1. Beetlejuice: The Animated Series

Beetlejuice Cartoon

The animated series that followed a year after the original film made its theatrical release is without a doubt, to my mind, the coolest cartoon show this era ever produced. Tim Burton developed his bio-exorcist character into Saturday morning gold with Danny Elfman returning to score the music as well. The series remained faithful to the wild imagination of the film while setting it apart with most of the show taking place in Beetlejuice’s home of the wacky Neitherworld. The void felt by the absence of Barbara and Adam was filled with new characters, the neighbors of the ghost with the most, who furthered BJ’s awesome sense of sarcasm, with most of them being both clumsy and easy to poke fun at. The relationship between Lydia Deetz and BJ in the series, unlike the film, was as close as friends could get and remained a constant crucial part of the show throughout the series run from 1989-1991. What I wouldn’t give for a revival of this beautiful program. Don’t you agree?
