The animated film Ghostbusters doesn’t so much take young viewers on a supernatural adventure as it gently kidnaps them and drags them, wide-eyed and slightly terrified, through a city besieged by things that go bump, squelch and occasionally do the macarena in the night. This merry band of ghost-hunting heroes, who seem to have decided that “normal hobbies” are terribly overrated, dedicate themselves to saving the day—and possibly the whole city—by wielding technology that makes a loud noise and a bigger mess. Amidst the ectoplasmic chaos and comedic misunderstandings, one can’t help but wonder if perhaps the afterlife is populated by a remarkably diverse cast of ghosts who all just desperately need a hug.
You see, Ghostbusters isn’t merely a guide to dealing with the paranormal; it’s a subtly brilliant manifesto on the wonders of teamwork. The film demonstrates that even when you have someone who’s a gadget-building genius, a guy who’s inexplicably good at charging at ghosts with no plan and another fellow who’s simply excellent at screaming, they can collectively get things done. Children, watching this eccentric ensemble flail and triumph, may learn that working together isn’t just necessary—it’s often the only way to keep yourself from being swallowed whole by a malevolent ectoplasmic entity. It’s a charming reminder that, in life, you may not be able to fight the ghost of a giant marshmallow alone, but with friends, you stand a pretty good chance.
