Tcch. Moe Hare always did get misidentified as Bugs Bunny. Anyway, Bugs' design in turn was lifted from Walt Disney's design for a rabbit in one of his old cartoons, the Tortoise and the Hare.
Harvey Publications, which published Casper and the other "Famous Studios" characters in their comic books after 1950, bought the rights to them AND the 1950-'59 library in '59, which became TV's "MATTY'S FUNDAY FUNNIES" (later syndicated as "CASPER AND COMPANY" in 1962). They acquired the later cartoons up to 1962 for "THE NEW CASPER CARTOON SHOW" in '63.
the H-B logo does not belong here (notwithstanding the fact that H-B did produce some Casper spinoffs)
on another note, Worldvision did once have video and TV rights to the Harveytoons, because ABC once aired them (and Worldvision spun off from ABC)
Paramount Pictures, the original home of Casper, would ironically absorb Worldvision in 1999, but full rights to the Harveytoons are now owned by Classic Media
and another thing - a few years after Worldvision and the owner of many earlier Paramount cartoons, Republic Pictures, came under common ownership, Worldvision would later gain TV rights to those cartoons for a short time
"Casper, the friendly ghost
The friendliest ghost you know
Though the grownups might
Look at him with fright
The children all love him so..."
I was hoping this version would have the lyrics to the song, which it doesn't.
I once read a comedian's remark that, if there's a Casper the Friendly Ghost, that also means that somewhere there's a Casper the Little Dead Boy.

This theme was used from 1955 through the end of the theatrical series in 1959.

@mrclassickids That wasn't Bugs Bunny, but Moe Hare, who appeared in a handful of cartoons with Tommy Tortoise.
