Slimer Won't Do That: Making of The Real Ghostbusters 2 of 3 

frank welker is right up there with Mel Blanc in terms of his voice talent

You have to respect the show more when you see all the hard work that went into it.

amazing to see greats like Maurice and Frank Welker at work .Would be great to see more of that, including stuff with Arsenio and Lorenzo. Probably sadly will never be seen.

Frank Welker is the god of voice acting.

2:20 - 2:44 Maurice LaMarche and Frank Welker recording voices of Slimer, Ray Stanz and Egon Spengler!!

What a gift Frank Welker has, it's unfair that anyone should be that talented, lol. :)

I've never seen Frank Welker working. He's amazing.

Frank Welker. Thats all I have to say.

"Hello! How are you?! I have twelve voices! huhhuhhuhhuh!" More like twelve million! May you live forever, Mr. Welker.

This is soooo cool. I remember a young woman who was told she couldn't be an animator because she didn't speak Japanese!!! How dumb is that. Don't know if she ever studied it, but I hope the teacher who said that to her is waiting tables! Amazing how much alll this hand drawn stuff, at least the production end of it, has changed so radically since this was done. Artist will always use pencils to start, but the computer is it for animation, at least in the commercial realm. Thanks!

I remembered that you could always see which episodes were done by the A team and B team. The Saturday morning episodes always had the dynamic cool animation.

I always forget just how much work and how many people it takes to make a cartoon.

They were boarding The Halloween Door (1:55)! The "Touching Old Magic" sequence & Boogaloo!

Frank Welker raised me during the 80's. Long Live Megatron!

I knew it was animated in japan, but it never occurred to me all the time and effort it took sub contract to another Continent like that in the days before the internet.

Now that I think about yes he does look a little like the animated Ray Stantz. This is so cool so see Frank Welker and Maurice Lamarche working along with the other people involved in making The Real Ghostbusters. It is still one of my favorite cartoons to this day. In fact the final episode"20,000 Leagues under the Street" aired on my 9th birthday in 1991.

Amazing. Love animation. There's not a truer more complete art form in the world.

Once again, proof that the majority of cartoons in the 80’s were actually anime in American drag. The Ghostbusters really did get an anime. And Frank Walker is pure epic!!! Now I appreciate him like I do Paul Freese, June Foray and Robin Williams. 👍

Speaking of voice actors, by the 3rd season, Dave Coulier took over as the voice of Peter Venkman. I personally think Lorenzo Music was the better voice actor because he captured Peter's character perfectly. Yes, Coulier could do a voice impression of Bill Murray but it sounded more like Bill Murray playing Carl Spackler in "Caddyshack" instead of Bill Murray playing Peter Venkman in "Ghostbusters." Plus, I liked it better when Peter didn't like Slimer so much as he's holding a grudge against him for sliming him at the hotel. When Dave Coulier took over the role, it's like Peter and Slimer were best buds and that just doesn't fit.

Does anyone else think Maurice LaMarche actually sort of resembles Harold Ramis in this video?

Muchas Gracias por subir estos videos!! saludos desde mexico!! ;)

when he did the boogeyman voice.....damn, that sent shivers down my spine....that voice is just downright creepy

Ok didn't know Welker voiced Skeeter AND Kermit. Christ this dudes out Mel Blanc's Mel Blanc.

Does anyone know how long it took to make an episode of The Real Ghostbusters? I know it took 9 months to make an episode of The Simpsons (They had over twenty teams working at the same time to produce one series a year) but The Real Ghosbusters often had even better animation than The Simpsons. Anyone know?

At 2:23, Frank Welker one of the biggest voice actors in the business. Although in this, he kind of looks like Mr. Roper from "Three's Company." Any famous voice he's known for doing is Freddy from "Scooby Doo."

I've never seen pictures of him. They practically designed Ray in his image!

Makes you wonder how much has changed and what stayed the same in animation.

awesome 👍👍👍 i like the video

@mmmfloorpie Depends. If your looking at something straight ahead, you're better of with narrow featherweights, but if your looking at something while your lying down they can be pretty handy.

So The Real Ghostbusters cartoon was actually part Anime/Japanese animation, lol Who knew XD and 13,000-14,000 cells/per episode @_@ thats insane, man, PROPS to those animators!! they really don't get paid enough~ :/

If Frank Welker could do Skeeter (Muppet Babies) well among the female voices, he could've done a perfect Janine as well.

Huh, so Ghostbusters was animated in Japan? I always did get kind of an anime vibe from it.

@CineRecon indeed...hes great

wooo such a great show. cant wait for the video game

I want to contact the owner of this video please

What episode(s) did Frank Welker and Maurice LaMarche recorded?

Why wasn't this on the DVD collection?

what a fucking nightmare

Frank Welker is freakin awesome!!!

i think they still hand draw but with tablets rather than paper.

@xazoulini1 Mr. Sandman Dream me a dream is the name of the episode

Will Somebody explain the Stay Puft Character!

Is it just me, or does Ray bear more than a passing resemblance to Frank?

is the narrator Rolf Harris?

Frank welker is a genius.

What is Phil doing right now?

You think people REALLY needed glasses that big back then?

6:23 - So the uncle of the Gangnam-Style-Dude was invloved with the Ghostbusters Cartoon, or what?

...How...else...would it be made...? O_o

I'm tempted to think that more than how cheap it was they wanted a Japanese animation studio to animate the series because US animation in the 80's was horrible, really bad animation. Anime in the 80's was the opposite, it was really well done.

The animation director looks like Jeffrey Dahmer!

atleast Casper wasn't the ghostbusters sidekick ! that would be stupid , unoriganal , and be boring.
