There was no CGI used in the making of Ghostbusters...all the special effects were done with classic cinema special effects techniques...such as puppetry and compositing. 👍
How Venkman would pronounce "Hittites" -- that never occurred to me before. 😆 Cartoon trivia: The name of the movie wasn't entirely original. There had already been a live action kid's TV show called Ghost Busters starring Larry Storch, Forrest Tucker and a gorilla. The gorilla was the brains of the operation, but otherwise it was a similar team of ghost chasers. The movie production paid a fee to Filmation to obtain the rights to use the name. After the success of the movie, Filmation took advantage of their ownership of the original IP to produce a new cartoon series called Ghostbusters, a continuation of their own live-action series, and nothing to do with the movie (except a new ghost logo suspiciously similar to the movie's). This was followed by a cartoon series from DIC based on the movie, called The Real Ghostbusters, to avoid confusion. DIC's Real Ghostbusters was imaginative and has a decent cult following. Venkman and company were altered slightly, keeping the same personality types but drastically altering their physical appearance. That little green ghost got a name, Slimer, and became a friendly mascot.
I’m a reference librarian. If I was in the stacks, and the books started floating off of the shelves, I’d freak out. The opening scene was filmed at Columbia University in the Butler Library on 114th Street in Manhattan.
You’re right. It would take so much work to take each book off the shelf and make new cards. I remember the card catalog from when I was a kid. We use the Vega Discover online system now.
It’s not that the diners didn’t see anything. You have to think of it in NYC terms. It’s more that someone running up to the windows and behaving like Louis is probably a fairly regular occurrence there, and it looks to be a very upper class place, so they just act like “Hmph, that’s the fifth one this week. Anyway, what were you saying?” It might be worth it to give the hamster a try, but I think that it’s just in Gozer’s nature to be destructive in any form, so even the normally harmless would likely be catastrophic.
Hello, if you don’t mind, can you do a movie reaction on a movie called, 1492: Conquest of Paradise. Adventure/Drama (1992). It stars Gérard Depardieu, Siqourney Weaver, Armand Assante. It portrays a version of the travels to the New World by the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus and the effect this had on indigenous peoples. Directed by Ridley Scott.

I honestly thought it was CGI 😯
Creating those special effects frame by frame must've been seriously time consuming back then.

Thanks for the cartoon trivia! 😊

I remember when libraries had those index card files!
Moving books around is one thing, but messing up the card catalog like that is justified grounds for war upon the poltergeists responsible.

Spider and rabbit.
So we both agree that spider is the worst 😂🕷️
@ Absolutely!
You have just witnessed my all time favorite movie. You should watch Ghostbusters II, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
Worst: a presidential candidate; Best: a dryer sheet.
Any humanoid with opposable thumbs can deal devastating damage 🚶🏻♂️. Ah, a dryer sheet would be best if non-living things work 😂
The library cards flying was done simply using a leaf blower

@@henryellowYou’re welcome.
The one with the women Ghostbusters is the best one and the funniest.

@@THEPATRIOT1000 1000%, apparently you listened to all the idiots who also didn't watch it and just decided you hate it without ever watching it.
@smoothmove7566 no, i watched
10 mins of idiots and changed the channel
@@THEPATRIOT1000 You must have been watching the first Ghostbusters then.
