A review from IMDb.com:
Most of these thirteen 'toons hail from 1963, when
Casper was on TV on Matty's Funday Funnies (later
Casper was replaced by Beanie and Cecil), along
with a few theatrical releases from 1952, '54 and
'58. The '60s Casper 'toons are probably the best
known, since they were rerun endlessly in
syndication and accompanied the Harvey comics
of the period.
While adults might find some of the '60s crop
somewhat slow, Casper is a young fan's favorite,
and they are better than later Casper revivals
(which they are often confused with) by other
studios. This is a quality collection from Sony
Wonder/ Classic Media, not another of those
"Casper and Friends" DVDs where you get one
Casper 'toon. Every 'toon features Casper, who
in these 'toons lives with the Ghostly trio, and
some star his Harvey comics friends, Wendy,
Spooky, and Nightmare. Also, these are
different 'toons than the standard handful
that show up over and over on cartoon
collections. The '60s ones are about three
minutes each, and were originally shown
on shows with live hosts or other cartoon
segments. The 'fifties 'toons are somewhat
longer, being made for theatrical release,
and are taken from good prints. All in all,
a good collection. I list the contents here

A Visit from Mars; The Absent Minded Robot;
Bedtime Trouble; Boos and Saddles; Doing
What's Fright; The Enchanted Horse; Little
