Casper's Scare School is a French–American computer-animated series based on the computer-animated film of the same name featuring the Harvey Comics cartoon character Casper the Friendly Ghost. The series premiered in Canada on YTV on January 11, 2009, and then in France on TF1's TFOU block on April 1, 2009, and later in the United States on Cartoon Network on October 4, 2009.
The second season aired in 2012 with a new opening sequence, a new voice cast and a slightly different CGI animation style. 52 episodes were produced.
This season is considered by many to be worse than the first because of the poorly written plots and mainly the bad character development.
Bad Qualities
- This season contains many continuity errors, such as Wolfie not knowing who Jimmy is in "Our Boy Wolfie" even though he already met him in Season 1 and even helped him once.
- Another big problem is the plots of the episodes, which are mostly generic and uninteresting, which ended up giving several bad episodes for almost the entire season.
- Despite the series' title, this season focuses too much on Deedstown, sometimes even more than Scare School.
- Due to the change in the voice cast, the voice acting ended up being terrible and sometimes even grating, since almost all of them are extremely annoying and shrill, not to mention that this time the cast is much smaller than before because of the budget spent on animation.
- As if it couldn't get any worse, the episodes are now full of generic and petty jokes.
- While some characters have improved, some have been heavily flanderized in this season, including Casper himself.
- Speaking of Casper, as incredible as it may seem, this season, he intentionally SCARES HUMANS and has no problem doing so, which not only completely escapes Casper's personality in the previous season and movie, but also the main characteristic of the original character.
- Thatch has gotten a lot goofier and antagonistic than the previous season, so much that he now replaces Alder & Dash as the main antagonist.
- This season reuses Season 1's models a lot, like Pumpkinhead's friend in "Pumpkinpal", which is the exact same monster Casper created in "Frankenleftovers".
- Mickey and Monaco, two characters who are the twin skeletons that were already annoying in the movie and Season 1, managed to get worse than ever and very unbearable in this season. It doesn't help that they've become recurring characters.
- Wolfie, one of the recurring characters in Season 1 and a close friend of Casper's, hardly plays any major role in this Season, the same goes for Quasi, Slither, Harpy and especially Flyboy, who only had ONE speaking role in the entire Season.
- The last episode, "Mummy's Boy", was a terrible way to end the show as it left it on a cliffhanger.
Good Qualities
- Fortunately, some characters ended up being more likable and tolerable than they were in Season 1, like Mosshead, Thurdigree Burns, and notably the principals, and Alder & Dash, who had their antagonistic role replaced by Thatch.
- Some minor characters also got more prominence this Season than the previous one, notably Pumpkinhead, Blodge and Triclops, who even got their own episodes ("Pumpkinpal", "Radio Blodge" and "Triclops Mistress of Darkness").
- Despite the large amount of bad and mediocre plots, it still managed to generate some decent episodes, like "Monster Movie" which was even a good way to start the Season.
- Ra, Mantha, and Jimmy & Graham Bradley still remain likeable characters.
- The animation has improved a lot compared to the previous Season, with characters now having better movements and more facial expressions, as well as having a better camera angle.
- Despite the bad scripts, the writing of the characters' lines at least got better, the same goes for the pace of the episodes.
- Now has a unique transition type, different from how it was in Season 1.
