'''''Beetlejuice''''' is an [[animated television series]] that ran from September 9, 1989, to October 26, 1991, on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], and on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] from September 9 to December 6, 1991.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Perlmutter |first1=David |title=The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows |date=2018 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=978-1538103739 |page=75}}</ref> Loosely based on the [[Beetlejuice|1988 American film of the same name]], it was developed by its director, [[Tim Burton]], who also served as an executive producer.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Erickson |first1=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |edition=2nd |publisher=McFarland & Co |isbn=978-1476665993 |pages=131–133}}</ref> The series follows Lydia Deetz and her friend Beetlejuice and their adventures in the "mortal world" and the Neitherworld, a supernatural realm inhabited by various monsters. [[Danny Elfman]], who composed the theme for the film, also arranged it for the series.
 
==Plot==
EpisodesThe generallyseries centered onfollows the adventures of ghostly con-man Beetlejuice, and his best friend Lydia, and their supernatural adventures together in both the Neitherworld and the "mortal world", athe [[New England]] town calledof Peaceful Pines ("Winter River" in the film). As in the film, Lydia could summon Beetlejuice out offrom the Neitherworld (or go there herself) by calling his name three times. The series's humor relied heavily on [[slapstick|sight gags]], [[wordplay]], and [[allusiveness]]. Many episodes, especiallynotably towards the end of the series' run, were [[Parody|parodies]] of famous filmsmovies, books, and TV shows. The episode "Brides of Funkenstein" was based on an idea submitted by a then-teenage girl, who was a fan of the show.<ref name=bangor>{{cite news|last=Gagnon|first=Dawn|title='Beetlejuice' Buys A Madawaska Teen's Idea|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=dbFJAAAAIBAJ&sjid=yg4NAAAAIBAJ&pg=5846,2750412|access-date=7 October 2011|newspaper=[[Bangor Daily News]]|date=September 25, 1991|pages=17, 18}}</ref>
 
Throughout the entire series, Beetlejuice would often try to scam residents of the Neitherworld—and, sometimes, the "mortal world" as well (Lydia's parents were occasionally unwitting victims of his pranks)—by various means, from "baby-sitting" (in which he literally sits on the grotesque Neitherworld babies) to trying to beat them in an auto race.

===Main===
* '''Beetlejuice''' (voiced by [[Stephen Ouimette]]) –is Aa [[ghost]] and the main and titletitular character of the show, who enjoys eating bugs and is known throughout the Neitherworld as a prankster and was named after the star [[Betelgeuse]].

* '''Lydia Deetz''' (voiced by [[Alyson Court]]) is a goth girl who is in her preteens at the start of the series and later in her early teens, and is considered to be responsible and emotionally mature for her age. She loves all things "strange and unusual", including horror and literary classics such as the works of gothic and horror writers, including [[Edgar Allan Poe]] and [[Stephen King]]. She is established as being a creative, yet [[Eccentricity (behavior)|eccentric]], girl, who struggles to fit in with her classmates at Miss Shannon's School for Girls, which she attends. This leads her to seek out reassurance with Beetlejuice and in the Neitherworld, where she is accepted and loved for who she is. She also has several talents, including photography, entomology, sewing, art, and working with machines, and feels strongly about environmental issues. Lydia is Beetlejuice's best friend, and in "Critter Sitters", it is shown that they have known each other for a year, as they are celebrating their first anniversary of friendship. Lydia can summon Beetlejuice or travel to the Neitherworld by calling his name three times. Lydia looks up to Beetlejuice, and, in "It's a Wonderful Afterlife", it is shown that if she never met him, she would have been a social recluse and would not have had the confidence to stand up to Claire Brewster's bullying, showing that Beetlejuice's friendship and dedication to her is the source of her self-confidence.
Beetlejuice's pranks on many seem to cause them great embarrassment or damage, but his pranks on Lydia however, are only done to tease her, not to cause harm, which shows he cares for her. Lydia in fact seems to be the only person who has any control over Beetlejuice. He even said in one episode he would do anything for her, and she, in turn, reciprocates his feelings. Beetlejuice is also constantly coming up with get-rich-quick con schemes to get money, as he dreads having to get a job, and in later episodes (particularly in the second half of the fourth season), Beetlejuice's greediness becomes so intense that he sometimes overlooks his friends and family, and even when Lydia openly scolds him, Beetlejuice shows unbelievable reluctance or unwillingness to give up of his schemes. His favorite foods are insects of various types, especially beetles, and worms. Beetlejuice also loves causing mayhem in the Neitherworld and being filthy, and this last makes Beetlejuice have a pathological and psychotic hatred of baths. Despite this cynical and childish attitude, Beetlejuice proves to be a profound and insightful person, frequently reciting quotes of philosophical and humanitarian importance. The things he hates include cleanliness and anything "''cute''". He expresses his likes and dislikes via variations on a single [[catchphrase]], as in "''[[Nerd]] humor you know I love it!''" or "''rules you know I hate 'em!''" The only known thing Beetlejuice is afraid of is Sandworms, so much that he is unable to use his powers when he encounters them. However, on a few of occasions, Beetlejuice has managed to conquer his fear and use his magic to fight them. This is usually thanks to encouragement from Lydia, or if someone else is in danger. Lydia once stated to Judge Mental; ''"Beetlejuice couldn't use his powers to save himself, but he could do it for a baby."'' A number of times, Beetlejuice interacted with Lydia's parents in the "real world" of Peaceful Pines, always under the name of "Mr. Beetleman", and in a couple of instances, he performed a gender change on himself to become a teenage girl about Lydia's age at Lydia's school as "Mr. Beetleman's" younger female relative "Betty Juice", along with twice appearing as the male gender "Cousin BJ" claiming to be on Delia's side of the family.

* Lydia Deetz (voiced by [[Alyson Court]]) – A Goth girl in her preteens at the start of the series, and early teens later in the series. Lydia's favorite hobby is reading literary classics such as the collective works of writers such as [[Edgar Allan Poe]], [[Stephen King]] and other Gothic and horror writers. She is established as being a creative, bright, lively, sharp, yet [[Eccentricity (behavior)|eccentric]] young girl, but otherwise Lydia's unique outlook on life makes her stand out from most of the other school-girls, which leaves her feeling out of place and alone in the real world, finding it difficult to fit in well with most of her classmates—leading her to frequently visit and seek out reassurance with her closest friend, Beetlejuice, in the Neitherworld, where she is accepted and loved for who she is as a person. Her regular outfit at home is a long dark purple top, a pair of black leggings, a light purple and pink [[sash]] tied around her waist and black slipper-shoes. Her Neitherworld attire consists of a large spiderweb pattern red poncho, over a full-body black [[Unitard]]. Lydia is a talented [[Photography|photographer]], [[sewing|seamstress]], and artist with an affinity and love for all things gross, scary, weird, surreal and macabre, and who celebrates all that is (in the words of her film incarnation) 'strange and unusual'. Despite her love of all things 'strange and unusual', Lydia is also a [[Optimism|positive]], well-mannered, friendly and patient girl, and aside from also being emotionally mature for her age, Lydia can be accredited as being very responsible for a girl in her age group. Lydia is also shown to be a [[naturalist]], shown to feel very strongly about [[Environmentalism|environmental issues]], even to the extent of chaining herself to a tree, which Beetlejuice soon brought to life to save it from being cut down. Lydia has also shown that she is extremely gifted with anything mechanical and understands a lot about cars (she knew what to do to build Doomie, while "Bee-gor" Beetlejuice did not know very much, such as what a [[carburetor]] is). In the series, Lydia attends "''Miss Shannon's School for Girls''" and is in the seventh grade. As mentioned, Lydia is Beetlejuice's best friend; and in the events of the pilot episode, ''Critter Sitters'' it is revealed she and Beetlejuice have already known each other for a year, as they are celebrating their first anniversary of friendship. Beetlejuice frequently addresses her as "Lyds" or "Babes" rather than "''Lydia''" though he does use her full name from time to time, like when he is scared, amused, or worried about her; for example: in "Worm Welcome" when Beetlejuice found out that "Worm Your Way" deodorant causes baby Sandworms to go crazy, he was scared Lydia would be eaten by the baby Sandworm, this, in turn, makes himself shout her name. Lydia knows how to summon Beetlejuice to her presence or make her own way to his: by calling his name aloud three times. (Occasionally she is shown making use of a longer, more elaborate ritual using the aforementioned four-line chant to bring him out of the Neitherworld or send herself into it, but this seems not to be a necessity.) Unlike Beetlejuice himself, Lydia is almost universally loved by the Neitherworld denizens, and she once won a Neitherworld award for Cutest Mortal to Ever Visit the Neitherworld. Having found herself a kindred spirit in Beetlejuice, Lydia looks up to Beetlejuice in many ways, primarily admiring his outrageous sense of humor. In one episode, Beetlejuice lent Lydia his funny bone so she could be funny as part of a school show, but without his funny bone Beetlejuice became much more serious and normal; this change in him even disappoints Jacques and Ginger. When Beetlejuice gets his funny bone back however, he becomes his abnormal self again much to Lydia's delight as she hugs him. It is revealed in "It's A Wonderful Afterlife", that if she had never met Beetlejuice, Lydia would have become an unhappy, social recluse, and not have had the confidence to stand up to Claire Brewster's bullying; indicating that Beetlejuice's friendship and dedication to her is the source of Lydia's own self-confidence. Although most of Beetlejuice's antics are motivated by self-amusement rather than malice, he can become genuinely hostile if Lydia is threatened, and any who might conceivably threaten their relationship. These are the objects of Beetlejuice's profound jealousy and resentment. However, Lydia never shows any romantic interest in anyone else except Prince Vince, and that quickly turns into a straight-out friendship. In the episode "Out of My Mind", Lydia is teleported inside Beetlejuice's mind, and it is learned that he actually has a working shrine to her in his head. During this time, she gave a donation towards the maintenance of his shrine to her.
==== Peaceful Pines inhabitants ====
* '''Charles Deetz''' (voiced by Roger Dunn) is Lydia's father, whose hobbies include [[ornithology]] and [[baseball]]. He is closer to Lydia than Delia is, as they share a love of baseball. He is often the victim of Beetlejuice's pranks and mischief; despite this, Beetlejuice is quite fond of him, likely because he is one of the few people who always falls for his pranks.
* '''Delia Deetz''' (voiced by [[Elizabeth Hanna]]) is Charles' wife and Lydia's mother, who tries to get her to give up her love for scary things and focus on normal interests. She is an eccentric, airheaded [[yuppie]], who believes that she is a great cook and a great artist, when in reality it is not well received. However, her art is popular in the Neitherworld. Because of her eccentric nature, Delia, not easily frightened, unlike Charles; being a surrealistic artist, she believes that the frightening things she experiences are part of something else.
* '''Percy''' is the Deetz family's pet black cat, who is often a victim of Beetlejuice's pranks.
* '''Bertha''' (voiced by [[Tara Strong|Tara Strong]]) (credited as Tara Charendoff) is Lydia's friend at school, who shares her interest in things "strange and unusual".
* '''Prudence''' (voiced by [[Tabitha St. Germain|Paulina Gillis]]) is Lydia's friend at school, who is shy and loves to read.
* '''Claire Brewster''' (voiced by Tara Strong) (credited as Tara Charendoff) is Lydia's [[upperclass]] rival and Beetlejuice's rival at school. As a result of being spoiled by her parents, Claire is vain, narcissistic, and believes that everything should go her way. She often clashes with Lydia, whom she hates.
 
==== Neitherworld inhabitants ====
===Supporting===
* '''Jacques LaLean''' (voiced by Charles Kerr) is a French skeleton bodybuilder and Beetlejuice's neighbor. Despite being annoyed by his antics, they are friends despite Beetlejuice's insistence that they are not. He dreams of becoming a great bodybuilder despite lacking muscles or a body; despite this, he previously won the Mr. Neitherworld bodybuilding title, defeating reigning champion Armhold Musclehugger. According to "Highs-Ghoul Confidential", he and Ginger attended the same high school as Beetlejuice and went to the school prom together.
====Peaceful Pines inhabitants====
* '''Ginger the Tap Dancing Spider''' (voiced by Paulina Gillis) is a tap-dancing spider and Beetlejuice's neighbor, who dreams of someday being a famous tap dancer. According to "Highs-Ghoul Confidential", she and Jacques attended the same high school as Beetlejuice, where she was part of the [[Cheerleading|cheerleading squad]], and went to the school prom together.
* Charles Deetz (voiced by Roger Dunn) – Lydia's father, a nervous man who likes quiet and calm activities. He also has a terrible allergy to dogs. One of his favorite hobbies is [[ornithology]], which he seems to be very fond of, and he also likes [[baseball]]. He is closer to Lydia than Delia is, as they share a love of baseball. He is often the victim of Beetlejuice's continuous pranks and mischief. Despite this, Beetlejuice is oddly quite fond of him, probably because Charles is one of the few people who is always falling for his pranks, usually when Beetlejuice is in his "real-world" guise of "Mr. Beetleman". Charles' catchphrase is "Try to relax. Try to relax.".
* '''The Monster Across the Street''' (voiced by [[Len Carlson]]) is a tall, hairy monster from the West who lives across the street from Beetlejuice and is often annoyed by his antics. He resembles Gossamer from Looney Tunes. He has a pet dog, Poopsie (voiced by Len Carlson).
* Delia Deetz (voiced by [[Elizabeth Hanna]]) – Charles Deetz's wife and Lydia's stepmother. Delia is an eccentric, air-headed [[yuppie]], who is also somewhat self-absorbed. She deludes herself that she is both a great cook and a great artist, and hankers after new clients; however, both her cooking and her surreal art are not well received and Delia just cannot understand why her art is rejected or laughed at (paradoxically, while her weird art is rejected by living people, it is very popular in the Neitherworld). Also, due to her eccentric/air-headed/yuppie nature, Delia is not easily frightened, unlike her husband; being a surrealistic artist, she mistakenly thinks that the frightening things she experiences are part of something else. While she talks about wanting to express her creativity, she also tries to get Lydia to give up her love for scary stuff and focus on cute "normal" stuff (and doesn't notice the [[hypocrisy]] in her actions); this was emphasized briefly in "Critter Sitters" and was the plot of one of the stories in the comic book ("This is Your Lice", where Delia hires a [[hypnotist]] to make Lydia conform to doing normal, girly things). While in the film, the fact that Delia is Lydia's [[stepmother]] is made clear, in the cartoon this fact is never pressed upon.
* '''Doomie''' (voiced by [[Ron Rubin (voice actor)|Ron Rubin]] as '''Doomie''', [[Colin Fox (actor)|Colin Fox]] as '''Dragster of Doom''') – Beetlejuice and Lydia's sentient car, who is normally affable and friendly but, due to the abnormal brain Beetlejuice gave him during his construction, transforms into a werewolf-like monster in response to the presence of a Neitherworld dog or to anger, fear, or his passengers being in danger. Later in the series, he "speaks", which is given as the sound of an engine turning over in ignition. Through Lydia translating his speech, other aspects of his character are revealed, such as his attempts to court Mayor Maynot's [[Convertible (car)|convertible]] Pinky.
* Percy – The Deetz family's pet [[black cat]], an animal so high-strung that he makes Charles look relaxed. Considering the amount of torment that Beetlejuice puts Percy through, this is not really surprising. Although Percy is most times a victim of Beetlejuice's pranks, he sometimes manages to take revenge on him, in more than one way.
* '''Barry MeNot''' (voiced by [[Keith Knight (actor)|Keith Knight]]) appears in the Neitherworld's commercials to promote a product revolving around a plot point.
* Bertha (voiced by [[Tara Strong|Tara Charendoff]])– Lydia's friend from school. She is tall, gangly and has an [[overbite]]. Bertha loves to swoon over teen boys, read teen magazines, and eat chips. Like Lydia, she too shares a passion for anything strange and unusual. Beetlejuice refers to her as 'Burp'.
* '''Bea Juice''' (voiced by [[Susan Roman]]) is Beetlejuice's mother.
* Prudence (voiced by [[Tabitha St. Germain|Paulina Gillis]])– Lydia's other friend from school, who is a lot smaller than Bertha. Like Lydia and Bertha, Prudence is interested in anything strange and unusual but doesn't like anything too scary. She is a straight-A student who loves to read. Beetlejuice refers to her as 'Prune'. But he does appear to get on well with both her and Bertha (always in the guise of Bettyjuice). In the episode "Brides of Funkenstein", Beetlejuice helped Prudence become more confident during the group's brief time as a rock band. He also praised her and Bertha's bravery during a camping trip in the Neitherwoods when they saved him and Lydia from a sandworm attack. Also when Betty Juice was running for school president, he tried to get them on board supporting his campaign.
* '''Nat Juice''' (voiced by Len Carlson) is Beetlejuice's father, who wants him to get a job.
* Claire Brewster (voiced by [[Tara Strong|Tara Charendoff]]) – Lydia's [[upperclass]] rival and Beetlejuice's second rival from school. Claire is the [[epitome]] of the '[[Spoiled child|spoiled]] little [[Beneficiary|rich girl]]' [[stereotype]] and a typical spoiled princess; being overindulged by her parents, Claire believes everything should go her way and because of that, she clashes with Lydia, serving as a personality foil for Lydia in the series. Claire hates Lydia Deetz with a passion and swears to embarrass or outdo Lydia at every opportunity, (usually because Lydia stands up to her), but the one person she hates more than Lydia is Beetlejuice. For the most part, Lydia tries to ignore Claire's scathing remarks, comments and attempts to humiliate her, not wanting to validate any of Claire's actions, but nevertheless there is many a time when Claire gets under her skin, and Lydia dreads being humiliated in front of Claire (see "Stage Fright", "Laugh of the Party", and "Caddy Shock"). Claire is a [[Narcissism|narcissist]] who believes she is the prettiest, beloved and most popular girl of all (though it is clear that nobody likes her), and abuses any power she's given (as seen in "Foreign Exchange"). Claire is not only egotistical and overtly vain, she is also outright cruel, unapologetic, and incredibly obnoxious and seems to have no redeeming values whatsoever; she also reacts very badly to anyone who (by her own definitions) is prettier than her, as shown in "Foreign Exchange" when she deliberately embarrassed Alex Spenceten, a female foreign exchange student from [[Scandinavia]] (whose eyes were bluer and whose hair was blonder than Claire's). In "Brides of Funkenstein", it is revealed that Claire is [[Tone deafness|tone deaf]]. Claire's vanity and narcissism are further demonstrated in an episode where she and Lydia design a haunted house. Believing (due to her egotistical nature) that everyone would want to see "her in danger" she filled the house with cardboard cutouts of herself, rather than anything that was actually scary.
* '''Mayor Maynot''' (voiced by Len Carlson) is the Mayor of the Neitherworld. His assistant is '''I. M. Smallhead''', who is loosely based on Harry the Hunter from the film.
* '''Judge Mental''' (voiced by Len Carlson) is the Neitherworld's residential judge.
* '''Mr. Monitor''' (voiced by [[John Stocker (voice actor)|John Stocker]]) is a humanoid with four televisions for a head who runs the Neitherworld TV Network.
* '''Armhold Musclehugger''' (voiced by Keith Knight) – is the former Mr. Neitherworld bodybuilding champion until Jacques dethroned him. As Mr. Neitherworld, he is extremely arrogant, but when he reappears in the episode "Goody Two-Shoes" he is more affable. He later begins working for Chester Slime as his right-hand man.
* '''Scuzzo''' (voiced by Joseph Sherman) and '''Fuzzo''' (voiced by David Goldberg) are troublemaking clowns and Beetlejuice's rivals.
* '''Sandworms''' are purple and green snake-like creatures that reside in the desert region of Sandwormland, which is below the Neitherworld (unlike in the film, where they live on a moon of [[Saturn]]).
 
== Voice cast ==
====Neitherworld inhabitants====
* Jacques LaLean (voiced by Charles Kerr) – A [[French people|French]] skeleton bodybuilder (a humorous reference to fitness guru [[Jack LaLanne]]) and neighbor of Beetlejuice. A running gag in the series entails Jacques getting broken into multiple pieces, often thanks to Beetlejuice, who will then proceed to call a number of random dogs upon him. In spite of such antics, Jacques actually likes Beetlejuice and it is revealed that Beetlejuice reciprocates this despite his vehement pretensions to the contrary. He pursues a dream of becoming a great bodybuilder, a mostly comedic endeavor as he has no muscles nor a body to devote fitness to, a fact he is very aware of but regardless does not take into consideration, and once against all odds (and believability) won the Mr. Neitherworld bodybuilding title, defeating the reigning champion Armhold Musclehugger (albeit by default). According to "Highs-Ghoul Confidential", Jacques and Ginger attended the same high school as Beetlejuice and went to the school prom together. During that time, Jacques was on the school [[Track and field|train track team]] and had an overbite.
* Ginger the Tap Dancing Spider (voiced by [[Tabitha St. Germain|Paulina Gillis]]) – A cute pink mediocre [[tap dance|tap dancing]] [[spider]] who speaks with a [[New York accent]] (This is a humorous allusion to [[Ginger Rogers]]). Another of Beetlejuice's neighbors, her act is often ruined by pranks of Beetlejuice. She dreams of someday being a famous tap dancer and can be very sensitive to cruel pranks. Although she is one of the innocent creatures in the Neitherworld, she has admitted that she stole a few dance steps from other living and dead dancers. According to "Highs-Ghoul Confidential", Ginger and Jacques attended the same high school as Beetlejuice and went to the school prom together. During that time, Ginger was on the school [[Cheerleading|cheerleading squad]] and had magenta-colored hair in a fifties hairdo.
* The Monster Across the Street (voiced by [[Len Carlson]]) – A tall, hairy monster from the West who lives across the street from Beetlejuice.
* Poopsie (voiced by [[Len Carlson]]) – The Monster's beloved and talented pet dog, one of Beetlejuice's favorite prank victims, and because of this he strongly dislikes him, but he has the same affection towards Lydia as his owner. Poopsie's girlfriend is The Monstress Across the Street's dog Poopette. Poopsie is also one of Doomie's favorite targets when the roadster undergoes his Jekyll/Hyde transformation (see below).
* Doomie (voiced by [[Ron Rubin (voice actor)|Ron Rubin]] as Doomie, [[Colin Fox (actor)|Colin Fox]] as Dragster of Doom) – Beetlejuice and Lydia's convertible, neon-green-painted sentient car, (resembling a 1960s [[Plymouth Fury]]). The origin of his name is Lydia having desired to construct a "Dragster of Doom," though this title was only utilized in a single episode. Doomie is normally an affable and friendly creature, but due to the abnormal brain Beetlejuice gave him during his construction (ala [[Frankenstein's monster]]), Doomie transforms into a vicious "''four-wheeled [[werewolf]]''" type of monster in response to the presence of a Neitherworld dog near him, or to anger, fear, or the danger of his 'passengers', somewhat like a vehicular [[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (character)|Jekyll and Hyde]] (correspondingly, even in his more sedate form he displays subtly dog-like traits such as panting, implying that he fills a pet-like role for Lydia and Beetlejuice). A recurring gag is for Doomie to turn into his "''werewolf stage''" to chase dogs around the Neitherworld, (a flip-switch to dogs chasing cars). In later episodes, he is known to "''speak''", which is given as the sound of an engine turning over in ignition. It is at these times, Lydia usually plays a translator for him, as we understand a more complex, benevolent, and hopelessly romantic side to Doomie, such as when he began courting Mayor Maynot's [[Convertible (car)|convertible]] Pinky. Beetlejuice makes a point of claiming his ownership over Doomie and often demands his loyalty whenever Doomie should contradict him or is needed to aide in Beetlejuice's endeavors. However, Beetlejuice can be greatly apathetic to any plight of Doomie's, necessitating Lydia's persuasion to help him.
* Barry MeNot (voiced by [[Keith Knight (actor)|Keith Knight]]) – A CGI character who pops up in the Neitherworld's commercials to promote a product revolving around a plot point in a humorous side.
* Bea Juice (voiced by [[Susan Roman]]) – The mother of Beetlejuice who is always picky about cleanliness.
* Nat Juice (voiced by [[Len Carlson]]) – The father of Beetlejuice who is always trying to get Beetlejuice to find a job.
* Mayor Maynot (voiced by [[Len Carlson]]) – The Mayor of the Neitherworld. In season one, he is a short green-skinned man in a top hat. In season two, he was redesigned to be a mummified monster of normal height. Mayor Maynot is always on Beetlejuice's case where he is always threatening to have him sent to Sandwormland.
* I.M. Smallhead – The small-headed assistant to Mayor Maynot where he always agrees with him. While he is shown to dislike Beetlejuice, he can be friendly to him at times. I.M. Smalllhead is loosely based on Harry the Hunter from the live-action film.
* Judge Mental (voiced by [[Len Carlson]]) – The Neitherworld's residential judge who would always threaten to sentence Beetlejuice to be condemned to Sandwormland when Beetlejuice ends up on trial in his courtroom.
* Mr. Monitor (voiced by [[John Stocker (voice actor)|John Stocker]]) – A humanoid with four televisions for a head. He runs the Neitherworld TV Network where he is always keeping an eye on the ratings.
* Armhold Musclehugger (voiced by [[Keith Knight (actor)|Keith Knight]]) – First appeared in the fourth-season episode "Raging Skull"; a parody of [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] (even speaking on a parody of Schwarzenegger's Austrian accent) and the former Mr. Neitherworld bodybuilding champion (until dethroned by Jacques, with some help from Beetlejuice). He is green-skinned with a blond crew-cut hairstyle and wears only bodybuilder briefs. As Mr. Neitherworld, he is extremely arrogant, but when he reappears in the episode "Goody Two-Shoes" he is more affable (while still proud of his physique). Later on, he becomes more toadying and goes to work for Chester Slime as his well-muscled right-hand man.
* Scuzzo and Fuzzo (voiced by [[Joseph Sherman]] and David Goldberg) – The [[Evil clown|trouble-making clowns]] and the rivals of Beetlejuice.
* Sandworms – Huge purple and green [[snake]]-like creatures with four eyes and stegosaurus-like spines on their backs that reside in the desert region of Sandwormland which is below the Neitherworld.

== Production ==
Following the major critical and commercial success of the ''[[Beetlejuice]]'' film in early 1988, it led to an animated spin-off series being created by Warner Bros. Television. The production was provided by the Canadian [[Nelvana Ltd.]], [[The Geffen Film Company]] and Tim Burton, Inc. The series premiered on September 9, 1989, on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]].
 
The animated series was a mega breakout hit for ABC in its initial seasons, and later became one of the first cartoon animated series to ever air on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]]'s weekday afternoons [[Fox Kids|children's lineup]], though also remaining on ABC's Saturday morning schedules, making it one of the first animated shows to air concurrently on two different United StatesU.S. broadcast networks.
 
The premise of the animated series differs in a number of ways from the original ''[[Beetlejuice]]''film live-actionin filmorder to be acceptable for children. In the TV series, he and Lydia are best friends, Beetlejuice is made out to be more of a prankster, and Lydia is given a much quirkier, but positive demeanor. Lydia often travels to the '"Neitherworld'" (changed from '"Afterlife'") to have adventures with Beetlejuice. These adventures could involve fun activities together, Lydia saving Beetlejuice from a bad situation, or scolding him for a money -making scam.
 
== Merchandise ==
Much as with the original 1988 film, various merchandise was released for the ''Beetlejuice'' animated series in 1990. This included [[trading cards]] by Dart, a [[sticker album]] and sticker/activity book by [[Panini (stickers)|Panini]], a [[jigsaw puzzle]] by [[Little Golden Books|Golden]], a coloring book, novels, a lunchbox and thermos set, Valentine'sValentines, a party centerpiece by Party Creations, a [[PC game]] by [[Hi Tech Expressions]], a [[Beetlejuice (handheld video game)|Game Boy game]] by [[Rare (company)|Rare]], and six [[PVC]] figures available with [[Burger King]] [[Kids' meal|Kids' Meal]]s. [[Kenner]], the company behind the film's [[action figure]]s, had begun developing figures for the animated series, but the project did not come to fruition (at least one prototype for that ill-fated collection has been showcased online).<ref>Bickmore, Alex [http://www.toyarchive.com/BeetleJJacqueHardCopy.html STA: Beetlejuice: Jacque Hardcopy Head] ToyArchive.com (June 1, 2004).
