AWN reminds us that 2009 marks the 60th anniversary of Casper and Classic Media, an Entertainment Rights group company, is gearing up for the big celebration with the launch of an expanded licensing program for The Official Ambassador of Halloween. Casper products across key categories, including apparel, DVDs, music, digital content, games and social expressions will begin to roll out to retail in time for Halloween. Classic Media and Genius Products will also be releasing this Halloween the first two volumes in an all-new Casper DVD collection; each themed DVD compilation will contain 12 classic Casper cartoons. Last but not least, a brand new Casper Scare School CG television series will hit the small screen next year; it has been sold to more than 60 territories worldwide already. Key broadcast partners include TF1 (France), Cartoon Network (U.K., Asia, Latin America), YTV (Canada) and Jetix (Europe).
