GHOSTBUSTERS ANIMATED VOLUME 1 TV DVD REVIEW



A blurb from Entertainment Rights/BCI about Ghostbusters Animated Volume 1: With the rallying cry of “Let’s Go, Ghostbusters! Jake Kong and Eddie Spenser Jr. are following in their father’s footsteps and have teamed-up with the original gorilla sidekick, Tracy, to become the new Ghostbusters!

Its 1986, Two popular Ghostbusters films have been released. Producer Lou Scheimer now regrets giving the theatrical rights to the Ghostbusters name. What a great animated series! Released in 1986, the series is in a way a sequel to the original live-action Ghostbusters TV series that starred Forrest Tucker, Larry Storch and Bob Burns. The animated show uses the sons of Kong and Tracy to carry on the family name. This set comprises the first 33 episodes of the series. The set also contains interviews with the cast & crew of the series along with the promo pilot for the show along with a bonus episode from the live-action series.
