Based on the 1975 live-action television show "The Ghost Busters", The "Ghostbusters" animated series featured the supernatural investigations of Jake Kong Jr. and Eddie Spenser Jr., sons of the original Ghost Busters. Together with their strong and technically-savvy gorilla Tracy, they engage in a never-ending battle against Prime Evil and his ghostly allies. From their base of operations in Ghost Command, communicating via Bone Phone and piloting the Ghost Buggy, their adventures take them from the darkest jungles to the loneliest castles - even into the future! With the aid of their friends Jessica, Futura and Belfry - and sometimes helped by their famous fathers - the Ghostbusters face their paranormal enemies: monsters, ghouls, mummies, robots and more!
