Don't know if I ever noticed the 2-part joke before...

Otho: "I just hope it wasn't yet another of your dreary suicide attempts. You know what they about people who commit suicide, in the afterlife they become civil servants."

Harkens back to Miss Argentina and her slit wrists behind the help desk.

So if Lydia did end up killing herself, that would have been her fate. Wonder if they ever played on that in the cartoon.

I have only vague memories of the cartoon, but I don't remember it dealing much with suicides.

I've got a little 9 year old stalker who pops up at my house at odd times. I showed him Beetlejuice yesterday and he was blown away. I found it to be wildly refreshing watching the movie with this vocal little kid.

Jesus, I completely forgot there was a cartoon. I used to watch it pretty often. What a weird choice for a movie to turn into a kids cartoon.

I'd say that Rambo, The Toxic Avenger, Police Academy and RoboCop were much more unusual films to turn into cartoons aimed at kids. At least the Beetlejuice cartoons were based on a PG rated film.

I like that one of the primary bits it took from the film was the "romance" between Lydia and Beetlejuice. And by like I mean "blech."

Whatever you do DON'T go to Deviant Art and look up Beetlejuice. You'll need to scrub your eyeballs.

No doubt, those are way, way weirder. I still think Beetlejuice is a little dark for a cartoon aimed at kids, though.

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when the decision was made to turn RoboCop into a cartoon.
