She's still a Goth in the show . There is such a thing as perky Goth. Goths aren't all emo. I got what you were saying, that she's no longer mopey and depressed but she most assuredly IS a Goth.

Amanda Pike Definitely true (though I may be biased speaking as a perky Goth, lolz!) 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 I always figured that Lydia being less mopey in the show was because she was processing moving into a new house with a semi-new stepmom in the movie (and it may also be some character development since there was originally going to be a sequel to connect the movie and show before it cancelled).

He can't quiet enter our world at will. Until she summons him he's confined to mirrors, or manifesting in small form on photographs, doodles, ect... It's a recurring plot point. How else could she banish him if he can appear at will? The rule was if he is banished (summoned away with his name) he can't come back until his name is called again. It's not that once he's summoned the next day he needs to be summoned again. It's like banishing and invoking a demon or faery in folklore. Juno even said so in the movie "Without putting him back!" (meaning they didn't banish him after calling him.

This show had one of the best openings ever...the cartoon wasn’t the best but I always watched the intro

Finally someone talks about the cartoon! It's my favorite to watch especially right now on October. It's sooo underrated and I wish more fans of the movie and Burton would watch it.

I saw the cartoon before I saw the movie. I remember being so confused when the movie was focused on Adam and Barbara with Lydia nowhere to be seen. I remember making peace with it, figuring Lydia was just an invention of the cartoon, when suddenly Lydia made her dramatic entrance looking and sounding just like I imagined! Really cool moment.

1:56 think about the musical “and such a bold departure from the original source material”

Well now we have "BEETLEJUICE the musical the musical the musical"

Lydia does have to say his name 3 times to let him out of the Neitherworld/Let herself into the Neitherworld. He has been seen in the living world while unsummoned, but no one can see him and I don’t think he can’t use his powers in the living world unless someone says his name 3 times.

Nelvana are usually associated with works such as the animation in the Star Wars Holiday Special, Rock 'N Rule, the Rupert TV series from the 90's, The Adventures of TinTin and of course BaBar the Elephant. I believe that one of the company's founders Clive A Smith worked on the animation masterpiece "Yellow Submarine". There was also a cancelled "Doctor Who" project believe it or not! Which only made it as far as the pre-prod, one can only wonder what that was to be like.

I did the whole show as Columbia on crutches, which was funny unto itself, but at the curtain call I had a cast member call out "Bettyjuice" three times and I threw away the crutches...then promptly fell on my face. Great gag. Funny every time

I loved this show. Wish it would come back

We technically already have a live action musical remake its just on broadway

I love the cartoon so sooo much. It shaped much of my aweful sense of humour and dark aestethic. I wish they'd release it on dvd in Europe

Genie was...just based on Robin Williams. They developed the character by animating around one of his stand-up routines, and his references tended to be pretty rapid-fire.

Just added this channel last week. Dude, you're great. Love it.

Oh, wow. I was a huge fan of both the movie and the cartoon as a child. I never thought it was weird that the cartoon version went WAY off the original movie characterizations. I was conditioned in early childhood to accept fanfiction interpretations.

I wasn’t supposed to watch this show as a kid but I’d always turn it back to Beetlejuice I LOVE The Beej

Stephen Ouimette, Bjs VA was also in a production of Hamlet. Could be why there is so much Shakespeare in this show.

Beetlejuice is my jam. I saw the animated show first and didn't see the movie until 6th grade. I love them both, they both have their charms and they are a big part of who I became as a creator. I think Tim Burton had that effect on a lot of young creatives and still does.

omg finally someone is talking about this cartoon!
