Ashley Moulton Common Sense Media 09/18/2024
The storylines are delightfully zany and nonsensical. Halloween-lovers, and fans of Tim Burton will love the celebration of all-things-spooky. Go to Full Review Kyle Anderson Nerdist 10/15/2018
Trippy and surreal and unnerving as all get-out. Go to Full Review Peter Sciretta Slashfilm 10/11/2018
While the show didn't really resemble the 1988 film, it was fun to see Burton's style adapted for the small screen in an animated form - remember, this predates The Nightmare Before Christmas. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nathan R @RT58708656 02/18/2025 I didn't like the original 1988 film (hot take, I know). I'm a younger fans of the Beetlejuice franchise, so naturally I found the franchise (and fell in love with it) through the Broadway musical. the film felt nothing like what I know Beetlejuice to be. This felt like MY Beetlejuice even if it came out waaaaaay before. I adore this show. watch both this and the musical. both are fantastic and have a Beetlejuice that's more mischievously charming rather than a predator like the film version. I'm serious. watch both.

See more 02/19/2019 This is an amazing cartoon that is still enjoyable to do this day. Every character is likable and has great voice acting. Especially Beetlejuice. If you want to watch a cartoon that dosent feel rushed like the cartoons that come out today. Give it a watch. See more Read all reviews
