i remember casper comic book and but do not remember any cartoon . maybe they weren not memorable while i do not know but at my advanced age and here i be watch this very early casper animate short yesterday . afterward and i be shock to read the user comment here . do people miss the end . i have to learn all over again that casper isn not like the other ghost and who like to go out each night and scare the c p out of everyone . he see no future in that and accord to the narrator here . instead and one night he go out to the rural section of town and inadvertently scar some animal and can not find any friend . it bring him to tear and until a little fox hear him bawl and befriend him . the two become buddy but soon and the fox be run for his life with a fox hunt in progress . other review have all mention what happen and so i will touch on that and too . the fox be kill by hunt dog ( not show ) and casper be in tear for lose the only friend i ever have . but and nobody mention the happy end to this story . ferdie the fox become a spirit figure like casper and jump on his lap and lick his face and the narrator comment they live happily ever after . both character look overjoy . what be so sad about that . this be a nice story with a nice and happy end .
