Movie Reviews

Nostalgia done right - Great treatment for classic series
Simon | Brampton, ON | 12/13/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Finally. After some meager single disc releases and a two-episode tease on the Ghostbusters Double Feature Gift Set (Ghostbusters/ Ghostbusters 2 and Commerative Book), The Real Ghostbusters finally makes a proper arrival on DVD, and does so in style. This isn't some hack release thrown together for a quick buck - Time Life and Sony really went all out to give RGB the proper treatment, including Steelbook packaging, visual commentaries, interviews with the key talents, and more.

As mentioned by other reviewers, you can already grab the complete series set from the Time Life website, which has all 5 volumes, an exclusive Firehouse box and bonus disc. But if you're low on cash or only want a little RGB to satisfy that nostalgia craving, Volume 1 arguably gives you the most bang for your buck out of all the volumes. This set packs 30 episodes, the first 13 of which are the classic ABC season 1 shows, including memorable ghosts the Boogieman, Samhain, and Sandman. The Ghostbusters go Hollywood, Janine gets a genie, and Peter tells the story of how Slimer came to live in the firehouse. The other 17 episodes start the Season 1 syndicated package, including the episode "Knock Knock." The animation is at its strongest, Lorenzo Music and Arsenio Hall are on the cast, and the writing is at its best.

Individual volumes or complete series set, The Real Ghostbusters is a must buy on DVD. The show holds up much better than most 80s fare, and is great for original and new fans alike."
Finally, another option!

"For those who don't know, Time Life picked up the rights to release the entire Real Ghostbusters series (including the Slimer & the Real Ghostbusters episodes), and are offering a complete series set available only on their website (with an MSRP of around $175-180.) Luckily for fans that don't want to drop 2 bills on the complete series, or for those who just want a single season of the show, they've decided to also release (at least) the first season as a separate set available at most retailers including Amazon. This is the perfect option for those who weren't happy with Sony's Best of discs, and are ready to mortgage their home for the complete series. Here's to hoping they release the other seasons separately as well.

As for the show, it's an interesting entry in the genre of 80s film cartoon spin-offs, with well written episodes and generally interesting animation. Though the show is visually a little different from the films, it's a great expansion of the characters and world. This 5-disc set contains the first 30 episodes, 5 commentaries, a collectible booklet, and a very nice steel case package."
It's Slime Time!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Real Ghostbusters was a difinitive series in that it was a major predacesor to the first TMNT animated series and was considerably dark for a Saturday morning children's cartoon. Some of the Ghostbusters' ememies were borrowed from popular mythology,(ie the above mentioned Boogeyman, Sandman and Samhain, the spirit of Halloween, and even the four horsemen of the apocolyps), and some of the ghosts were down right scarey. I agree with my fellow reviewers, this is a great set for those who are tight on cash but would like to enjoy some good ol' 1908's style ecto plasmic skull bustin' as Ray might say. Power up your Proton Pack, dust off your PKE Meter and get ready for ghost busting nostalgia at it's best."
THE cartoon of the 80's finally on DVD!

Set a year after the Ghostbusters fought Gozer, the awesome four known as Peter Venkmen (Voiced by Lorenzo Music), Ray Stanz (Voiced by Frank Welker), Winston Zeddimore (Voiced by Arsino Hall) and Egon Spengler (Voiced by Maurice LaMaurre) now joined with friendly ghost Slimer (Voiced by Frank Welker) and with secretary Janine (voiced by Laura Summer) to fight the many forces of evil in the world.

A truly brilliant animated spin-off of the classic 1984 hit movie that suprised everyone around the world. In 1985 Columbia teamed up with DiC to do an animated series based on the movie as it premiered in 1986 to great ratings and acclaim from kids to adults thanks to the brilliant smart writing, excellent characterizations, humor and of course quality animation. It lasted from 1986 to 1992 as it became the true best cartoon of the 80's besides "Transformers" and "G.I. Joe", DIC's truest great cartoon show besides "Inspector Gadget" and "Sonic The Hedgehog" for it holds up very well thanks to Youtube viewing.
