Show Summary

Edit Summary »

Based on the Tim Burton fim Beetlejuice (1988), this series borrowed several characters and concepts from the movie but took great liberties with them (as was necessary to create a program suitable for children). Beetlejuice is a ghost from "The Neitherworld," the land of the dead - he's a trickster and a... more »

    Beetlejuice... Beetlejuice... Beetlejuice... What a concept! hide « show »

    You got to love this cartoon show. I mean, what's in it that you cannot love? You got a creepy, disgusting and sly ghost, who's best friend is a goth girl who loves his jokes, and loves to visit him in the Neitherworld, because her world is just too boring for her. The animation is amazing, and the humour just cracks us up when Beetlejuice starts to shoot jokes, while trying to create a problem of his own, and Lydia ends up saving his dead skin. I think that this is definitely one of the best cartoon series that was ever produced in the end of 80's. Not only is funny, but it also gives us a funnier picture of what the movie would have been, if BJ wasn't the main villain of it. Great show!

    7.9 Good

    Beetlejuice is a ghost from the land of the dead - he's a trickster and a swindler, but underneath it all he has a heart. His best friend Lydia is a very kind-hearted living girl into goth. Together they made the perfect pair. hide « show »

    I loved this animated series based on the movie, which I loved to watch from time to time. The story line is shaped a little different but still have some similar things to the movie. I loved all the episodes I saw even though I do not think I saw them all when airing on television. For any kids who like Beetlejuice and think he cool, this series is great for you. It a good show to watch when kids have free time on their hands. I think it might be on YouTube, so try this website. I was unhappy to see this series over but I was glad I saw it.

    Off the wall and definitely out there. hide « show »

    Beetlejuice is a cartoon series based (very loosely) on the movie (that was also weird but good). This was a one of a kind series. The characters were really different and funny. This show was loaded with sight gags and puns. I really enjoyed it when it was on. The artwork was good if a little bit on the simple side. The stories were either good, o.k., or not so good. Kind of hit and miss sometimes. Overall it was a good show. You never knew what to expect. I hate they canceled it, but I guess the popularity of the show just wasn't there.

    i love BeetleJuice he was funni as hell. hide « show »

    i always thought that BeetleJuice was one of the funniest movies and shows. i think the mayjor reason is because he was so weird i didnt understand him at all and it was fun to see what he was gonna do next and i was always curious to see if Lydia could stop him and usually she did but i think that one of the seens i remember the most are when Beetle juice gets chased by the sand worm just because it was like oh he has a weakness. over all i like the show its a classic and it was funni BeetleJuice he one cool dude and Lydia she one fly lady ha ha ha.

    I always found it prett funny back when it was on. hide « show »

    I can't say that would feel the same if I watched it now, because I'm not sure if I would find the same jokes humorous. I really watched it when it was on in the afternoon after the Saturday morning slot, I was never awake that early on Saturday's. I'm sure some of the humor is timeless and would still be funny, it was just them getting into goofy adventures. I almost would say I liked this cartoon even better than the movie. It was a decent shows, and they made the characters get into all sorts of different adventures.
