The color and artwork in this one is excellent.
He finds that easier said than done as people freak out when they see him! This Technicolor cartoon would look really good with a nice restoration job as has been done with Looney Tunes and Popeye cartoons. Hence, the title 'the friendly ghost.' He would even sit and read a book called, 'How To Win Friends.' The story is about how he gets disgusted with his fellow ghosts and one night decides to leave his house to go out and try to make friends in the world. However, Casper preferred to stay home and NOT scare people. The narrator even gives the viewers the option of believing in ghosts, saying if you do, you'll like the story and if you don't well.just pretend you do! Who says people weren't 'tolerant' in the 'old days?' The basic premise is that all the ghosts in the haunted house would go out each night and scare people.
This cartoon has historic value in that it is the first 'Casper' animated short, so they give a short introduction about the main character.
