Summary: A witch who is flying over New York decides to play a prank on a police helicopter and loses her
cat, Twinkie. The cat lands on Slimer
who is getting a pizza delivery. Slimer
fights with the cat over the pizza and nearly wreaks one of Egon’s
experiments. This causes Egon to yell at
Slimer. Slimer, while holding the cat
told Egon that he was sorry and all of a sudden the damage was magically undone. Egon concluded that the cat was
a witch’s familiar and Slimer, as a ghost, could make wishes with it.

| Slimer finds a magic cat. |
They
decide to keep the cat away from Slimer so not to disrupt reality. The cat however decided it preferred to sleep
on Slimer’s stomach while he was napping.
This causes Slimer’s dreams to become reality. Egon, Ray, and Lewis have to fight through an
army of talking food, a transformer, and Christmas Carolers with Santa
Claus. The Witch comes and joins them
and they work together to get her cat.
When they do all is returned to normal and Slimer wakes up. Before they leave he gets one more wish, a
giant sandwich.
 |
| This is what happens if Slimer gets wishes. |
My Take: I think the Ghostbusters should have made
Slimer grant some reasonable wishes. It
would be nice if the Ghostbusters didn’t have to worry about money all the
time. Louis had the right idea.
Now for
my stray observations:
- The talking food was funny.
- How dumb was that witch? You drop your cat? Don’t you have magic spells to prevent that?
- I am assuming magic is what allowed the cat to survive the fall.
- Why didn’t Egon have the experiment under glass the first time?
