Casper 1996

[Annemie]

Casperis an action-adventure game based on the 1995 film of the same name. Two different games were released in 1996 and 1997 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, by different publishers, in different regions. A third game was released for the 3DO (the final release for that system), Sega Saturn, PlayStation, and Game Boy Color, published by Interplay Productions. There was also a Game Boy game and a PlayStation sequel, Casper: Friends Around the World.

Casper is a game developed by Absolute Entertainment and published by Natsume for the Super NES. The player controls Casper who is followed by Kat Harvey, and he has to protect her from any danger. Being a ghost, Casper can pass through walls and other obstacles, unlike in most Casper games, but he can't go away from Kat too much or else Carrigan's ghost will abduct her.

The game follows loosely the plot of the movie. This game uses a revised Absolute A Boy and His Blob engine. Picking up special objects allows Casper to morph into these objects to clear rooms of enemies, and to protect Kat from certain hazards. Mirrors placed throughout the game allows Casper and Kat travel to other parts of mansion, and outside electrical lines allow Casper to pick up the last of the toys when he picks up the electric bolt morph.

The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper was an Animated Series that ran from 1996 to 1998, created by Universal Cartoon Studios, and aired on Fox Kids as a modern update of Casper the Friendly Ghost. It was a Sequel Series to the earlier Casper feature film.

Casper was born in Birkerd, Denmark in 1968. In 1987, he bought a tape Of American stand up comedian Steve Martin. Casper admired the Oscar-host to-be greatly. As did his co-workers on _Casper & Mandrilaftalen (1999)_, Frank Hvam, Lasse Rimmer and Lars Hjortshj, Casper started out in stand-up comedy. His work in this business led to a deal with Danish TV-network DR, and Casper started doing a children's show called Hvaffor en hnd (1991). After doing a couple of shows for the young Danish people, Casper hit the big time with quiz show _"Husk lige tandbrsten" (1994)_, which he hosted, with help from Annette Toftgrdm whom he later married. _"Husk lige tandbrsten" (1994)_ had made Casper the darling of Danish television. A status which was jeopardized with Casper's follow-up: Safari (1996), which he made with his friend Lars Hjortshj. All though the show was not a hit with the average Danish family, Casper wasn't any less enthusiastic about his career. He hosted the Danish grammys, but again the average Dane was outraged at Casper, as the public deemed certain jokes from the show too rough.Three years after breaking through with _"Husk lige tandbrsten" (1994)_, Casper teamed up with a few friends, and made Tskeholdet (1997). Casper's sense of humor hadn't changed, but the Danish public was getting used to it, and the show, which aired both in the radio in the morning and on TV on late evenings was a major hit, and Casper was back on top. The show aired on DR, but the concept was bought by competing TV-station TV2. What came of this was Darios Joint (1998), which went down the same road as Safari (1996). At this point, Casper decided something that would mark a radical change in his career and a new start with a new attitude towards his status.Casper thought everything over, and he decided that he would no longer care about how many viewers he had on his shows. He would base his work around what he personally wanted to do, and what he personally thought was funny. He opted for a new start, and the TV-network was DR2. A small station, which agreed to give Casper the freedom to do exactly what he wanted to do. Casper gathered a team of fellow stand-up comedians, some of which Casper had worked with before. The team that was eventually put together consisted of: Lars Hjortshj, Casper's co-star from Safari (1996), Frank Hvam, who had written for different TV-shows, and had caught Casper's attention and Lasse Rimmer, a rather new name on Danish TV. The project ended up as Casper & Mandrilaftalen (1999). It received cult status, and was to be re-run several times, each time with a growing number of viewers tuning in. Then in 2001, Casper and Frank Hvam wrote and starred in the first real Danish sitcom, Langt fra Las Vegas (2001).

Casper is a well-to-do and friendly ghost who sees the best in everyone and tries to become friends. He is mostly seen as a loner in most of his films, especially trying to make friends with children who are not scared of him. Revealed in some of the comics, Casper actually had enjoyed scaring humans (or "Fleshies" as the ghosts called them). However, he got rather bored with it and eventually became the friendly ghost everyone knows today. Due to this, Casper was good friends with those he befriended. Even when things get hard for Casper and his friends, he does whatever it takes to make it up to them. For example in the 1998 film, Casper Meets Wendy, Wendy immediately blamed Casper for telling the Trio that her aunts and her couldn't use magic. Casper does his hardest to make up to her, especially trying to save her from the Wizard who vowed to destroy her.

Some people take advantage of Casper's friendliness, especially the Trio, who dislike that their nephew is different from mall the other ghosts. In one of the cartoons, a little cat was terrorizing a dog and pretended to act as if the dog was the one responsible. Casper fell for most of the little cat's antics against the dog, but he eventually saw the cat made the dog act like the bad guy.

Despite his friendliness, Casper is highly annoyed by his uncles, the Ghostly Trio's and his cousin, Spooky's antics. There are several times where Casper sometimes drives away from his reputation as being the "Friendliest ghost you know." In one episode of the old Casper cartoons, he pretended to consume "Mean Pills" that the Ghostly Trio fed him and pretended to be a devil child and terrorize them. Casper reveals he never actually took the pill and actually did that to teach his uncles a lesson.

In the 1995 film, Casper was given the last name McFadden. He later appeared in the 1996 TV series, The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper. This was the first theatrical film version of Casper, as well as the only Adaptations where Casper was seen in his human form. Unlike the cartoons and comics, where ghost are separate species from the human race like Goblins and ghouls, this version of Casper and the 1997 direct to video "prequels," Casper is a deceased human.

Another version of Casper appears in the 1997 direct to video of Casper: A Spirited Beginning and it's sequel, Casper Meets Wendy, where he is voiced by Jeremy Foley. It established that the trio and Casper are not related but rather , the trio "adopted" him into their family.

Here, Casper must scare a someone before Christmas, or he and his uncles will be banished to the darkness by Kibosh. However, when Casper failed after befriending human girl Holly Jollimore, the trio pick their nephew, Spooky, Casper's cousin, and use him to trick Kibosh into thinking Casper did turn into the scary ghost he wanted him to be. Later, to get back at the trio for using Spooky, Casper and Spooky team up with the latter's girlfriend, Poil. They scare the trio off, and since Casper scared his uncles, Kibosh makes this an exception.

At the time that principal filming wrapped on Casper, a sequel was proposed and a treatment was written, but a combination of less-than-stellar box office gross (although the film grossed $100 million in the US, the budget was more than half of that total and analysts predicted much higher earnings for the film) and the fact that both Christina Ricci and Bill Pullman were attached to other projects after Casper and would not be available until more than a year later caused the idea to be scrapped. The producers then decided to abandon the live-action sequel ideas and instead developed this cartoon series to continue the story.

The show aired on Fox Kids television from 1996-1998 for 3 seasons. 52 episodes were produced, but only the first 46 appeared on FOX, with the remaining debuting on FOX Family Channel. Many of the same people who worked on this show also worked on Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain (the latter of which was a spin-off from the former; coincidentally, the former had also debuted on FOX).
