The dialogue tends to lay it on a bit too thick on the twee sentimentality and the sugar, Casper's moping is likely to annoy some who don't want to see it all the time. The Casper cartoons admittedly were on the repetitive side, structurally there is a rather more-of-the-same feel (Casper wanting to make friends rather than scare and being shunned by the other ghosts, characters being scared at the sight of him, Casper upset, Casper making a friend, something bad happening to threaten the friendship, things ending mostly happily) occurring in a lot of them, making it easy to work what the outcomes are going to be. Not everybody is going to find them to their tastes, finding them too overly-sentimental or that they repeat things too much, but for this viewer there was still a good amount to like. Even the lesser Casper cartoons are more watchable than the lesser Herman and Katnip cartoons for instance. While the Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoons are not milestones in animation or masterpieces, as far as Famous Studios' Noveltoon cartoons go they are not that bad.
