SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Purely Joyful Movie!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I loved this show as a kid, and as an adult, it's possible I love it even more. The Beetlejuice/Lydia relationship is cute and sweet indeed, but what takes it over the top is the fact that one half of the duo is a supernatural entity with magic powers and the other is a human girl with a fondness for the macabre. Their adventures together, both in our world and in the Neitherworld, are imaginative and will make you wonder what you would do if you could summon a ghost at your whim.The second version of the series' intro, beginning with episode 30, is quite possibly the best animated intro I've ever seen. The animation therein is darker than it is in the cartoon itself, and that is where you get a real nod to Beetlejuice's film counterpart. The intro begins with a beetle crawling inside the nose of a surreal-looking Beetlejuice face (eyes closed), while Lydia chants his name. On the second mention, Beetlejuice opens his eyes; on the third, we're shown a grave site. Lightning strikes the ground and the titular character bursts from the soil and shouts "It's show- time." It's really quite striking, and I wish they could develop a series today in that darker style.My favourite episodes are the ones that involve a lot of interaction between BJ and Lydia, particularly the ones where they travel between the two worlds multiple times. The duality of life and death, with sweet child and wicked ghost not only co-existing but enjoying one another, is what sets this show alight. Of course it does have a great deal of silly, corny humour and sight gags, as other reviewers have mentioned, but it's done in a very campy way that I find charming. You grow to love it because it's Beetlejuice's personality.Some ask the question of how BJ and Lydia could possibly be friends after the events of the film. My question is rather whose idea it was to make them friends in the cartoon, because it really ended up working out. Stephen Ouimette (BJ) stated in an interview that when recording dialogue, he and Alyson Court (Lydia) would perform the dialogue "first and together". This is apparent--their interaction is genuine and it's easy to imagine them really having those conversations, rather than reading lines to themselves.All in all, great show. If you're an adult, it will likely take your mind off of the mundane for a bit. If you're a child, you may be tempted to try Lydia's chant for yourself.

This show is so great. It possesses childish humor that is sophisticated enough to still be appealing to older children, teens and adults. Great vocabulary and puns make this show even better. The dynamic duo of Beetlejuice and Lydia Deetz is fantastic, they have this chemistry that can only be achieved between best friends. With good values being taught through the conflicts in each episode, this is a show fit for all ages. The wildly obnoxious Beetlejuice and the adventurous and sarcastic Lydia explore through the Neitherworld as partners in crime. I love this duo, and their adventures in each and every episode. This is a show fit for any Burton fan that still is a bit of a kid at heart.

"Beetlejuice" is the animated TV series based on the popular 1988 Tim Burton movie of the same name; Burton's original 1988 horror-comedy masterpiece "Beetlejuice" is my #8 favorite movie of all time. The cartoon series was a favorite of mine growing up, and even then I knew it was vastly different from its source material (which seems to raise more than a few issues about the continuity between the two, and people's overall enjoyment of the show).I personally enjoyed the show a lot when I was a kid when I could catch it on TV, but it's no Tim Burton "Beetlejuice" ("Beetlejuice" the cartoon was obviously made to cash in on the movie's success, and Burton's increasing popularity in the wake of the "Beetlejuice" movie and "Batman").Like the movie, the animated "Beetlejuice" cartoon series follows the adventures of the title character (played in the live-action film by Michael Keaton), an undead trouble-making specter who in the 1988 film was the primary antagonist of a deceased Connecticut couple (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) who called upon the "Ghost with the Most" to rid their home of its obnoxious new tenants (a family from New York City consisting of Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O'Hara, and Winona Ryder). In the series, Beetlejuice has returned and is now best buds with Lydia. There's no animosity between the two and their adventures consist mostly of them and their encounters with other ghastly ghouls and spirits in the land of the undead.There's not a whole lot to truly hate about "Beetlejuice," other than the fact that it was toned-down significantly from the original live-action movie (the titular character's constant swearing, and weird & lecherous behavior), which did at times push the limits of its "PG" rating. But being that it's only a kid's show, that's only to be expected. Just watch the movie if you love "Beetlejuice" so much.Dare you say his name three times!8/10

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.
