Well, this definitely shows potential.

I’m glad the Disney Channel is investing more in animation, and I see they have other development deals with numerous artists, so I can’t wait to see what else gets made.

In addition, Disney Television Animation studio has also signed overall development deals with several animation creators and artists, including Bruce Smith (The Proud Family), Jeff Howard (Planes), Kate Kondell (The Pirate Fairy), Stevie Wermers (Prep & Landing), Kevin Deters (Prep & Landing), Howy Parkins (The Lion Guard), Amy Higgins (Star vs. the Forces of Evil), Devin Bunje and Nick Stanton (Prince of Peoria), Noah Z. Jones (Pickle & Peanut), Mike Roth (Regular Show), John Infantino (Star vs. the Forces of Evil), Jeremy Shipp (Kung Fu Panda), Ryan Gillis (Pickle & Peanut), Steve Marmel (The Fairly OddParents), Natasha Kline (Big City Greens) and Sabrina Cotugno (The Owl House).

Why does every Disney show about a teenaged girl and supernatural elements? I’m not complaining because this looks good.

Here is our character designer. The story editor is Madison Bateman (Motorcity, Ducktales 2017)

Sounds pretty interesting.

 

[Alexsketchy2004]

It reminds me of Beetlejuice for some reason..

 

[Red Arrow]

Sooo... The Disney Adventures of Billy & Mandy?

 

[RainbowCupcake]

The premise isn't 100% original, but if it's well written with good characters, I'm in.

I'm also glad to see that Disney is greenlighting more animated series (even better when they're not based on an existing property).

 

[D-nice is the man.]

I like the character designs, but not to sound sexist or anything, but I would like to see more Animated Series with more male protagonists, not that I'm against female protagonists, i'd rather have more even balance when it comes to shows like that. I will consider watching it when it releases.

 

[SweetShop209]

Sammie Crowley is writing for the series.

I think @RainbowCupcake and @D-nice is the man. Did a good job highlighting my thoughts here. It's not a 100% original idea, plus we could use more male protagonist - based shows again, someday.

To be fair, however, it LOOKS reasonably promising and will likely be more so if the writing is strong enough. I will definitely give it a chance to find a voice for itself - I mean, that's what I did for Amphibia and things worked out fine enough there, for example.

 

[LinusFan303]

This does seem like a show I'd want to watch, so hope it's fun! It does fit Disney Channel's style to have a series with a female protagonist so I'm not surprised.

I'm pretty sure he's a good guy ghost despite his "grumpiness", and that she doesn't summon him by saying his name three times.

Really, let's try to focus on the show as its own thing, and not try to compare it to anything else*.

*That said, there had better not be a reason for me to compare it to...all the other Disney Channel "original" series (animated or not), and I'll leave it at that...for now.

I don't know, m8..... I still wanna give it a chance it deserves, but I'm NOT gonna pretend this is an original idea.

The last time I saw something llike like this, it wasn't something that wasn't my cup of tea, but still reasonably decent for what it tried to do like Danny Phantom, it was Dude, That's My Ghost, a show I'd rather proudly forget about and would proudly enjoy seeing this show outdo as much as possible, honestly.

Well, simply by actually being both funny and somewhat endearing - being funny tends to be hard, yeah, but being endearing is actually quite easy enough.

 

[Action!]

I'm definitely going to watch this show.

Didn’t the creators work on Brandy & Mr. Whiskers...?

They were producers on that series.

Disney is well aware by now that it's extremely easy to create hype about those shows.
