I am sure it will do well. I usually have trouble watching animated shows so i will probably pass on this.

This is a good news for Ghostbusters fans. The animated series will l bring new life to the franchise. The thing is that the recent movies are really performing well, so it makes a lot of sense to expand into animation.
