Der Geist und Molly McGee

While certainly not the darkest of humor out there it took an approach I honestly didn't expect from Disney and I enjoyed it. If you fans of shows like The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy or Invader Zim you'll probably enjoy this. And if you enjoy this, I recommend you check out The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy or Invader Zim.

At times Molly's positive attitude can be too much, to the point where if she was the only real main character shed get a bit tiresome fast - but they play her off with an edge of humor, awkwardness and fear of being alone (not having a friend) that it grounds her character and really plays off Scratch (the ghost) and the antics of those around her.

On the surface this feels like it's going to be another paint by numbers kid friendly cartoon, and it is (the kid friendly part) but there's just enough of a 'edge' to it that although I am FAR from the shows target demographic it was a lot of fun. The environments look like exaggerated Nightmare Before Christmas whenever the ghost scare someone, but it's colorful. The overly sweet pop sounding song in each episode feels like it came from Avenue Q or Book of Mormon if you listen closely- not the content of course, but an overly cute song whose cynical lyrics need to be heard.

All in all this won't be for everyone but I'd highly recommend giving this a watch.

I just got done watching the premiere episodes and wow, the show is already amazing. Let's break it down

Animation: 2/2 very expressive and fluid, with vibrant colors and lighting

Music: 2/2 I absolutely adore musicals, so I'm glad that the show has a song in every episode, and truth be told, they're catchy.

Characters 2/2: Molly is an exuberant ball of energy who apparently has trouble making friends and getting close to people. Scratch the ghost works as a foil to her. He's grumpy but is also an outcast.

Writing 2/2: Snappy dialogue and good humor. The series also seems to be setting up a plot line about the Hedgehog Dilemma just like Neon Genesis Evangelion- when we get too close to each other; we end up hurting each other. To love is to be vulnerable

Voice acting 2/2 You just can't go wrong with Dana Snyder, known for Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Jellystone

Overall, 10/10.

Wow this feels so cool as i started to watch it On Disney Channel and Disney+, most of the characters are likable, funny, awesome and nice including the main characters Molly Mcgee and his ghost friend named Scratch, Libby is a good friend to Molly and the songs are catchy including the theme song too, at the end of season 1 Molly defeats the chairman by using the power of joy and releasing the ghosts from the flow of failed phantoms and Scratch sings a song called enjoy your afterlife and the whole is pretty good.

I don't like that type of animation but storyline is amazing. It should be tv 14. I want more. The dark comedy is super creative. The ghost is so pecci.

The Ghost and Molly Mcgee is a fun show about the supernatural. With so many things that don't exist in the real world, this show makes you see into the world of the supernatural.

This show is about Molly Mcgee (Ashly Burch) and The Ghost whose name is Scratch (Dana Snyder). When Molly moves into a new house that is haunted by Scratch, Molly instantly befriends him and, in an attempt to get her off his back, he curses her so that she will be haunted forever - but, that ends up being a curse for him. To find out what happens to this hilarious duo watch this show!

One cool thing about this show is that, when the ghost does his haunting thing, the whole screen turns sideways and the colors go crazy, which makes it so entertaining to watch. Another thing I like about this show is the ghost council. The head ghosts hands out assignments and each ghost gets a scare report where they have to show a certain amount of scares during a certain period of time. The whole show is animated and has a very different style of animation. Most animated shows I watch try to look 3D and as realistic as possible, but this one is closer to 2D and it intentionally looks more like a cartoon. That has a more kid-friendly feel, especially with the scary ghost scenes.

The message is that unlikely friendships can work out.

I give The Ghost and Molly Mcgee 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 6 to 16. I think younger kids might find the ghost scenes a little scary. This begins streaming October 1, 2021 on Hulu TV Live. By Avalon N., KIDS FIRST!
