The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot (1999)

"Big Guy" is an elite fighting robot, protecting New Tronic City from danger, whether from earth or from outer space. When the Big Guy is decommissioned, however, a smaller, childlike robot named Rusty is brought on to take its place. But it is clear that Rusty needs Big Guy's help, and it is up to the two of them to help keep the world a safer place.

    Read synopsis

    Based on the blockbuster films, this action-packed animated series starts a decade after the original Ghostbusters saved New York City from ghosts, goblins and ghouls. All the guys have left town, except Egon, now teaching a Paranormal Studies class at the local university. But Zuul, the all-powerful demon, has awakened from hibernation to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting masses. Desperate to recruit a new team, Egon and the plucky Janine turn to four of his teenage students: Kylie, a genius with an encyclopedic knowledge of the occult; Eduardo, a hip slacker with a crush on Kylie; Garrett, a wheelchair-bound athlete with a hot temper; and Roland, a “gentle giant” mechanical whiz. It's only a matter of time before Egon, Janine, old pal Slimer and the “kids” band together to rid the city of the evildoers.
