GazerRise Fantastic!
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Lee Eisenberg 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.
jokerswild1 Though quite different from the movie it's based on, this is a great show with a very quick style of humor and a lot of visual appeal. One of the intros to this show is among my favorites ever, beginning with Beetlejuice lying in his grave and upon hearing Lydia say his name three names, he bursts out of the grave and we're taken on a bizarre ride through the Neitherworld, seeing all its wacky and strange inhabitants. There were other similar intros to this show that were also great, but that one is definitely my pick for the best of them.The show is mostly gag oriented, so if you're a fan of that style of humor, you'll definitely enjoy the show. As previously said, the show is different from the movie, with Beetlejuice no longer being the villain and is instead best friends with Lydia, and Lydia herself is now more upbeat and has an interest in spooky things, rather than being the moody and worrisome girl she was in the film. The biggest difference of all is that the Maitlands, the main characters of the film, are not present in the show in any form.While not quite as fantastic as the movie, this show is still of high quality and is very enjoyable in spite of how different the two are. Some of my favorite episodes are "Skeletons in the Closet", "Out of My Mind", "Laugh of the Party", and "Spooky Boo-tique".
ShadySovereign I remember when I was around 7 years old, I got to watch the cartoon version of Beetlejuice. Boy, I loved that show! I miss it so much.I loved the way Beetlejuice was drawn as a cartoon character. He looks a lot like the Beetlejuice character from the live-action movie (take note that the movie version was made BEFORE the cartoon series).Lydia was a cute goth-girl character. I hate to say this, but she looks a lot cuter as a cartoon character than in the movie. But this doesn't mean that I like the cartoon series better than the movie; I think both the cartoon & the movie are equally great.And best of all, this show was even created by Tim Burton, the director of the original Beetle Juice movie! It's very rare that directors would actually be a part of a TV show that is based on their films.I wish I could say more about this show, but I haven't seen enough episodes and it's been a long time since I've seen this show. Hopefully the show's episodes will get released on DVD, because I will definitely buy the episodes.I give this show a 9/10.
Lisaster As is the case with many cartoons, many of the jokes are not for children. I found the animated series highly entertaining. Silly and gross are the norm. Fast paced jokes keep coming. I liked the character of Beetlejuice in the cartoons better than in the movie. I did not particularly love the movie but, the cartoon is very funny. I love the way they draw Lyds. Enjoy.
