Overview[]
They're back! The continuing animated adventures of Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore, and Dr. Egon Spengler as they track down and capture rogue ghosts, supernatural spirits, spooks, and specters that haunt New York City.
The Real Ghostbusters was an extremely popular and long-running American produced animated comedy-fantasy cartoon TV series with Maurice LaMarche, Dave Coulier, Frank Welker, and Arsenio Hall contributing as the primary voice actors. This cartoon series was intended as a sequel/continuation of the blockbuster hit 1984 film, Ghostbusters.
It was retitled due to a legal dispute between the franchise and a minor lesser known Filmation live action series, The Ghost Busters first released in 1975 and lasted less than a single season. Columbia Pictures had to pay a considerable fee to allow them to use the name for the unrelated 1984 live action film which apparently spurred Filmation to launch a revamped cartoon version of the original series which debuted in 1986 as well, presumably to cash in on the similarities of the Ghostbusters Franchise and tied up the rights to the name for the cartoon series. This instead prompted the producers to defiantly rebrand the series as "The Real Ghostbusters".
The character of Slimer, a supporting character of the series was so popular that a spin-off cartoon was created that focused solely on the character's adventures resulted in it being repackaged for syndication as an expanded hour-long format with the first 30 minute segment focusing on the Ghostbusters and the second 30 minute segment consisting of comedic shorts of Slimer from the fourth season onward with the repackaged syndicated format was retitled as "Slimer! And The Real Ghostbusters".
