The Ghostly Trio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ghostly Trio (known as Fatso, Fusso and Lazo in the comics and Fatso, Stinkie, and Stretch in the film series), are fictional characters in the Casper the Friendly Ghost's series. They appear in Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios theatrical cartoons from the 1950s. They have also made numerous Harvey Comics appearances and were featured in Casper and the Ghostly Trio.

The Ghostly Trio are Casper's uncles. In most of their appearances, they are shown to, in contrast to Casper, love scaring people and they generally seem to treat Casper as their own personal slave. However, in Casper's Scare School, they are uncharacteristically nice to Casper and they are shown to care for him. In fact, when Casper leaves for Scare School, they spend most of the time he's gone crying. There had previously been a few indications that they cared for Casper, but they were few and far between.

In the Casper feature film, they manage to become friends of sorts with Dr. James Harvey (Bill Pullman) and keep a promise they made to him, overcoming their usual hatred of humans.

[edit] Description

Depending on what's viewed as canon or not, the three ghosts can each be identified as follows:-

[edit] Stretch

Stretch is the lanky leader of the Trio with the "Joisey" accent. Stretch is the most aggressive of the three when it comes to scaring the living, and pulls no punches in his attempts to frighten anyone whether by possession, morphing, or simply appearing in front of someone. Although he acts the harshest towards Casper and his two brothers, he is soon revealed to have somewhat of a soft spot, and is perhaps the most sensible one in making important decisions (that is if they are important enough to care about). Sometimes he goes astray, however, considering that he and his brothers attempt to kill Dr. Harvey (film Casper).

[edit] Fatso

Fatso is the obese and least intelligent of the three, Fatso has a constant appetite for food, regardless of the fact that it literally passes through his body. He treats Casper the same as Stretch and Stinkie, but can easily be manipulated due to his lower IQ. His Appearance and Voice and his love for food, makes him comparable to The Slimer, a ghost from the Ghostbusters series.

[edit] Stinkie

Stinkie is the "middle child" and dubbed the Larry Fine of the group, Stinkie's special talent involves supernatural halitosis and body odor, which he prefers to use as his means of frightening fleshies that dare cross his path. He has a penchant for puns and comedy, and comes off as the more sarcastic jokester of the three, which Stretch tires of more often than not.
