The Other Ghostbusters Intro

This batch of Ghostbusters was an animated television series created by Filmation and launched following the success of the Columbia Pictures live-action Ghostbusters movie. It ran from 1986-1988 in syndication and comprised of 65 episodes. The cartoon was based on a live-action television show from the 1970s titled The Ghost Busters. It is not to be confused with the animated show The Real Ghostbusters; which was based on the 1984 movie Ghostbusters. Columbia Pictures had to obtain the rights to the name from Filmation for its film, and after it was a hit, Filmation went into production with its animated series based on the characters from its series. The series is technically called simply “Ghostbusters”, but home video releases use the name “Filmation’s Ghostbusters” to avoid confusion.
