In 1989 Jeffrey A. Montgomery bought Harvey Comics and all its properties including the rights to the Casper the Friendly Ghost character. He then proceeded to restore all the classic Casper animated shorts along those of the rest of Harvey's properties: Baby Huey, Buzzy the Crow, Little Audrey, and Herman and Katnip, and repackage them into this series. However, Montogomery found that the rights to the cartoons' soundtracks belonged to Winston Sharples, so he had all the audio redone from scratch, new voices becoming necessary because the original ones couldn't be separated from Sharples' music.
