Friendly as he is, he does tend to scare people away.He was shoe-horned in bushloads of terrible media, mostly live-action, created to solely cash in on brand recognition, without any of the spirits that made Casper lovable and endearing in the first place.Depending on the incarnation, he is portrayed as generically bland without any personality, or a creepy, pint-sized stalker, although we can't excuse that.Despite the awful live action films he had, the 1995 film was pretty good.After they leave, Casper reveals to the audience that he avoided taking the pills and was just doing that to teach them a lesson. Turning into a literal devil-child, Casper tortures his uncles with destructive pranks, sending them fleeing. In one short, the Ghostly Trio force-feed him some 'Mean Pills' which should make him the opposite.He may be 'The Friendliest Ghost You Know', but he can be the opposite if pushed around enough.He can make friends with just about anyone of any species after they aren't afraid of him anymore, of course.He quickly became one of Paramount's most popular animated characters after Popeye and Betty Boop.He is easily one of the kindest, sympathetic and forgiving cartoon characters ever created.Like his name states, he is quite friendly, pleasant, and personable.
