In it, when a new family arrives in the small town of Eternal Falls, Casper finds himself entangled in a mystery uncovering dark secrets that have been buried for over 100 years.Casper is produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and DreamWorks Animation.Casper originated as an affable translucent ghost featured in a slew of animated movies by Famous Studios released between 1945 and 1959.

Since then, Casper has headlined a slew of comic books, five animated television series, Matty’s Funday Funnies, The New Casper Cartoon Show, Casper and the Angels, The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper and Casper’s Scare School, as well as Universal Pictures’ 1995 live-action feature Casper.
