saying names wrong.

Now I'm gonna go listen to a Nir-vinna album

Huge Burton fan. And this show was some of his best work imo. Such a fan that I have numerous Burton characters tatt’d on my back.

2:35 I remember those toys, you put something in the casket and it will disappear

[@NoddtheOdd]

I loved how most anything Beetlejuice said, happened. Like when a couple witches stole something from him, he yelled "Stop, you old bags!" The witches turned into a couple of old ladies' purses xD

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Even when he lost his memory in _Forget-Me Nuts_ when he transforms, he humorously comments, "This literal translation stuff kills me! Again."

[@Rkatondonegal]

Minty, for your next video, you should do the “Back to the Future” cartoon.

[@steve-0493]

Im going back in time!!!🎶 Awesome-tacular 😂🤣😜✌️🥃

[@thesmokingburrito9097]

Did I hear " Poultry-geist" ?!...🤔😃😆😅😂 That's just...awesome. Thanks Minty.

[@sjmhadsock4586]

Also fun fact the show also was on both Nickelodeon and cartoon network

[@alluraarwenundomiel5724]

I remembered the cartoon show more than the movie, same with Ghost Busters. The movies are great, but i love the cartoon shows more.

[@realtorjim]

Start the video over. Close your eyes and listen to the description of the cartoon…. Sounds almost exactly like Rick and Morty.

[@timoaks3732]

Some of my most favorite toys as a young kid were the official Beetlejuice toys. So naturally the cartoon was also one of my favorites for a time in the very early 90s.

[@ciscodeer9094]

I loved this this animated series. men are beautiful too

[@awkwardsilence4427]

I have vague memories of this. I remember the intro really well, and a lot of the characters, but next to nothing about any of the plots of any episodes. Given when the show aired though, that makes sense as I was like 2-4 years old then.

[@shuichiminamino5788]

I used to love this show lol

[@DecoytheSkeletalBoy]

The intro animation, in particular the one done for the later half of the series still remains some of the best traditional animation I've ever seen and I frequently look it up just to marvel at how well it's done.

[@sonicpsycho13]

I loved the show as a kid. I tried revisiting as an adult in the mid-00s and it's best kept in the past. The whole thing was felt like BJ making constant 4th wall breaking puns.

[@shuichiminamino5788]

I had beetle juice action figure

[@WiltonWanderlust]

Thank you for making this video! I was in 7th, 8th and 9th grade when this aired and I (and my goth best friend, lol) loved it just as much as younger kids did. As a matter of fact, now at 48 years old, I have found the cartoon series on Tubi and I"ve been binge-watching it and I enjoy it now just as much as I did way back then, but now it has a more nostalgic feel. I also loved the movie and I still do and I'm looking forward to the new one.

[@jeremycheely6585]

i wish i could find these to watch

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

That's a very good wish.

[@xarporte]

They sell the whole series on DVD

[@MartyMcFly88]

So excited for the Beetlejuice sequel in September!!! The teaser trailer looks awesome.
