Honestly, Teen Titans Go is not that great of a show. Watched this episode on a whim, and I'm glad I did. The animation style is perfect for Beetlejuice, Alex Brightman (who starred in the Broadway version of Beetlejuice) gives an incredibly fun performance, and the references to the film and old TV show are very fun. It would have been nicer as a longer episode, but the humor was still enjoyable. It honestly just made me want more Beetlejuice. I grew up watching the 1989-1991 Beetlejuice cartoon, and this random episode of Teen Titans Go was simultaneously nostalgic and fresh. I'm hoping this has opened a door to allow a new Beetlejuice show with Alex Brightman and a similar animation style, as it suits Beetlejuice far more than it suits the Titans.

Beetlejuice is the infamous humorously sinister trickster (portrayed by the 1989 Batman star Michael Keaton) from Tim Burton's eponymous 80s cult hit film and subsequent animated series. The movie still doesn't have a sequel despite its minor but strong presence in pop culture. Well, this is a decent filler until the inevitable sequel/reboot arrives. The story follows the gang teaming up with the ghost with the most to find the missing spirit of Halloween somewhere in the kooky and freaky underworld from Beetlejuice's universe. The short adventure is a fun, creative and very heartfelt tribute to Beetlejuice despite its predictable and anticlimactic ending. If this was a backdoor pilot for a Beetlejuice Teen Titans spinoff show, I'm sold. This style of humor and animation is way more appropriate for his character. Speaking of, this is the same Beetlejuice you know and love, if a bit toned down for the younger audience. If you're a fan of his, this is an 8/10 and a must see. If you're not, then this is a 6/10. If you've never heard of Beetlejuice before, please watch the movie and at least the pilot for the 1989 animated series first. Otherwise, you might have fun with the episode, but you won't get the references or why the character is such a big deal to make an enirte Teen Titans crossover episode all about him.
