Biography

Joseph D. Oriolo connu aussi sous les noms de Joseph Oriolo ou Joe Oriolo, naît le 21 février 1913 à Union City dans le New Jersey. En 1933 il est engagé par les studios Fleischer. C'est là qu'il crée avec Seymour Reit en 1940 le personnage de Casper le gentil fantôme. Deux versions de cette création s'opposent. Reit affirme qu'il aurait créé seul le personnage et qu'Oriolo n'aurait fait qu'esquisser l'apparence de Casper. L'autre version est qu'il s'agit d'une création commune. Quoi qu'il en soit, les deux décident de vendre pour 200 $ le personnage aux studios Fleischer qui devient propriétaire de tous les droits. Cependant Casper apparaît pour la première fois seulement en 1945 dans le dessin animé The Friendly Ghost. Lorsqu'en 1942 le studio Fleischer est racheté par Paramount, il rencontre Otto Messmer, le créateur de Félix le chat. En 1958, il s'associe avec Pat Sullivan qui est le neveu de William O. Sullivan le premier propriétaire du copyright de Félix le chat. Ensemble ils créent la série animée mettant en scène ce personnage. Au total il a dirigé 254 épisodes de ce dessin animé. Il a aussi créé Mighty Hercules et a interprété plusieurs personnages dans le dessin animé Gulliver's Travel. Dans le domaine des comics il a dessiné plusieurs histoires de Felix le chat. Joe Oriolo meurt le 25 décembre 1985 à Hackensack dans le New Jersey.

A vindictive woman, Carrigan Crittenden, is upset upon the reading of her late father's will that she was given creepy Whipstaff Manor in Friendship, Maine instead of his fortune, but she changes her tune when she learns that there is a hidden treasure within the property. She and her assistant Dibs go to the house attempting to investigate, but discover that it is haunted by a friendly ghost named Casper and his obnoxious prankster uncles, the Ghostly Trio (Fatso, Stretch and Stinkie), who immediately frighten them off the property. Carrigan tries multiple methods to rid the house of ghosts, but fails time and time again. Meanwhile, Casper sees a report of a paranormal therapist, James Harvey, and is immediately smitten with his teenaged daughter Kat. He quickly inhabits the television in Carrigan's hotel room in order to convince her to have the Harveys come to the manor to investigate the haunting.

In the Kingdom of Oriana, Princess Oriana, ruler of the kingdom, has been informed by a local fortune teller Pearl that her evil uncle, the Duke of Zill, is invading the kingdom. To counter the threat of the Duke, Oriana and Pearl descend into the cavern underneath the castle and attempt to use an ancient device called the "Dimensporter" in order to escape to another dimension and find a hero to save the kingdom. However, they are caught by the Duke's robotic army and imprisoned, while the Duke himself seizes control of the kingdom. As the princess is taken away by the Duke's "Cylinder" robots, she sheds a magical tear, which flies into the Dimensporter in her place and is transported to Felix's dimension, where the eponymous feline is taking a nap underneath a palm tree when the tear finds him. The tear wakes and guides him to an abandoned gold mine, where the Dimensporter is located. Felix, with his magical bag of tricks, is soon transported to the Kingdom of Oriana.
