Details about the new animated Ghostbusters are scarce, but those who loved the 80s classic The Real Ghostbusters and its 2D animation may be disappointed to learn that the animated series will be 3D. Variety also notes that word is that the show will be tonally consistent with the latest Ghostbusters movie, so don’t expect any classic SNL cast humor.
Jason Reitman and Gil Kennan, who co-wrote the two new Ghostbusters movies, Afterlife and Ice Empire, also serve as executive producers on the series, so the show will be tonally similar to those two. It’s no surprise that the two works are closer.
The animated series would actually be the third installment in the series, with Ghostbusters Extreme being released a few years after The Real Ghostbusters, although the animated series was nowhere near as good as the original. It was also the last entry in the series before the 2016 “Ghostbusters” reboot. Apparently, after the 2021 “Ghostbusters” reboot, “Afterlife” is another soft reboot. “Afterlife” is the 1989 “Ghostbusters 2” A direct sequel.
“Afterlife” did pretty well at the box office, grossing $204 on a $75 million budget, but this year’s “Frozen” didn’t do so well, grossing $202 million on a $100 million budget. Before the animated series hits theaters, we’ll have to see if the Ghostbusters will travel to the afterlife.
