How come The Real Ghosbusters look nothing like Ghostbusters?
Anyone every notice Egon is blonde, Ray has a curl. Was it a likeness copyright thing?

The main characters from the film (with the notable exception of Sigourney Weaver's character) were all present and fought a variety of spectral adversaries. Unlike many other Animated Adaptations, this series took the basic premise of the movies and turned it into an example of the day-to-day busting that the movie didn't have time to show. The primary difference lay in the appearances of the main four characters: to get around having to get the rights to use the likenesses of the cast members of the film, each character was given a new face and look (Egon became a blonde with a pompadour, Ray became a red-headed short guy, and in the case of Peter, a complete character overhaul to make him a young 20-something instead a 30 year old, balding Bill Murray). They gained color-coded uniforms and slightly redesigned equipment, but overall retained the same basic personalities. |

They didn't like their current hair color so had them dyed ;)

I always thought Egon's appearance matched his character better than Ramis in the movie.

If I recall correctly, Ramis spends a moment on the movie commentary bemoaning how Murray always made fun of him for having that Egon haircut in real life for like the next fifteen years.
