बीटल रस

This cartoon was funny, as long as you were a fan. Beetlejuice, the character, of course, had to have some personality traits changed in order of the FCC to allow him. Such as, Beetlejuice was the good guy in the cartoon. Him and Lydia were friends. The couple, Adam and Barbara from the movie were not in this, but still, it held up...well, until they cancelled the show. I guess it wasn't show time after all...

As a kid, Beetlejuice: The Animated Series was my gateway into the weird and wonderful. I didn't fully grasp the Tim Burton film it was based on, but the cartoon? That was my jam. It was spooky without being scary, funny without being too grown-up, and just the right amount of bizarre to keep my little brain buzzing.

Looking back now, I'd give it a solid 7/10. The show takes the skeletal framework of the movie and spins it into something entirely its own. Beetlejuice is less menacing and more mischievous-a fourth-wall-breaking, pun-slinging ghost with a flair for the theatrical. His friendship with Lydia is oddly wholesome, even if their adventures in the Neitherworld are anything but.

The animation is bold and surreal, with twisted landscapes and grotesque characters that feel like they crawled out of a haunted sketchbook. As a kid, I loved how unpredictable it was-one minute you're in a sandworm-infested desert, the next you're at a monster beauty pageant. It didn't always make sense, but that was part of the fun.

Rewatching it now, I appreciate how clever some of the writing is, even if the humor leans heavily on wordplay and slapstick. It's not deep, but it's inventive. Lydia's goth-girl intellect and Beetlejuice's chaotic energy make for a dynamic duo that somehow works, even when the plot goes off the rails.

It's not for everyone, but if you like your cartoons with a dash of macabre and a whole lot of personality, Beetlejuice delivers. For me, it's a nostalgic ride through the weird side of childhood-one I'm glad I took.

Want to dig into more spooky animated series or explore how cartoons handled the supernatural back in the day? I've got a few eerie picks up my sleeve.

Yes yes, we have all seen the movie by Tim Burton, starring Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder. It was wonderful. This show is meant for kids. If you have seen the movie, there is some obsceneties, and gestures that are not meant to be seen by kids. But what Tim Burton did with this show is, make it to where its not so offensive for the kids eyes. What kids were into back then was grossing each other out and finding new means of entertainment. I think, that this was fulfilled by them watching this show. How could i know this? Because i was one of those kids. I watched this show whenever it came on. And now that i am older i watch it and show it to my kid. He's one, but he enjoy's it very much. I mean i still sit and watch it and laugh at some of the things said by the main characters. I would suggest this show to any kid or adult!! Way to go Tim!!

I used to watch this show when I was a little girl. I only remember it vaguely, though. If you ask me, it was a good show. I remember the opening sequence and theme song vaguely, too. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was very strong. The performances were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I don't think I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

A noticeable difference between the movie and the series is the absence of the house's original owners. But we can ignore that and luxuriate in the sheer weirdness that "Beetlejuice" celebrates. I always got the feeling that BJ was the only person who truly understood Lydia; her emotionally vacant dad and empty-headed stepmother never pay attention to anything, so it makes sense that Lydia befriends BJ.

Anyway, it's always fun to see BJ's and Lydia's adventures in the domain of everything that's creepy, gross, and otherwise undesirable. And you gotta love the references to pop culture, although the tykes won't get those.

Lots of fun.
